About CI Sport
Founded in 1990 in Fargo, North Dakota, CI Sport began as a start-up screen-print company conceived by entrepreneurs Randy Thorson and Warren Ackley. The pair, who were involved in the hospitality industry, created the business to outfit bars and restaurants with decorated uniforms, apparel, and souvenirs. From that small beginning, the company grew into a nationally recognized supplier of decorated apparel with three operating divisions: CI Apparel, CI Sport, and CI Tourism. Today, CI Sport operates a 73,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in southwest Fargo that houses all decoration production, sales, art creation, digitizing, and inventory under one roof—a rarity in the industry. The company’s core decoration processes are embroidery and screen printing, supported by in-house art and digitizing services. CI Sport serves more than 700 college bookstores across 49 states, manages over 25 e-commerce uniform programs, and operates concept shops and T-shirt towers at collegiate and minor-league venues nationwide. The collegiate division, CI Sport, holds over 300 licenses and supplies college bookstores, arenas, and sporting-goods stores in all 50 states, while also serving as a local license vendor for several NHL and NBA teams and minor-league baseball and hockey fan shops. The corporate division, CI Apparel, provides custom decorated apparel to businesses across virtually every industry, offering access to brands such as Nike, OGIO, and Columbia. The tourism division, CI Tourism, produces custom resort, lake, and cabin apparel with low minimum orders. CI Sport emphasizes its fully integrated in-house operation, low minimum orders (12 pieces for embroidery reorders and tourism, 36 pieces for screen printing), and fast turnaround times as key differentiators. The company was built on the premise of controlling every step from design to delivery to ensure quality and speed for collegiate, corporate, and tourism customers.
