Merkies Apparel was established in 2015 as a brand new category of apparel, OYL (Own Your Life) Apparel. Merkies represents the ones who want to own their lives, the ones who are tired of the norm, the ones who want to create their own legacy. New apparel brands are popping up all over the place and we aren't cool with being one of many and neither should you. Join us and be apart of a new exclusive category and wave where we want to help you own your life.
"Every time I wear Merkies gear I am making a statement. I am telling the world that I own my life and I am going to do everything in my power to keep it that way. I am telling the world that I love what I do and that I wouldn't have it any other way. To me, Merkies Apparel is more than just a brand. It's a lifestyle, a movement, a wave..."
- Devyn Merklin (CEO)
"Merkies is an outlet for me to be creative and who I really am without a filter. Merkies Apparel is more than a design on a t-shirt. It's a movement full of outliers. As the late Steve Jobs once said; "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes"
- Michael Youngblood (CMO/Director of Athletics)
"Merkies is about being the absolute best version of myself that I can be. Whether that's in the gym or in business I have to own it. Thats what Merkies is for me and every time I put it on, it's a simple reminder of who I want to be."
- Austin Pisacane (CFO/Director of Fitness)
