Psychology Of Winners
Championship apparel, banquet awards, alumni reunion gear, booster club fundraisers, veterans memorial merch, challenge coins, and locker-room signage.
THE NUMBER
18M+
veterans, 2024
The athletics, alumni, and veterans market.
The US has more than 18 million living military veterans, roughly half a million NCAA student-athletes annually, and active alumni programs at more than 4,000 degree-granting institutions. Recognition merch is core to all three — championships, reunions, commemorations, and service.

Min order
Championship and playoff windows handled with priority routing — let your rep know the bracket and we hold capacity. Reunion and milestone-anniversary programs run on annual contracts with locked pricing across classes.
What coaches, AD offices, alumni directors, and post commanders ask before they call.
We just won state. Can you turn championship gear in 72 hours?
Yes — championship and playoff windows are what we hold capacity for. Stock items, single-color decoration, and front-only print can routinely turn in 72 hours. Multi-color, embroidery, or championship rings need more lead time. You get the answer before you cut the PO.
Do you handle officially-licensed college and pro marks?
Yes — licensed-mark programs are routed through licensed decorators per the school or league's compliance rules. If your athletic department or alumni office has a mark-use agreement, we work inside it. If it doesn't, your rep walks you through what's required.
Can boosters get tax-exempt billing on a PO?
Yes. Booster clubs, parent associations, alumni foundations, and 501(c)(3) veterans posts handled in-house with net-30 PO terms standard. Send your exemption certificate once and your rep tags every future order correctly.
Do you do chenille letters and varsity numerals in-house?
Yes — chenille and tackle-twill digitization, stitching, and full letterman jacket assembly all handled in-house. Most letterman jacket programs run 4–6 weeks; rush available for senior-night and award-banquet deadlines.
What's the minimum for a custom challenge coin?
A hundred pieces on most three-color enamel coins, fifty on simpler single-color runs. Smaller runs are possible — the per-unit cost climbs fast, and we'll tell you up front whether it's worth doing.
Can we run our reunion program with locked pricing across class years?
Yes. Alumni offices and milestone-anniversary programs are some of our most-requested recurring contracts. Lock per-piece pricing once, your rep executes against it for every class year, every reunion weekend.
NOW RECRUITING
This division is looking for its lead.
We're not hiring a salesperson. We're recruiting a coach, athletic director, alumni-association director, booster-club president, or veterans-post commander who's tired of buying gear from someone who's never sat in the locker room or the post hall. You bring the network — your former teams, alumni boards, vet-org chapters, the people who already trust you. We bring an ASI distributor account running since 1999, NCAA and NFHS routing, in-house chenille and challenge-coin capability, and the back office.
