Why doesn’t CollegiateCamo have my favorite team?

Nittany Lions, Longhorns, Buckeyes, Sooners, Wolfpack, Tarheels, UCONN and no CollegiateCamo.com decals are to be seen anywhere near these classic favorites? Bummer, right? We get emails, phone calls, instant messages, mail, faxes, texts, tweets, updates and every other form of communication that there is about the teams that we don’t have decals for.

First, I want to reiterate that fans should not take our lack of licensing personally. This is not because we don’t like your school or because your football team didn’t rank last year. A requirement to work at CollegiateCamo is that you have to be a fan. That means that we understand and value team passion! We understand that we have a very unique product. We understand that people love driving their pride and representing their favorite team. It also makes CollegiateCamo a very cool place to work.

I want our valued customers to understand why we don’t have your team (yet). CollegiateCamo started out at K-State University back in 2005. We have grown and continue to grow slowly and steadily since then. It all starts with licensing the logo. The process for a university to license a product can be very slow and painstaking. Some universities deny our product. We actually had one licensing director (who spoke with a British accent) say, “We don’t like the connotations that are associated with camo.” (These words came out of the mouth of a person who was not a born American citizen – maybe we can’t blame them?) I explained our stance and that we can understand that camo can be associated with a lot of things, but that our products do not represent anything that can be deemed with a negative connotation.

I would like for you to take into consideration that the outdoor world is beautiful, but it also has people who are not fans of it. Some of those people work at the universities. We do want you to understand we try our very best to obtain as many licensings as possible, but we just can’t get them all. Sometimes we get licensings and sometimes we have to take the denial and just play the hand of cards we are dealt.

So, there you have it. We don’t do this on purpose, and wish we could feature every school, and we don’t want people to not like our product because we don’t have your school. We can help empower you though. You can contact your favorite school’s licensing director and tell them you want your team’s decals made in camo by CollegiateCamo. You can find this information by doing a quick google search on the words “licensing director” and your favorite university’s name.

In the meantime, we’ll keep plugging away and trying to make as many schools available as possible! One foot in front of the other, right? We love our customers and truly appreciate your patience! (If you absolutely can’t wait for your favorite school’s licensing to come through, one thing you may wish to do is purchase our “Just Antlers” decal, “Just Bass” decal, “Just Ducks” decal or “Just Pheasants” decal and pair it with your favorite college decal!)
