Our Story
Land of Kings Apparel
Land of Kings Apparel was created by and for the brothers of the Nu Sigma Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., seated at Stanford University. Our chapter's moniker, "Land of Kings," is more than just a slogan or t-shirt. It represents decades of excellence both during and after our academic careers at Stanford, and a brotherhood that lasts for the rest of our lives.
After graduating from chapter members to a chapter alumni, there weren't too many ways for brothers to express their love for the Nu Sigma chapter. Land of Kings Apparel was designed to change that, developing into a luxury streetwear brand focused on and dedicated to our brothers.

Pseudo-Paraphernalia
For Stanford Alphas.
It's important to understand that Land of Kings Apparel is not official Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. merchandise. We consider our apparel "pseudo-paraphernalia"—made to be worn alongside, but not as a replacement for, officially licensed fraternity gear. For the lawyers in our chapter: we strictly adhere to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.'s branding guidelines and respect their trademark rights.
We make clothing for the Land of Kings. It doesn't have to be an convention or probate for you to represent and recognize a group of individuals you made a difference with.

The motivation
Its all about the brotherhood.
Land of Kings Apparel is a passion project built entirely by Nu Sigma brothers in their free time. From apparel design to website development, every aspect of this brand is a testament to the creativity, resourcefulness, and dedication of our chapter. When we needed gear tailored to our own style, we designed it. When we needed a platform to share it, we built a website from scratch. Even our apparel mockups were crafted using 3D design software on personal laptops—because problem-solving is what we do.
How it works
Trust the process.
Designs are crafted in-house, taking inspiration from pop culture, popular brands, and shared experiences. We didn't want to cut any corners with quality, which is why we decided to use the Australian based manufacturer AS Colour to source our blanks.
Land of Kings Apparel employs a print-on-demand production model, utilizing our partner, Apliiq, to handle on-demand product development and delivery, ensuring your order gets created and shipped directly to your door.
Our only problem is with returns. Since each item is made-to-order, theres no place to store returned items, nor is there a way for us to process exchanges. That being said, you can sleep well knowing all proceeds go directly to the chapter, helping reimburse brothers for event related expenses, pay for fraternity fees and conventions, and fund scholarships for high school students in need.

The team
Leadership.
For a moment narcissistic self-props, let's take a moment to recognize Devin Green, an alumni of the Nu Sigma Chapter (c/o '24). Land of Kings Apparel was developed from the ground-up by Devin, who poured countless hours into designing all the apparel, building this website from scratch, and working with our supplier to ensure a smooth and efficient process. His dedication is the driving force behind Land of Kings Apparel.
We value the input and creativity of our brothers. If you have ideas for future designs or feedback on current apparel, we'd love to hear from you! Reach out to Devin, our creative director at aphia.nusigma@gmail.com.
