Meet the Team

Del Reid, Founder

Del Reid, Founder

After (quite accidentally) co-founding the #BillsMafia movement among Bills fans on social media in 2011, Del felt moved to do something more than just make jokes on his growing social media platform about the cheating Patriots. After trying out a couple different ideas, in 2013 he landed on the idea of selling shirts to help out fellow fans who found themselves in tough situations... and thus, 26 Shirts was born!

Del's favorite shirt: Unstoppable

Creative Team

Josh Benkelman, Creative Director

Since joining 26 Shirts in 2016, Josh has designed well over 500 different shirts! When he's not creating mind-blowing illustrations, he can usually be found spending time with his beautiful family or defending the goal for his beer league championship hockey team.

Josh's favorite shirt: Not Worthy

Marketing and Promotions Team

Andrew Baglini, Marketing Specialist

Andrew moved to Buffalo in 2014 and for seven years worked in local news as a meteorologist. Not being from Buffalo, he was and still is amazed at how welcomed he felt, and how quickly this became home. He has always wanted to repay that kindness and earn his spot in the City of Good Neighbors, so the chance to give back to the community through work at 26 Shirts was the perfect opportunity. While he is in a marketing role now, you can still ask him about the weather!

Andrews's favorite shirt: Symbiote

Patrick McCracken, Operations Director

As a life-long Buffalonian, Patrick is a die-hard Buffalo sports fan who often spends time daydreaming about a Bills Super Bowl win. After spending 10+ years in the marketing/advertising industry, he is excited to lead the Merchandising & Operations efforts at such a beloved, community-oriented company. When he's not working, Patrick can be found collecting chicken eggs and corralling goats on his homestead with his wife and 2 children.
