GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) has selected Northwest Designs as the Official Merchandise Provider of the Florida High Shool State Championships through a new multi-year partnership focused on enhancing how Florida’s student-athletes and supporters celebrate championship achievement.
Beginning with the upcoming championship season, Northwest Designs will create a dedicated merchandise program designed around the energy, pride and diversity of high school athletics in Florida. The program will feature official championship apparel available at FHSAA events and through an expanded online store.
At All State Championship venues, Northwest Designs will offer onsite, on-demand printing that allows customers to build personalized commemorative apparel. Student-athletes, families and fans will be able to choose from a variety of garments, sport-specific artwork and customization options to create merchandise connected to their individual championship experience. Northwest Designs will additionally service select District & Regional Championships to expand offering to lower rounds.
“Competing for an FHSAA State Championship is an unforgettable milestone for our student-athletes and school communities,” said Craig Damon, Executive Director of the FHSAA. “This partnership will give our athletes and fans more ways to celebrate those accomplishments through an improved selection of official merchandise, convenient onsite service and great online availability.”
The merchandise collection will combine traditional championship apparel with updated styles created for today’s student-athletes. Offerings will include Northwest Designs’ exclusive NWD Dri-Fit line, performance apparel, championship keepsakes and additional products developed specifically for FHSAA sports.
Online purchasing will extend the experience beyond the championship venue. Official merchandise will be available before and after events, giving supporters across Florida convenient access while allowing teams, families and alumni to commemorate championship appearances long after the final competition.
“Florida high school athletics are defined by remarkable talent, passionate communities and tremendous school pride,” said Victor Sviridyuk, Director of Sales and Business Development for Northwest Designs. “We want the merchandise experience to feel like a true part of championship week—from the excitement of choosing a design onsite to wearing that apparel years later and remembering what it took to get there. We are proud to work with the FHSAA and serve student-athletes and families throughout the sunshine state.”
Northwest Designs brings more than four decades of experience serving high-profile youth, high school and collegiate events nationwide. Its onsite production model is designed to provide greater product variety, reduce merchandise sellouts and adapt inventory to the demand at each championship.
