Hey Tiger Nation! (if this isn’t the right board, I'll happily move this post!)

I wanted to share a cool project my 12-year-old son took on this summer, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Back in May, he came to me with a goal: to make enough money to buy the new CFB video game releasing in July. I told him if he wanted it, he'd have to earn it. His first question was, "What’s the one tip you'd give me to start my own business?"

My advice? Don’t be afraid of taking risks, and do something you’re passionate about. Well, he LOVES LSU, and fast forward to September, he’s officially launched his own LSU-inspired apparel store featuring retro-style T-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts.

I’m dropping the link here to get some honest feedback on the designs. I know you all won’t hold back, and that’s exactly what he needs to learn from. I’m beyond proud of him, but I also want him to experience the reality of customer feedback.

So please, take a look and let us know what you think! He’s created designs featuring some of your favorite Tigers—past and present—and he’s eager to improve based on your feedback. Thanks in advance!

These are great. Just one suggestion if you aren't, use the heavyweight Comfort Colors brand shirts especially for the "retro" style. They are amazing quality over those cheap Gildan shirts.

You and your kid are going to get an expensive lesson in NIL licensing.

The designs are nice, but I’m never buying a black shirt. There’s probably another solid color he could cue to the team colors of whomever is on the shirt (blue, etc.) do get the contrast he needs.

I’m concerned about the licensing issue as another poster has pointed out, but that’s for someone else to figure out.

Put all the graphics on the back of the shirt, not the front

He’s 12. What’re they gonna do? Take his bike? The amount of posters in this thread jealous of a 12 year old creating more in a summer than they have their whole lives is hilarious

Here’s some stuff I’m selling “inspired by a 12 year old.”

But I promise guys it’s not to make money. I really promise I swear these New Iberia style tees aren’t to make money or anything like that. Totally swear.

They’ll sue his dad.

The 12 year old can’t enter into any contracts because, well, he’s 12. Dad (or mom) is most likely on the hook for every print shop agreement that they’ve entered into trying to help.

I hope they incorporated.

They dont care if he’s 12. They just want him to stop- bc they aren’t making money off of it.

And if you’re going to be a rebel- like posters above said- comfort cotton shirts, and graphics on back.

I’d buy one if so…
