Customer Spotlight: South Colonie Basketball
South Colonie Varsity Basketball is on an undefeated streak and we’re so excited to be a part of their journey. The team has been geared up with NOVUS warm-ups, practice uniforms and have been rocking their Claim Your Crown tees during weight room training. Coach Davis has been an amazing coach and embodiment of what our mantra is all about.
“I think it’s a pretty easy choice when it comes to comfortable custom apparel that looks good and plays good. You know, the athletes love it. It’s a no brainer for us. I just love the ability to create from a variety of different products, all the way down to the details, logos, placement. NOVUS is doing things that most other companies don’t do. You’re involved in the process, and I think that’s important.”- Coach Greg Davis
