As the founder and CEO of JerseyEmbroidered.com, my journey began with a simple yet profound love for American sports. Growing up, I was captivated by the energy of NBA games, the tradition of MLB, the intensity of NFL Sundays, and the lightning-fast action of NHL matches. These weren’t just games to me – they represented something larger: a culture, a community, and a way of connecting with others who shared my passion.

My name is Tom Brad, and I established JerseyEmbroidered.com in 2018 after recognizing a gap in the market for high-quality, authentic-feeling sports apparel. While traveling across America’s great sporting cities – from Boston to Los Angeles, Chicago to Miami – I noticed how jerseys weren’t just clothing items; they were badges of honor, symbols of allegiance that fans wore with immense pride. What struck me most was how the finest jerseys, the ones that stood the test of time, featured meticulous embroidery rather than printed graphics.

The decision to focus exclusively on embroidered jerseys stems from my unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Unlike 3D-printed jerseys that often fade, crack, or peel after several washes, embroidered jerseys maintain their integrity and actually improve with age, developing character much like the relationship between a fan and their team. There’s something special about running your fingers across the raised texture of an embroidered logo or player number – it’s tangible, it’s real, and it connects you physically to the team you support.

American sports culture is built on tradition, history, and authenticity. When a fan puts on a jersey, they’re not just wearing team colors – they’re wearing decades of victories, heartbreaks, comebacks, and championships. My mission through JerseyEmbroidered.com is to honor this sacred connection through products that are worthy of the emotions they represent. Every stitch in our jerseys tells a story, just as every game adds to the rich narrative of American sports.

My personal collection of over 200 jerseys from different eras inspired me to create this business. I’ve experienced firsthand how a well-crafted embroidered jersey can last for generations, becoming heirlooms passed down from parent to child. This sustainability aspect also drove my business model – in our throwaway culture, I wanted to offer products designed to last, products that would accompany fans through countless seasons of hope and devotion.

The technical superiority of embroidery also cannot be overstated. The depth and dimension it brings to team logos and numbers creates a premium aesthetic that simply can’t be replicated with printing technologies. While it’s a more labor-intensive and costly production process, the results speak for themselves. Our customers often tell us how strangers stop them to compliment and ask about their jerseys – that’s the difference quality makes.

At JerseyEmbroidered.com, we don’t just sell sports apparel; we cultivate a community of discerning fans who understand that how you support your team matters. Our online store has grown from my personal passion project into a destination for fans who refuse to compromise on quality, who see their jersey purchases as investments in their fandom rather than disposable merchandise.

I believe that the greatest compliment we receive isn’t just repeat business, but when customers send us photos wearing our jerseys at games, creating memories that will last a lifetime. That connection – between craftsmanship, fandom, and life’s precious moments – is what drives me every day as I continue to expand our collection while maintaining the exacting standards that set us apart.

Whether you’re a diehard NBA enthusiast, an MLB traditionalist, an NFL superfan, or an NHL devotee, JerseyEmbroidered.com was created by a fan, for fans. And I, Tom Brad, am proud to stand behind every single jersey that bears our name.
