NINEOH7 is a creative consulting firm that offers graphic design, photography, social media marketing, and custom clothing design. NINEOH7’s merchandise is made right here in the US, and we support small businesses along the way as much as we can! Our CEO, Rob Tate, designs all of our apparel and accessories highlighting HBCUs and public figures in the Black community.

Founded in 2016, we have continued to grow. We are officially licensed vendors for: Howard University, Morehouse College, Hampton University, and Clark Atlanta University, North Carolina Central University, Morgan State University with more schools to come.

Why HBCUs?

Our founder, Rob, is a proud alumnus of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. He started this business by launching his own NCAT t-shirt and sweatshirt collection. Over the years, he’s pivoted a few times, but realized that the market for high-quality HBCU apparel and accessories was where he should focus. Launching a woven blanket collection in 2021, NINEOH7 saw immense success and has made that our principal product to sell throughout the year. We also partner with artists like DorianTroyStudios on our illustrated designs that highlight Black art and Black films.
