Custom Teams, Logos & Branding
Flag is about stirring excitement in kids. We want kids to feel connected to their team and feel a strong sense of emotion and pride when they put on their jersey and play for their colors.
Custom teams also potentially gives sales an option to upsell; e.g., buy the base package with generic USA Football kits in year one, purchase the full league option in year two.
