It's summertime in Texas. That being said, most people are trying to find ways to cool down, and less focused on a warm jacket. Bring your child for their fitting now, and receive it just in time for cooler weather!

With an impressive list of clientele that includes all of the Big 12 schools, Plano-based Maverick Jackets has certainly left its mark as the leading manufacturer of letterman award jackets, blankets and customized athletic apparel.
Growing up in Indiana, founder Don Giddens was a venture capitol investor for eight years at a company that would be the precursor to Maverick Jackets. When the original investors decided to pursue other business endeavors, Giddens bought the company and moved it to Plano.
“I’ve been involved in athletics pretty much my entire life, and it made an impression on me,” said Giddens, who attended St. Edward’s University in Austin on a basketball scholarship. “It was just a very logical choice with the amount of universities in the Texas region and their commitment and interest in athletics. It was a no-brainer that an athletic award company should take advantage of all that school spirit in the Texas region.”
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.
This is a very well done video from our friends at Iowa State Letterwinners Club that gives some insight into the importance and history behind the letter jacket tradition at Iowa State. Maverick is the proud manufacturer and supplier of award jackets to Iowa State and we look forward to outfitting many more letterwinners in the future.
Maverick Awards is the proud manufacturer and supplier of letter jackets to Virginia Tech University. We would like to congratulate the student athletes who have put in the time and effort to earn their Virginia Tech Varsity Letter Jacket. Their achievements were recognized during an inaugural letter jacket ceremony held in McConnell Auditorium on Feb. 2, 2015.
At a time when many schools are moving away from a traditional letter jacket award ceremony, it is great to see a school like Virginia Tech begin the tradition for their hard-working student athletes. We hope more colleges and universities follow their lead and keep the letter jacket tradition alive!

At the 2014 Hall of Fame ceremony, Michigan State honored members of the Michigan State Hall of Fame with the gift of a letter jacket. The left chest chenille bears the distinction, "Hall of Fame". Our friends at Michigan State were kind enough to send along a "thanks you" card with this photo. It is great to see such an exceptional group of athletes proudly wearing their Maverick Awards letter jackets.
As a manufacturer, we are so focused on making the highest quality awards (along with the delivery and service), that we sometimes forget that our awards are part of something special.

For the largest university in our home state of Texas and the #1 revenue grossing athletic program in NCAA, Maverick proudly manufacturers athletic awards. This video is from The University of Texas Letter Jacket ceremony held Jan. 17, 2014 in the T-Room at The University of Texas. First year letter winners received their Varsity Letter Jacket this evening. We hope the student athletes understand it is more than just the wool and leather that make up the jackets... It is recognition of their dedication and hard work.
We hope the student athletes wear their letter jackets with honor and pride, and we look forward to helping continue the tradition of letter jackets and other athletic awards at The University of Texas, well into the future!
