Collegiate Cornhole Game Boards: Drew Shytle



Legit Cornhole was started with a simple premise: give the customer what they want. Drew Shytle's first cornhole board was a commission. A friend wanted to give her husband a special birthday gift. She approached Drew Shytle to see if he could create a cornhole board for her. Drew Shytle was pleased to help her. He was also surprised to see how many other people were interested in having cornhole boards of their own. Legit Cornhole was created to offer customers a high quality, custom product. All the cornhole boards are handmade in Lexington, North Carolina.

Drew Shytle is interested in design. He thought it would add personality to his cornhole boards if they could be custom designed either by the customer or him. That is a service that he still offers. Another idea that made sense to Drew Shytle was using collegiate logos on his cornhole boards. Cornhole is especially popular at tailgating events and it made sense that a market might exist for team oriented boards. Fans are always looking for ways to show support for their favorite team. Drew Shytle approached the organization that handles licensing for collegiate sports. He had an impressive presentation and samples of his work. The board was impressed. Soon Drew Shytle was able to offer National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) logos as a custom option on his boards. Fans really came out in huge numbers to support the business when the licensing came through.

Drew Shytle kept thinking about the success of his collegiate line of cornhole game tables. He started brainstorming to think of other items that might be popular at tailgating events and for NCAA fans in general. Drew Shytle designed a unique folding tailgate table and bar stools. Both products can be designed with an NCAA team logo. The NCAA and Legit Cornhole are a winning combination.
