SHIELD LOCKERS CREATES CUSTOM LOCKER FOR DEION "COACH PRIME" SANDERS

Kansas City, KS — October 25, 2024 — 

Coach Prime and The University of Colorado collaborated with leading locker manufacturer, Shield Lockers, to design a custom locker specifically for his office, which was installed earlier in the week. 

“Coach Prime is the biggest name in college athletics, so of course we jumped at the chance to work with him.” says Stephen Hopkins, founder and Chief Design Officer at Shield Lockers. “We designed a custom locker that is a great reflection of him and his impact on the University of Colorado football program.”

Shield worked collaboratively with the Buffaloes to deliver a truly unique locker for Coach Prime and Head of Equipment Michael “Smitty” Smith. Features include integrated power and lighting, inductive charging, backlit signature and quote panel, bench with custom stitched cushions and soft-close lower drawer, chaise lounge, direct-print logos, and a wardrobe cabinet with felt-lined jewelry display drawer and backlit shoe cubbies.

This is the fourth collaboration between Shield Lockers and The University of Colorado. Previously Shield manufactured lockers for volleyball, men’s basketball, and women’s soccer.
