At Colosseum Athletics, we know college. Since receiving our first license, we knew that we wanted to create unique premium apparel that inspires fans to show their team spirit while standing out from the rest of the crowd. Our diverse product lines suggest that we’ve adapted to the ever-changing market trends yet staying true to our roots and passion for all thing’s college.
WHERE WE STARTED:
Stuart Whang, the founder of Colosseum Athletics, was a young boy when he moved to America from South Korea. His parents opened a little clothing shop in downtown Los Angeles, where he worked after school as a teenager. This was his springboard for a future in the apparel business. After attending the University of Southern California, Stuart became passionate about college sports and being a proud fan. His entrepreneurial spirit had him starting Colosseum Athletics in 1992. In the beginning, he was designer, developer, and lead salesman. He received his first school licenses in headwear and traveled across America attending tradeshows. From these humble beginnings of what started as a one-man operation, has turned into a top leading apparel manufacturer in the NCAA industry holding over 900+ licensing agreements with colleges and universities nationwide. With a belief that fans should be seen as well as heard, Stuart knows it is important to Own The Stands in gear that cheers your team on to victory.
WHERE WE’RE GOING:
Expanding beyond college apparel, Colosseum Athletics is comprised of Colosseum Active and Colosseum Outdoors. Our company’s ability to serve diverse market segments with a unified goal is showcased through its emphasis on a team-first mindset, culture for innovation, and dedication to minimizing our carbon footprint.
