How FAR will you GO?

2026 Fargo National Championship Patch


Beginning in the summer of 1971, on the wrestling-rich fields of Iowa, the USA Wrestling Junior National Championships took root—growing into what generations of competitors have come to know as FARGO.

The stage has changed.
The standard has not.


 In 1993, the tournament found a new home at North Dakota state’s Fargo Dome. FARGO has since become the location of wrestlings premier high school tournament and stands as the proving ground for America’s top high school wrestlers.


The FARGO patch marks your place within that legacy—carried by generations before you, and carried forward by those who follow.




Team First presents the 2026 Fargo National Wrestling Championship Patch

A mark of arrival.

Known to all as “FARGO,” this patch reflects the pinnacle of high school Olympic-style wrestling in the United States — where preparation meets pressure and identity is forged through competition.

The octagonal shape is intentional—a direct nod to the iconic All-American award plaques. It represents a moment athletes work years to reach, now carried forward into something that can be worn and kept.



Rendered in high-detail embroidery, each design is executed with precision and balance. Gold edging provides structure and distinction, allowing it to stand with quiet authority whether displayed or worn.


Sized at 5” x 5”, it is built for presence—most notably on the shoulder of a varsity jacket, where it becomes more than decoration.

It becomes a statement.


Created by Team First—the original source of the FARGO championship patch tradition.
