About Bluegrass Elite
Born in the Bluegrass. Built by a Veteran. Designed for the Fans.
Bluegrass Elite started with one mission: bring the pride of Kentucky and Cincinnati football into premium gear that’s made with purpose. As a USMC Veteran and Kentucky native, I wanted to create more than just T-shirts — I wanted apparel that connects community, carries heritage, and stands up to the energy of game day.
Our Story
From the roar of Paycor Stadium to the echo of Rupp Arena, I’ve always felt the magic of sports bringing people together. After years of watching the hype of game day fade once the final whistle blew, I decided to build a brand that keeps that spirit alive every day of the week.
Each design is inspired by what makes our region unique — football, basketball, bourbon, and the beauty of Kentucky’s outdoors. Whether you’re tailgating in Lexington, repping stripes in Cincinnati, or exploring Red River Gorge, Bluegrass Elite is made to move with you.
