After years without an apparel sponsor (none since 2017), elite rankings, world No. 1 doubles champion, then world No.2 doubles champion, Taylor Townsend launched her own TT brand, worn with striking purpose at the 2025 U.S. Open.

Her themed outfits told a story: orcas for mixed doubles (inspired by Samuel L. Jackson), a T‑rex for her young son, and a phoenix for personal rebirth.

By 2026, TT stood alongside Nike and Lululemon on tour, with a creative director she hired and Grand Slam wins in clothes she designed herself. She cites Venus Williams and Serena Williams as style influences.

For her, if a sponsor won't bet on you, you bet on yourself. - Africa Giant
