TL;DR: Four brothers. One brand. A vision beyond football. The Pittman Boysâa tight-knit group of athletes from John Carroll High Schoolâare launching their Pippinâ Boys clothing line this Saturday. What started as their fatherâs community work has grown into a full-fledged business with a mission: financial stability, giving back, and building something that lasts.
đŹ Why It Matters: This isnât just another merch drop. Itâs young athletes thinking beyond the game, proving that entrepreneurship and sports can go hand in hand.
đ From the Field to Fashion: The Pippinâ Boys brand traces back to their fatherâs efforts in the communityâorganizing events for kids and later selling Italian ice. Over time, that evolved into a clothing brand that represents their journey and ambition.
The Name & Colors: The brand name represents their bond as brothers, and their core colorsâblue, black, and whiteâpay homage to their high school, John Carroll.
Bigger Than Merch: Their goal is to generate $10,000 annuallyâensuring financial security long after their football careers end.
A Community Focus: Beyond making money, they want to give back to younger athletes and inspire kids to think about business at an early age.
đ Football First, But Not Forever: While their brand is a major focus, football is still the main priority for the Pittman Boys.
Each brother plays a different position, but they all push each other to be better.
Their dream schools include Oregon, Colorado, USF, and Houstonâwith a strong focus on programs that develop top talent.
Trash talk? A family tradition. One brother admits, âI talk to the other teamâs sideline before I even return a kick.â
đĄ The Business Mindset: When asked whoâs the most business-savvy, the brothers couldnât pick just one. Itâs clear that entrepreneurship runs in the familyâincluding their little sister, who already runs her own successful lemonade business.
âBest lemonade in the world, if you ask me.â
đ Whatâs Next? The Pippinâ Boys brand officially launches this Saturday, with merch available for purchase. But this is just the beginning. Whether itâs in football, fashion, or business, the Pittman Boys are building something bigger than themselves.
