Our Story
Tailgate Tikes was founded in 2023 by Shannon and Bill, proud parents of toddler twins and lifelong college sports fans. Inspired by the traditions of game day, tailgating, and the memories they made growing up around their favorite teams, they created Tailgate Tikes to bring that same spirit to the next generation of little fans.
As parents and passionate supporters — Go Hawkeyes and Go Hoosiers — Shannon and Bill understand how special it is to celebrate team pride as a family. They set out to build a brand that combines comfort, style, and officially licensed collegiate designs, giving babies, toddlers, and kids a fun way to join in on game-day traditions.
