Athlete's Thread allows any college athlete to essentially launch a personal merch store for free.
After they sign up on the platform, the Athlete's Thread team builds out their catalog.
As of March 2024, Athlete's Thread is licensed with 150 colleges and has about 14,000 student-athletes on its platform.
