Triumph Wrestling Club × Compound Sportswear

The five things you raised, and what we're changing.

Nothing below is a general improvement. Each one is written into the agreement as a term, with an owner and a window attached to it.

What you told us

What the agreement says

Fundraiser checks came late.

Your check goes out within 15 business days of a store closing, with a sales report showing units, revenue and the share calculation behind it. That window is a term of the agreement, not a target — the same team that manages your dates manages the payout.

Minimums were frustrating.

Generous minimums, set per order type — sized against what one room actually buys, not a full-club buy. And filler orders stay flexible: once a design has run, adding to it doesn't restart a setup or a fresh full minimum.

Camp gear didn't leave enough margin.

Camp moves to a dedicated camp tier — a locked per-shirt cost held for the season, quantity confirmed against registration ten days out, and no overbuy to clear a minimum. You set the camp retail price and keep the spread.

The gear runs a little pricey.

Every category gets three price bands, and the wholesale line gives you a Triumph-priced option on the rack at the club. Volume across five stores and three rooms is what moves pricing — this agreement is what gets you there.

Ordering has to run through corporate Triumph.

One account, one approval chain. Locations, coaches and families all buy off Triumph-approved stores. Nobody opens a store, adds a design or places a bulk order without corporate signing off first.

One account. Every location. Ordered from the top.

Three rooms today, five soon. The point of a single account is that adding the fourth and fifth costs you a phone call, not a new relationship.

Corporate approval~~Nothing runs without it~~

Every store, every design, every bulk order routes through corporate Triumph for approval before it goes live. Locations request; corporate approves; we build.

One chain~~Top down~~

One brand across every room~~Ocean · West · South~~

The same art library, the same colors, the same size runs. A Triumph West singlet and a Triumph South singlet are the same singlet with a different room on it.

Shared library~~Every location~~

New locations plug in~~Two on the horizon~~

A new room joins the existing account and the next store on the calendar — no new onboarding, no new art build, no separate agreement.

Same account~~No setup~~

Exclusive to Compound~~Term of the agreement~~

Triumph club gear is produced by Compound across all locations for the length of the term. In return you get the share of sales, the wholesale line, the camp tier and the payout window — all of which are priced off that exclusivity.

Year to year~~Renewing~~

How packages arrive

A dedicated fulfillment department handles every order. They work directly with production to hit deadlines and get every package out correctly and on time, and every customer gets tracking the moment their order ships. Store orders are sorted, bagged and shipped individually to each family, or in one shipment to a location contact when Triumph would rather hand them out.

Five stores a year, on dates you already run.

These are your seasons, not ours. Each store opens on a locked date, closes on a locked date, and the check follows within 15 business days. Extending a store restarts the production clock from the new close, so the dates get set once and held.

Fall

Opens late September

The season launch and the biggest store of the year — new club identity, the competition singlet, practice gear and the first location tees. Everything the room wears from October on comes out of this one.

Holiday

Opens early November

Fleece and cold-weather layers, timed so orders land before the break. Fleece carries more revenue than any other category on a wrestling store, every single year.

Freestyle

Opens March

A different look for a different season — freestyle and Greco singlets, warm-ups, and gear for the kids traveling. Priced for the smaller group that actually competes.

NHSCA duals

Opens spring

10–11 teams going means 10–11 rosters, families and fans in one building. Event gear with the year and the field on it, closed early enough to be in hand before the bus leaves.

Summer

Opens around Labor Day weekend

Camp and off-season gear, running off the camp tier. Tees, shorts and the lightweight pieces kids actually wear in July.

The core line never comes down

Between stores, a small always-on Triumph store stays live for the club staples — tees, shorts, the singlet, bags. New families joining in December don't wait until March to buy anything.

Special-event drops

A tournament run, a state placer, a national qualifier, a new room opening. Proof back in 48 hours and live within 24 hours of your approval, with no store to open and close around it.

Four lines under one brand.

The club store is the base. These are the three programs that come off it, each one built for a group that buys differently.

The girls' line~~Its own look, not a resize~~

Designed for the girls' program, not scaled down from the boys' art — its own colorways, its own graphics, its own cuts. Every wrestling piece we make comes in a women's and true youth cut with the spec on the page.

Own art~~Own colorways~~

Coaches' program~~30+ across the rooms~~

A sideline kit for the staff — polos, quarter-zips, jackets, bags — ordered once a year off the account and priced as a coaching-staff buy. The people on the corner of the mat are the most-photographed people in the building.

Annual buy~~Staff pricing~~

Wholesale at the club~~Buy, stock and resell~~

A core assortment Triumph buys in bulk at wholesale, stocks on the rack, sets its own retail on and keeps the spread — so there is gear to sell the night a family walks in, with no store open. The assortment, order cadence and reorder terms are drawn up here.

Buy & resell~~You set retail~~

Wrestling Dept~~Open, worth scoping~~

You raised a separate Wrestling Dept play. Compound will scope it as its own line under the same agreement rather than bolt it onto the club store — different buyer, different pricing, same production floor.

To scope~~Under the term~~

Built off real sell-through

Across 194 wrestling stores we've run, five categories show up in more than half of them — singlets, tees, shorts, performance hooded shirts and crew fleece. Those five anchor every Triumph store and the wholesale assortment.

Personalization

Names on singlets, weight class on jackets, class year on warm-ups — available on every fully sublimated product for a small upcharge, added and priced at the store. It's printed into the garment, not heat-pressed on afterward, so it doesn't peel.

Production turn times.

Measured from approved art. Bulk ships from each production house as pieces are completed; an online store is held until every order is complete, then sorted and shipped.

Bulk orders

Items ship from their production house as they are completed, so a bulk order can arrive in more than one shipment.

Online stores

Every order is held until all production is complete, then sorted, bagged and shipped — individually to each family, or in one shipment to a location contact. The extra 5–7 days covers that sorting and shipping.

Setting a date

Work backwards from the date gear has to be in hand, not forward from the store close. We set the open and close on that math, and hold them.

Art proofs~~New designs and revisions~~

The agreement, in plain terms.

One year, renewing year to year. These are the points to sign off on before art starts.

Share of sales~~To agree together~~

Triumph earns a share of net sales across every Triumph store. We want to land on a generous number that makes sense for both sides — one that reflects the volume Triumph drives across five stores and three rooms, and that still holds up as the fourth and fifth locations come online.

Payout window~~Written in~~

Check and sales report issued within 15 business days of each store closing. Reports show units, revenue and the share calculation.

Exclusivity~~Both directions of the account~~

Triumph club gear is produced exclusively by Compound across every location for the term, and every order routes through corporate Triumph. Triumph's designs and marks stay Triumph's — nothing built for you appears on another club's gear.

Wholesale line~~Buy, stock and resell~~

A defined core assortment Triumph buys in bulk, stocks at the club and resells at a retail price Triumph sets. The assortment, order cadence and reorder terms are agreed here.

Camp pricing~~Its own tier~~

A locked per-shirt camp cost held for the season, quantity confirmed against registration ten days out, and no overbuy to clear a minimum. Triumph sets camp retail and keeps the spread — camp stops being the place the margin disappears.

Minimums~~Generous, per order type~~

Minimums are set per order type and kept generous — sized against what a single room actually buys rather than the whole club. Filler orders on approved art stay flexible: a re-run adds to a design that has already run, without a new setup or a fresh full minimum.

Term~~One year, renewing~~

Twelve months from signature, renewing year to year. Rates, share and the store calendar are reviewed together at each renewal.

Thirty days from this call to a live fall store.

Two halves: terms and art in the first two weeks, store build and launch in the second two. Labor Day, Monday September 7, is built into the schedule rather than discovered on the way.

We already understand your brand.

We've built for Triumph before — these came out of our files. That history is the point: the work doesn't start at a blank page, it starts at a brand we already know how to draw. And the job every year is to elevate it — especially now, with the kind of growth Triumph is putting up across the rooms.

Your brand, held to your standards.

Triumph's mark has been the same since 2008. Our job is to reproduce it exactly, on every piece, in every process, across every room.

Dedicated in-house designers~~Decades of industry experience~~

High-level designers who do teamwear all day, every day, for thousands of teams a year. Your account stays with the same designer from first concept through production files.

Your colors, held to your standard~~Across every process~~

Your brand colors are matched to your brand standards on every product — sublimation, screen print, DTF and embroidery — so a hoodie ordered in November matches a singlet ordered in September.

Proofs before production~~Nothing runs unapproved~~

Every proof carries exact dimensions, placement and color callouts. Nothing goes into production until corporate has approved it.

Sizing kits~~Available to Triumph~~

Every wrestling piece comes in men's, women's and true youth cuts. We keep sizing kits covering every size in both cuts, and we'll make them available to your rooms so athletes try on before anyone orders. That isn't something we extend to every club.

Every Triumph room.
One gear program.
