Brand story
Proud and Broke™ is a Minnesota-based, print-on-demand apparel brand inspired by the cost and joy of supporting sports and expensive hobbies. It began with a family whose son plays a massive amount of baseball. The shirts turn a familiar tension into a shared joke: we are proud of the people doing what they love, and impressed by how quickly the receipts add up.
Founder background
Proud and Broke™ was founded by a Minnesota sports parent whose family balances practices, tournaments, travel, and the spending that goes with supporting a child. A personal founder name and founding year are not currently published, so editorial references should identify the founder as a Minnesota sports parent unless the brand supplies additional information.
