It all started with the Hornets.
In 2014, the return of the Hornets to Charlotte called for a fresh take on the newly revitalized program. After an exhaustive search for a custom athletic locker that was durable, functional, modern, and beautiful, it became clear that the market lacked an innovative solution capable of setting the Hornets apart from the rest. Shield stepped in with a new patented approach; the first-ever custom athletic locker with a 100% solid surface interior.
Since then, we continue to raise the bar industry-wide, partnering with high profile architects, designers, and product experts as we drive innovative design forward. With a portfolio of clients including multiple professional leagues and all levels of collegiate athletics, Shield delivers only the best. test
