A NEW LOOK. A NEW APPEAL. A GLOBAL VISION

TAMPA, FLORIDA — NOVEMBER 3, 2026

Pittman’s Pocket is preparing to introduce an exciting new addition to its growing brand: the Pittman’s Pocket HBCU True Freshman All-American Apparel Collection, bringing a fresh look, distinctive identity, and championship-inspired appeal to the HBCU marketplace and global sports apparel community.

Built around the recognition, development, and celebration of outstanding HBCU student-athletes, Pittman’s Pocket is taking another step toward expanding its footprint beyond football evaluation and recognition. This new apparel collection represents an opportunity for athletes, alumni, supporters, families, and fans of Historically Black Colleges and Universities to represent the next generation of HBCU excellence.

The initial apparel introduction features premium athletic-inspired hooded sweatshirts in both black and white, displaying the distinctive HBCU True Freshman All-American emblem. The collection brings together athletic identity, collegiate pride, and a recognizable design that represents the accomplishments and potential of HBCU football’s emerging stars.

THE OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION AND RETAIL LAUNCH

Following the official introduction on November 4, 2026, Pittman’s Pocket will begin making its new apparel collection available for direct-to-consumer sales, with online purchasing and shipping preparations ready to serve customers.

INITIAL RETAIL PRICE: $55.00 PER HOODIE.

Shipping costs are separate and are not included in the $55 retail price.

The initial collection introduces a new opportunity for the Pittman’s Pocket brand to connect with the HBCU community while establishing a presence in the broader national and international sports apparel market.

MORE THAN APPAREL — IT REPRESENTS A MOVEMENT

Pittman’s Pocket has continued to develop its identity through independent football scouting, recruiting analysis, player recognition, and the promotion of emerging HBCU talent.

The HBCU True Freshman All-American platform was created to recognize incoming freshmen and first-year contributors whose athletic abilities, preparation, and performances deserve national attention.

Now, that same identity is expanding into apparel.

An important part of the brand’s long-term vision is to build its identity around the student-athletes who earn recognition through the Pittman’s Pocket HBCU True Freshman All-American selections.

The program’s FIRST TEAM, SECOND TEAM, AND THIRD TEAM SELECTIONS will serve as the foundation for building the brand’s athletic identity, visibility, and national recognition. These selected athletes represent the talent, achievement, and competitive spirit that Pittman’s Pocket wants to showcase to the HBCU community and beyond.

The vision is to create a connection between athletic achievement and brand representation, giving recognized freshmen an opportunity to become ambassadors of a growing HBCU apparel identity.

The objective is bigger than selling clothing. It is about establishing a platform where the athletes who earn recognition become part of the brand’s story and continued development.

A LOCAL TAMPA PARTNERSHIP — PROUDLY PRODUCED WITH DMAXX SPORTS

Pittman’s Pocket is proud to introduce a local Tampa business partnership with DMAXX Sports, located at 5011 W. Hillsborough Avenue, Tampa, Florida.

Under the leadership of owners Shauntrell James and Darlos James, DMAXX Sports will serve as the apparel production partner for the Pittman’s Pocket HBCU True Freshman All-American collection.

This partnership represents an important component of the brand’s development, bringing together local business, sportswear production, and the growing national appeal of HBCU athletics.

By working with a Tampa-based sportswear company, Pittman’s Pocket is investing in a local partnership while developing an apparel identity designed to reach customers throughout the United States and internationally.

The collaboration also reflects an important part of the overall vision: building relationships with businesses that can help turn an idea into a recognizable product and a lasting brand.

Local partnership. National recognition. Global ambition.

A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER: ESTELLE GRANBERRY WADE

This introduction also carries a deeply personal meaning that extends beyond business.

The vision behind this next chapter includes a special tribute to my mother, Estelle Granberry Wade, whose memory and influence remain an important part of my inspiration and journey.

Her vision represents something greater than the introduction of a clothing collection. It represents the importance of building something that can continue to grow, create opportunities, recognize young talent, and establish a lasting legacy.

As her son, I want this brand to represent more than a business accomplishment. I want it to become something that future generations of HBCU athletes can identify with, participate in, and proudly represent.

Through the First, Second, and Third Team HBCU True Freshman All-American selections, the athletes themselves will help carry that vision forward.

Some visions extend beyond the individuals who first imagine them. They become part of a legacy that continues through the work, dedication, and accomplishments of those who carry them forward.

HER VISION. HER LEGACY. A NEW GENERATION’S OPPORTUNITY.

THE NEXT CHAPTER OF PITTMAN’S POCKET

From football scouting and player evaluations to HBCU True Freshman All-American recognition and now branded apparel, Pittman’s Pocket continues to explore opportunities to expand its influence in collegiate athletics.

The introduction of this collection represents another step toward building a nationally recognized and globally accessible HBCU-inspired brand.

The message is simple:

REPRESENT THE CULTURE. CELEBRATE THE TALENT. WEAR THE LEGACY.

The Pittman’s Pocket HBCU True Freshman All-American apparel collection is coming to the marketplace.
