Athletic Solutions is the first company in the industry to be able to create, and fulfill orders for, individual online stores for every athlete on every roster. By combining this with upwards of 150 uniquely co-branded products such as quarter zips, accessories, blankets, and traditional products such as t-shirts, hoodies and hats in each athlete’s store, the end result is that every athlete who wants to participate in NIL now has a great opportunity to do so.
“Our mission has always been and will continue to be to create NIL opportunities for all athletes at all schools. Through our patent pending software, we can merge products and design selections with all licensed athletes on a roster to create an incredible store with unprecedented selection,” said Tom Feiden, president and CEO.
