Abstract
A sports towel includes an integrated, semi-rigid squeegee tab along one edge of the towel. The squeegee tab is tapered along its outer edge, allowing for effective wiping of planar surfaces such as the visor on a sporting helmet. The towel is securely attached to the squeegee tab through a double stitch that extends through a folded-over edge of the towel and a towel-receiving slot on the top of the squeegee tab. An indicia-receiving slot on the top side of the squeegee tab provides an opportunity for product branding or logo placement. Additionally, the towel includes hook-and-loop material to allow for easy attachment to a player's uniform. The invention offers a convenient and efficient solution for athletes to keep their helmet visors clean and dry during gameplay.
