About

Since 1948, the Williams Sideline Quarterback Club has stood behind Williams College Football. We're an alumni-led organization built on a simple belief: that the bond formed on this sideline doesn't end at graduation. It carries on through every fall Saturday, every reunion, every phone call between teammates decades after the cleats came off.

We exist to support the program, the players, and the people who love it. That means showing up for current Ephs, staying connected to alumni, welcoming new families into the fold, and keeping the traditions of Williams Football alive for the next generation of Purple Cows.

The "Gear" Store

This store is an extension of that mission.

Every piece you'll find here was designed for the WSQC community — current players, students, alumni, parents, and fans who want to wear their pride on a Saturday or any other day of the week. We built three collections to reflect the full range of Eph Nation:

•         DA EPHS Gameday - bold, modern gear for current players, students, and the ones who like a little edge to their fandom.

•         QB Club Alumni & Friends - classic heritage pieces built around the WSQC crest, made for alumni and families.

•         dEPHiant - a little attitude, a lot of Ephs pride. Mascot-driven gear for everyone who loves the program.

Every order helps support the WSQC mission: building community, supporting current players, and growing Eph Nation.

From the Sideline

I played football for Coach O'Dell and Coach Farley, with Renzie Lamb as my position coach. Renzie was also my head coach in lacrosse, where Dick Nesbitt — the longtime admissions director — was our assistant. I was fortunate to play for legends, and for the cast of thousands who supported these programs along the way.

After my playing days, I came back to Williamstown in 2000 to raise a family, and we've been part of this community ever since. You could say I'm a townie now. One who bleeds purple and gold.

We launched this store because the WSQC community kept asking for it. You wanted gear that felt different from the standard bookstore stuff. Gear designed by people who actually care about this program. Gear that says something about who we are.

That's what this is. I hope you find something you love.

Win or lose, we're all in.
