OUR STORY

NOVUS Clothing Company is a fast-growing custom apparel company specializing in team sportswear, uniforms, corporate attire, and collegiate apparel. Founded in 2011 by collegiate athletes, Nick and Garrett Bernardo, along with Scott Klimchak, NOVUS originated on the vibrant campuses of UMaine and Rutgers University. Initially born from a passion for perfectly fitting athletic apparel, the positive reception from college teammates fueled their ambition to establish a company committed to leaving a lasting impact on everyone who wears their creations.

NOVUS creates cutting-edge, premium apparel that’s fully customizable, competitively priced, and crafted from high-quality materials. As former collegiate and professional athletes, the founders transformed a college side hustle into a flourishing career, securing licensing agreements with prestigious institutions such as UMaine, Syracuse University, Clemson University and partnerships with professional athletes like Harrison Butker, kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs.

At the heart of NOVUS is a profound mission, realized through purpose-driven products and partnerships that align with their core values. The company's mantra, "Claim Your Crown," symbolizes an unwavering commitment to living a life of passion, conviction, and perseverance. With this mentality, NOVUS approaches each day and every opportunity, striving to bring out the best in themselves and those they serve.

CLAIM YOUR CROWN.
