Supreme Licenses FDNY, NYPD and Sanitation Logos for Apparel Through 2028

Supreme has signed a multi-year, non-exclusive licensing agreement with New York City to use municipal trademarks on apparel and accessories, with a $22,000 guaranteed minimum royalty and a 6% royalty on net retail sales. stupidDOPE reported the terms from the city's Franchise and Concession Review Committee documents.

Inside Supreme's New York City License

The contract runs from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, and New York City holds an option to extend it two more years, through December 31, 2030. The parties are Chapter 4 Corp., doing business as Supreme, and the New York City Department of Small Business Services, working with NYC Tourism + Conventions.

The license covers marks tied to the New York City Police Department, the Fire Department of New York, the Department of Sanitation and the city's "Made in NY" identity, along with imagery tied to transportation, parks, police units and street signage. Individual products and designs still require approval, and the city can license the same marks to other companies.

The $22,000 is a guaranteed minimum credited against royalty obligations, payable by December 31, 2028, and the 6% is calculated on net retail sales rather than profits. The city retains reporting and auditing rights. Supreme's Fall/Winter 2026 collection already includes a Department of Sanitation zip-up hoodie reported at $188 and an FDNY baseball cap reported at $58, both offered through Supreme's retail channels.

Supreme's Deal Terms in Company Records

According to akta.pro company records, EssilorLuxottica acquired Supreme from VF Corporation for $1.5 billion in 2024, after VF had bought the brand for $2.1 billion in November 2020. The same records list a 2017 private equity round of $500 million led by The Carlyle Group and a 2014 private equity round led by Goode Partners.
