Manufacturing Partners
Apply to Become a Titan Athletics Manufacturing Partner
Titan Athletics Co. is building a small, vetted network of apparel manufacturers. We are not collecting quotations. We are qualifying partners for recurring production.
Who we are
Titan Athletics Co. is a U.S.-based sports technology, training and athletic apparel company. We build training tools, performance-tracking apps and apparel for student-athletes, and we run the Global Free Throw World Record Challenge.
We are now launching Titan Athletics branded apparel and are selecting the manufacturers who will produce it.
How the partnership works
Our purchasing model is built on customer pre-orders rather than large speculative inventory. Here is exactly what that looks like from your side.
-
You apply
Complete the qualification form below. It replaces back-and-forth messaging and lets us compare every manufacturer on the same terms.
-
We purchase a paid sample
Shortlisted suppliers produce a finished sample using our artwork, fabric, print method, labels and packaging. Not a generic blank. The exact product a Titan customer would receive.
-
We evaluate against the Titan apparel standard
Fabric and construction, print and color accuracy, sizing, fit, labeling, packaging, and a three-cycle wash test for shrinkage, color retention and print durability.
-
You become an approved partner
Suppliers who pass are added to our approved manufacturing network and we negotiate production pricing across quantity tiers.
-
We place consolidated production orders
Titan opens a product for pre-order, closes the batch on a fixed date, and sends you one production order with the full size and design breakdown. For example: 37 Small, 64 Medium, 81 Large, 46 XL, 22 2XL. One 250-unit order.
-
Volume grows with the brand
Early batches will be modest. Successful products lead to larger and more frequent orders. We are looking for manufacturers whose business model fits our current scale and whose capacity fits where we are going.
What we value
- Low minimums with mixed sizes inside the same order
- Multiple designs and colorways within one production run
- Custom neck labels, hangtags and branded packaging
- Genuine performance fabrics, not cotton promo blanks
- Documented quality control and a real defect policy
- DDP shipping to the United States
- Clear, fast, honest communication
- Willingness to grow with a company that is starting small
What we are not
- We are not looking for the lowest price on the market
- We will not approve a supplier from photos or a catalog alone
- We will not commit to volumes we have not sold
- We are not a fit for factories optimized around 5,000-piece runs
Product quality and the customer experience are what we are protecting. A supplier that meets our standard will get repeat business. A supplier that cuts corners on batch two will not.
