NIL Partnerships

Building Brands with Heart, Hustle & Authenticity

Empowering Student-Athletes. Elevating Brands.
Your brand has power—and so do the athletes who represent it. Our NIL partnership program connects your company with driven, talented student-athletes who embody your values, giving both your brand and their story the platform they deserve.

What We Offer

• Custom Apparel Partnerships: Provide athletes with premium branded gear that matches their hustle.

• Collaborative Branding: We design and produce custom looks that merge your brand with their personal style.

• Social Amplification: Build authentic visibility through the athlete’s social media presence and storytelling.

• Community Impact: Support local athletes while strengthening your brand’s connection to the community.

• Custom Online Stores: We design and host dedicated NIL stores featuring your co-branded merchandise—making it easy for fans, families, and communities to show support and shop your collab.

How It Works

1. Connect: Reach out to discuss your brand and goals.

2. Match: We help pair you with athletes who reflect your mission and values.

3. Create: Collaborate on apparel, promotions, and storytelling content.

4. Launch: Celebrate your partnership across platforms—digital, local, and beyond. The key to the programs success is the promotion of the stores through your social media.  We provide advice and assistance to what other programs have done to make this a successful partnership.  For example: Player contests- autographed jersey giveaways- specialty night pregame warmups.

The sale of these products help student athletes through scholarship opportunities and monetizing their name, image and likeness (NIL).   Jerseys and hoodies can be purchased blank or you can customize them with a current player’s name and number, allowing them to monetize the use of their name and receive compensation from their brand.
