KSHSAA Announces Multi-Year Partnership with Northwest Designs

Posted Aug 25, 2026 2:00 PM

The Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) is pleased to announce a multi-year partnership with Northwest Designs as the Official Merchandise Provider of KSHSAA State Championships.

Through this partnership, Northwest Designs will provide student-athletes, participants, families and fans with an expanded selection of official KSHSAA championship apparel. Merchandise will be available onsite at championship events, with garments printed and personalized on demand.

This on-demand experience will give customers the opportunity to select their preferred garment, design and activity while helping ensure that merchandise remains available throughout each championship. Northwest Designs will also introduce its exclusive NWD Dri-Fit product line and additional apparel created specifically to celebrate KSHSAA activities and the achievements of Kansas students.

Official KSHSAA State Championship merchandise will also be available online before and after events, allowing participants and supporters across Kansas to commemorate the championship experience—even if they are unable to purchase onsite.

“Our state championships represent the culmination of tremendous preparation, commitment and teamwork by students, coaches, sponsors, schools and communities across Kansas,” said Bill Faflick, Executive Director of KSHSAA. “We are excited to partner with Northwest Designs and believe its experience, product selection and on-demand capabilities will provide our participants and fans with a high-quality merchandise experience worthy of these special events.”

“Kansas has an incredible tradition of supporting education-based athletics and activities, and we are honored to become part of that tradition,” said Victor Sviridyuk, Director of Sales and Business Development for Northwest Designs. “Reaching a KSHSAA State Championship is an accomplishment that deserves to be celebrated. Our goal is to create an engaging merchandise experience and offer products that students, families and fans will be proud to wear long after the championship has concluded. We look forward to working alongside the KSHSAA staff and serving communities throughout the state.”

The partnership brings together two organizations committed to recognizing achievement, supporting students and creating memorable championship experiences. Northwest Designs’ more than 40 years of event-merchandising experience will complement KSHSAA’s longstanding commitment to education-based interscholastic athletics and activities.
