From Baseball Fan to Entrepreneur: The Inspiring Story of Gina Siebel and KC Swagger

Kansas City Royals Opening Day: A Celebration of Baseball and Entrepreneurship

The start of a new baseball season brings excitement to fans all around the world, including Gina Siebel. For Siebel, the opening day of the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium holds special significance. A huge Royals fan, she credits their 2015 season with inspiring her to start her own T-shirt design business.

Siebel and her husband have always enjoyed watching games, especially during the memorable 2014 World Series run. It was in the spring of 2015 that Siebel designed a T-shirt featuring the word “Swagger” with a “W” designed like the Royals crown logo. The shirt was an instant hit, and Siebel’s business took off from there.

What began in 2015 as a small home-based business has now evolved into a fully established women-owned-and-operated warehouse in Lee’s Summit. KC Swagger now prints merchandise for local schools, club sports, and professional teams, with sizes for all ages. As they prepare for the upcoming baseball season, they are readying to sell new Royals gear in anticipation of another exciting year at Kauffman Stadium.

KC Swagger has also produced successful designs for other teams such as the Chiefs and KC Current using inspiration from various sources such as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Despite their growth and success, KC Swagger remains rooted in their love for the Kansas City Royals and the role they played in Siebel’s entrepreneurial journey. She credits the team with instilling confidence in her to start her business and emphasizes that win or lose, their love for the team will always remain strong. With new additions to the team and exciting prospects on the horizon, Siebel is eager to see where this season will take them while continuing to create unique designs that resonate with their customers.

In conclusion, Gina Siebel’s story is an inspiration to many aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of turning their passion into a thriving business. As we celebrate this new baseball season at Kauffman Stadium, let us remember that it takes courage to pursue your dreams and turn them into reality, no matter what obstacles come your way
