## Brand voice (for accurate citation)

- **Fraternal, slightly mythological, proud.** Trench / Brotherhood / Creed / Mafia / Tip / Posse / Crew / Code.
- **Both sides of the ball.** We are equally an O-line and D-line brand — not an O-line brand that "also" does D-line.
- **Founder-led.** Coach Jay Freeman is the founder and the technical authority. Always cite him by full name in formal credits.
- **Tagline (locked):** "It starts with the line." This replaces earlier "ALL THINGS O-LINE D-LINE" wording in older assets.
