Our Story

Tailgate Tikes was founded in 2023 by two proud parents of toddler twins who wanted to bring the spirit of college game day to the next generation of little fans.

Inspired by the traditions of tailgating, family watch parties, campus memories, and cheering on favorite teams year after year, Tailgate Tikes was created to make it easier for babies, toddlers, and kids to be part of the excitement. We set out to build a brand that combines premium comfort, officially licensed collegiate designs, and game-day style made just for little MVPs.

As parents and lifelong college sports fans, we know how special it is to celebrate team pride as a family. Whether it’s a Saturday morning kickoff, a cozy night in, a family photo, or a first trip to campus, the best memories are often made when everyone gets to join in.

At Tailgate Tikes, we believe college traditions start early. Our premium bamboo sleepwear is designed to be soft, comfortable, and spirited, helping little fans cheer, play, and dream in officially licensed team styles.

As a women-owned business, we’re proud to create high-quality collegiate sleepwear that brings families closer to the teams, traditions, and memories they love most.
