It's Time to Evolve

We love our teams. We live for game day. But somewhere along the way, school spirit became synonymous with cheap polyester that falls apart after three washes.

We're here to change that. Tailgate Theory is about celebrating Texas traditions with pieces that last—crafted from organic cotton, designed in Austin, and built to become wardrobe staples you'll reach for long after graduation.

This is school spirit, reimagined.

Every piece is crafted with intention for reuse and mix-n-match styles.

Say Goodbye to Fast Fashion

That $15 jersey? It's made from synthetic polyester in overseas factories with questionable labor practices. It'll pill after one wash, end up in a landfill within months, and contribute to the 92 million tons of textile waste created annually.

Your school spirit deserves better. Your skin deserves better.

The Fast Fashion Truth

The fashion industry is the second-largest polluter in the world. Every year, billions of pounds of game day gear end up in landfills. It's time for a revolution—one capsule wardrobe at a time.
