Winning Sports Uniforms
From youth and high school teams to college intramurals and adult leagues, this market poses plenty of opportunity for branded apparel.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the college sports industry in America is worth just over $14 billion. That’s a massive market to tap into with branded merchandise. And after the NCAA’s ruling last year that college athletes can now benefit monetarily from usage of their individual Name, Image and Likenesses (NIL), this industry looks to offer even more sales opportunities for promo firms.
