Big 12 Equipment Managers Visit Maverick

The 2015 Big 12 Equipment Managers Meetings were hosted by our good friends at TCU, in nearby Ft. Worth, TX. As part of the itinerary for the meetings, they showed their support for Maverick and asked us to host us a tour of our facility to which we happily obliged.

This was a great opportunity for our Big 12 customers and fellow vendors to tour our facilities and get a "behind the scenes" look at what goes into the manufacturing and decoration process of lettermen jackets, award blankets, framed awards and chenille. We are proud of our business and our 18,000 manufacturing facility. We were honored to be able to show it off and this was a very nice show of respect from our Big 12 Equipment friends.

Maverick currently manufactures and supplies athletic awards to ALL Big 12 schools.
