JAMMER
Where Are They Now
The Founder
Ross Scott, West Linn, Oregon native. D1 lacrosse at Rutgers (USA Lacrosse Player of the Week, USILA Team of the Week). Drafted 20th overall by the Carolina Chaos in the PLL. Sports Management degree. Started making custom hats for teammates in his dorm room, now building a full custom apparel brand out of Portland.
The Business
Jammer runs a dual model: B2B custom team merchandise (wholesale orders, Shopify-powered team stores, direct shipping) and a small DTC shop with 2 products listed. Revenue is currently relationship-driven, with Ross landing team orders through his lacrosse network. Products include custom hats, tees, hoodies, jackets, and event merch. Designed in Portland, manufactured in China, 100% polyester. Tagline: "Made to Move."
Current Signals
Where It's Headed
The trajectory points toward a lacrosse-first lifestyle brand built on athlete credibility and custom team relationships. Ross has the network: PLL locker rooms, college programs, youth tournament circuits. The visual identity is strong. Product-market fit exists (teams are ordering). What's missing is every piece of marketing infrastructure: analytics, email, content, social, and paid media. That's the gap. That's where COA comes in.
The lacrosse custom apparel space has no dominant digital-first brand. Legacy players are invisible online. Funded players are tech platforms, not brands. The "culture-forward, athlete-founded, digitally native" position is wide open.
The Sequencing Matters
Right now the product stack is very early: 2 public SKUs and a custom order pipeline. That's actually an advantage. It means Jammer can zero in on what they're targeting before scaling inventory. Pick the hero products, nail the positioning, and build the catalog with intention instead of guessing.
The play is straightforward. Get the inventory dialed first. Know exactly what you're selling, to whom, and at what margin. Once the product foundation is set, we turn up the socials and start capturing demand. Pushing content before the store is ready to convert just burns attention. The order matters: product, then presence, then promotion.
An early product stack is a feature, not a bug. It's easier to build a focused brand around 5 great products than to retrofit identity onto 50. Lock in the catalog, then flip the switch on content and start driving real traffic to a store that's ready for it.

Founder-Led Content
Ross is a PLL player. That's content gold. BTS at Chaos practices, designing gear on the road, packaging orders between games. Athlete + entrepreneur is inherently compelling.
Product Drop Content
Treat every custom team order like a product launch. Tease design process, reveal final product, show the team's reaction. Each team = a micro-campaign.
Event Presence
Jammer already sponsors events like Cascade Summer Shootout. Film everything. Pop-up booth content, player reactions, merch in the wild.
Community UGC Engine
Every team that orders custom gear should be tagging @jammergoods. Feature their content. Build the flywheel where customers become creators.
Why Jammer Is a One of One
The dominant lacrosse lifestyle brand. Founded by D1 All-Americans, Adrenaline runs national events, partners with Gatorade and Yeti, and serves as official apparel provider for top NCAA programs. They're the biggest name in the space, but they're a legacy brand built for scale, not authenticity. They can't be founder-led. They can't be nimble. They can't be personal.
The closest direct comp. Blatant's team store model (branded storefronts, direct-to-player shipping) mirrors Jammer's. Founded in 2011 selling tees at tournaments. 100% dye-sublimated uniforms, 4-5 week production. They're East Coast rooted and functional, not fashion-forward. Their design language is utility, not culture.
The venture-backed gorilla. SquadLocker automates store creation, design, production, fulfillment from a wholly-owned facility. $19.8M revenue. They're tech-first and sport-agnostic. A platform, not a brand.
The incumbent. 20+ years in business, in-house US manufacturing in Coral Springs, FL. Supplied apparel for the U.S. Women's U20 Team. Their moat is longevity and domestic production, but they're invisible online. No modern social presence. No brand energy. No story.
A catalog operation carrying Nike, Under Armour, Champion alongside their own line. Multi-sport (lacrosse, hockey, basketball, baseball). They're a reseller, not a creator. When teams want something unique that feels like theirs, not a Nike template, they go somewhere else.
The most comparable origin story. Founded by John Christmas (UVA lacrosse, turned pro). Combines apparel with international lacrosse immersion trips. Mission: "Share lacrosse with the world." Encore went international + events; Jammer went custom merch + team stores.
A current PLL professional athlete as founder. Fashion-forward design sensibility rooted in Pacific Northwest culture. A scalable team store model that serves B2B and DTC simultaneously. And zero legacy baggage: no outdated systems, no stale brand, no conflicting vendor relationships. Adrenaline is too big. Blatant is too functional. SquadLocker is a platform. Lacrossewear is invisible. Elevation is a reseller. Encore went international. Nobody is building what Jammer is building, the way Jammer is building it. The lane doesn't just exist. It's empty. COA's job is to make sure Jammer claims it first.
