Built by wrestlers, for the moments that define them.

Team First exists to design championship patches that carry meaning—created for the moments athletes spend years to earn.

Beginning in 1971, the USA Wrestling Junior National Championships were established—later finding a permanent home in Fargo, North Dakota, where generations of competitors have come to know it simply as FARGO.

That standard—earned, not given—shaped how we see the role of a patch.
Not as decoration, but as a mark of arrival.

Team First was built from that understanding.

From national championships to local programs, Team First designs and builds custom patches that carry the identity of the moment they represent.

Each design is developed with intention—balanced in form, precise in detail, built to endure beyond the event.

We believe the moments that matter are not accidental.
They are prepared for, tested, and earned.

The work is to reflect that truth—clearly, and without excess.

It becomes more than recognition.

It becomes a statement.
