NOVUS Returns to RaeLynn’s Driving for Diabetes Celebrity Golf Tournament
For the second consecutive year, NOVUS served as a presenting sponsor of RaeLynn’s Driving for Diabetes Celebrity Golf Tournament in Nashville, Tennessee.
Nick Bernardo and Scott Klimchak represented NOVUS alongside Jessie James Decker, DJ Cisco, and our longtime partners from the Folds of Honor Nashville chapter for a weekend centered around golf, music, and giving back.
NOVUS created custom tournament apparel featuring floral camo performance polos and women’s sleeveless polos designed specifically for the event.
The weekend began with the Writers’ Round, where NOVUS showcased signature products during an evening featuring acclaimed songwriter Rhett Akins and performances from Jon Pardi, Leeland, and RaeLynn.
Supporting FCA at the Chicagoland Pro Day
NOVUS was proud to support the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at the FCA Chicagoland Pro Day, continuing to grow our relationship with FCA and its communities across the country.
For the event, NOVUS outfitted golfers with custom performance polos and golf towels while our team connected with FCA leaders from throughout the region.
Our partnership with FCA continues to create opportunities for NOVUS to support camps, golf events, athletes, and other initiatives throughout the year through custom apparel and headwear.
A Strong Finish to Our Second Summer at Saratoga Race Course
August marked the final stretch of NOVUS’ second season at Saratoga Race Course and another major chapter in our growing partnership with the New York Racing Association.
During the prestigious August horse sales, NOVUS launched an exclusive Fasig-Tipton Collection featuring limited-edition performance polos, quarter-zips, and headwear. The collection sold out during the sales.
NOVUS also continued to expand its presence throughout Saratoga Race Course, with product available inside the official Saratoga Race Course Shop and at the Trackside Grill.
From custom staff apparel to retail collections inspired by summers in Saratoga, our second season working with NYRA continued to bring the NOVUS brand to one of horse racing’s most iconic destinations.
On the Road in Central Pennsylvania
Our team traveled through Central Pennsylvania in August to support the Veterans Outreach of Pennsylvania Golf Tournament and its mission of providing tiny homes, resources, and support for veterans.
Along the way, we also visited Messiah University, Central Dauphin High School, and Bishop McDevitt High School.
These visits gave our team an opportunity to connect directly with athletic programs and continue expanding NOVUS’ custom team apparel, uniform, and headwear relationships throughout Pennsylvania.
NOVUS Returns to Anderson University
NOVUS Creative Director Garrett returned to Anderson University in South Carolina for the university’s annual student-athlete kickoff.
Speaking alongside Athletic Director Bert Epting, Garrett shared the NOVUS story and lessons from his journey as a former Anderson student-athlete turned entrepreneur.
NOVUS also unveiled the 2026 Anderson student-athlete shirt, featuring Anderson Gold and the Trojans’ “Charge On” theme.
The visit marked another step in our growing relationship with Anderson Athletics as we continue working with programs across the university on custom athletic apparel.
Growing the NOVUS Team
August also brought two new additions to the NOVUS team as we continue building the infrastructure to support our growth.
Welcome Jesse Flynt
Jesse Flynt joins NOVUS as our full-time Controller. With previous experience at Sprout Social and GlobalFoundries, Jesse brings a strong financial background to NOVUS and will play an important role in supporting the company as we continue to grow.
Welcome Austin Byler
Austin Byler joins the NOVUS Outside Sales team in Arizona.
A former University of Nevada student-athlete and Arizona Diamondbacks draft pick, Austin brings professional baseball experience along with a background in Fellowship of Christian Athletes and motivational speaking.
His experience in athletics and the Southwest will help NOVUS continue building relationships with teams, schools, and athletic organizations throughout Arizona and beyond.
What’s Next for NOVUS
As summer comes to a close, our focus shifts toward a busy fall season of custom uniforms, team apparel, headwear, team stores, collegiate partnerships, and new product launches.
From Friday nights under the lights to college campuses and some of the biggest stages in sports, we’re excited to keep creating custom apparel that represents the teams and communities wearing it.
