AXIS HATS & CLC
AXIS HATS works in partnership with the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) to ensure that our collegiate artwork is created with the proper licensing, approvals, and respect for each university’s brand.
For colleges and universities represented by CLC, please contact your university’s licensing representative and ask them to connect directly with Tim Klaasen, the initial point of contact for CLC colleges and universities interested in working with us.
His immediate recognition of the artwork's uniqueness helped pave the way for the brand to thrive in the competitive collegiate licensing industry—a testament that small, creative ideas can shine amidst the noise of big commercial business.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CLC HISTORY
CLC is the nation’s leading collegiate trademark licensing and marketing agency.
Founded in 1981 by Bill Battle, CLC’s story has strong roots in collegiate tradition. While developing a licensing program for legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, Battle discovered that The University of Alabama did not yet have a formal licensing program. Alabama soon became CLC’s first university client.
Today, CLC works with collegiate institutions to protect and strengthen their brands while creating meaningful connections between schools and their communities. Through trademark licensing and brand management, CLC helps ensure that university names, logos, and other protected marks are represented thoughtfully and appropriately.
EXTENSIVE PARTNERSHIPS
For those schools that administer their own licensing program or are managed by any agency other than CLC and want to receive more information about our process, please contact directly.
