Jason Bagby is expanding his world-wide empire.

The Coupeville High School grad, who has taken his rim-rattling, shriek-inducing hoops game to the college level, where he currently plays for Yakima Valley Community College, is now channeling his inner entrepreneur, as well.

He’s launched his own logo and shirt company, Evergreen Clothing, and is selling custom-designed t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies as fast as he can make them.

Bagby’s unique logo incorporates a giant Evergreen tree, with the roots swirling around a cityscape of Seattle that evokes the former glory of the Sonics, before they were stolen away by Oklahoma robber barons.

You can choose virtually any color and size and then simply wait for the man to deliver the same way he does on a break-away run at the basket.

While the project is still in the beginning stages (“It’s more of a side deal, because I have school basketball and a girlfriend that needs attention”), his design has started showing up more and more, with other former Wolf athletic stars buying his product and then dropping pictures of themselves on-line wearing his gear.

Not bad for something that mainly started because Bagby was feeling a bit of a financial pinch.

“To be honest, the first reason I started this was because I got tired of going to the store and spending $20 on a t-shirt and $40 on a sweatshirt,” Bagby said. “So I got this idea, why not make a logo that’s exactly how I want and the exact color I want and sell them for cheaper than you would see in a store.

“Over the last few months this has started to blow up,” he added. “My next step is to pitch my logo to a few stores that I have on my radar.”

Bagby plans to have a website up soon, but for now you can find out more info and get in contact with Evergreen Clothing at their Facebook page — //www.facebook.com/Evergreenclothingco?ref=stream
