The Wisconsin Standard: Where Every Town Has Champions
🧀
Championship DNA
From Titletown Green Bay to small-town dynasties, Wisconsin breeds winners. Your mascot should embody that championship expectation that runs through every community.
❄️
Tough As Winter
Wisconsin kids play football in November snow and basketball in February blizzards. Your mascot needs to reflect that hardened, never-quit attitude that defines Badger State athletics.
🏘️
Community Pride
Whether you’re in Milwaukee or a town of 800, Friday night football brings everyone together. Your mascot isn’t just for students – it’s for three generations of families in the stands.
The Wisconsin Reality Check
The Packers Effect
Every Wisconsin kid grows up watching championship football. Your school mascot competes with the gold standard of professional sports branding.
Open Enrollment Wars
Wisconsin’s school choice policies mean families can pick districts. Professional branding helps attract and retain students in competitive markets.
Small Town Legacy
In rural Wisconsin, your mascot represents the entire county. It’s on main street businesses, water towers, and family heirlooms passed down for decades.
Friday Night Lights Meet Wisconsin Grit
When November Football Meets January Basketball
Picture this: It’s November in Wisconsin. Snow is falling. The temperature is 15 degrees. And 3,000 people are packed into the bleachers watching their Vikings, Eagles, or Warriors battle for a playoff spot.
This isn’t just about football. This is about community identity. About proving that small-town Wisconsin can compete with anyone. About carrying on traditions that started when your grandparents were students.
Your mascot better be worthy of that devotion.
The Wisconsin Test

✓ Will it inspire fourth-quarter comebacks?

Questions from Wisconsin Schools
Can a mascot really help with school referendums in Wisconsin?
Absolutely. Wisconsin communities that take pride in their schools fund their schools. Professional branding demonstrates excellence and forward-thinking leadership. We’ve seen schools increase referendum support by 15-20% with comprehensive rebranding campaigns that show community investment in excellence.
Our town has 800 people and our mascot is everywhere. How do we update tradition?
We specialize in honoring tradition while creating modern excellence. Keep the name, update the look. We involve the entire community – from current students to alumni who graduated 40 years ago. The goal isn’t to change everything; it’s to make your tradition look as proud as it feels. Plus, updated merchandise often funds the entire project.
Do you understand WIAA requirements for different divisions?
Yes! All our designs meet Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association standards across all divisions and sports. From 8-man football championships to state basketball tournaments at the Kohl Center, your mascot will represent with championship presence. We also ensure designs work for both fall and winter sports visibility.
What about winter weather visibility?
Wisconsin-specific challenge! We design with winter conditions in mind – high contrast colors that show up in snow, designs that work on winter gear, and mascots that look fierce even when everyone’s bundled up. Your eagle should look majestic whether it’s 70 degrees in August or -10 in January.
Can you work within typical Wisconsin school budgets?
We understand Wisconsin’s practical approach to spending. Packages start at $2,500, with payment plans available. Many schools fund through booster clubs, alumni drives, or by increasing merchandise sales. Rural schools often get special pricing because we know your mascot works harder than anyone’s.
