Our Story

Tailgate Tikes was founded in 2023. Our story is rooted in a passion for sports and a deep love for the tradition of college football games and tailgating. Founded by Shannon (Go Hawkeyes!) and Bill (Go Hoosiers!) proud parents of Toddler Twins, our brand reflects the cherished memories of our own childhoods spent immersed in the excitement of game day.

As lifelong fans and tailgate enthusiasts, we understand the unique thrill of cheering on your favorite team and savoring the camaraderie of fellow fans. Those unforgettable moments from our youth ignited a spark, inspiring us to create a destination where like minded fans can find the perfect clothing options to celebrate their team pride with style.

Our commitment to providing fun and fashionable clothing for young fans stems from our own experiences and the values we hold dear: team spirit, family, and the joy of creating lasting memories together. With Tailgate Tikes, we invite you to relive the magic of game day and outfit your little MVPs in gear that embodies the spirit of the sports we hold dear. We are a Women-Owned business with products designed in the USA and shipped from our facility in San Antonio, Texas. 

Lastly, being in business is not just about making money, we actively support youth sports programs and children’s charities and organizations, empowering young athletes and promoting an active lifestyle. Join our community of sports-loving parents and experience the Tailgate Tikes difference. Let's celebrate the joy of raising little fans together. Connect with us today!
