Billy Tees founder prints on afterglow of 2013 Super Bowl
Billy Tees owner Bill Thilken built a California niche in school athletics merchandise since 1993. The San Juan Capistrano shop handles CIF designs printing and marketing with Nike and 49ers projects regularly, and saved waste by reprinting errors such as Illinois badminton and Chattanooga misspellings. The firm also supplied 70,000 towels for a potential celebration after the 49ers 2013 loss.
