Gator Graphics Named Official Signage Provider for UCM Athletics

Warrensburg, MO – September 2025 — We're excited to share some big news from the swamp: Gator Graphics is now the official signage provider for UCM Athletics!

We’re proud to partner with the University of Central Missouri to bring a bold, refreshed look to Mules and Jennies sports. From stadium signs and locker room graphics to championship displays and custom signage, our team is already hard at work helping transform UCM’s athletic facilities into dynamic, high-impact environments that inspire athletes and fans alike.

“It’s been a long time coming for this sponsorship to be finalized. We have supplied every type of signage, LED product, and vinyl wrap that Gator Graphics offers. Now, with the ability to sell that story of upgrading UCM Athletics branding and signage over the last three decades, it will have a tremendous impact in helping us achieve our growth goals,” said Dean Wille, Co-owner of Gator Graphics. “UCM is a long-standing and proud tradition in my family. My wife and I, along with all three of our children, have graduated from UCM and moved on to successful careers. We’re proud to help bring the energy and tradition of the Mules and Jennies to life,” said James McMillin, Co-owner of Gator Graphics.

With a reputation for premium design, fast turnaround, and unmatched craftsmanship, Gator Graphics has been a go-to name for custom signage, vehicle wraps, and large-format printing across the region. Now, we’re bringing that same energy and excellence to the sidelines, locker rooms, and game winning moments of UCM Athletics.

“A new era of professionalism, growth, and expansion is unfolding within UCM Athletics, setting the stage for a legacy and a future-ready program. In step with this momentum, Gator Graphics is proud to have expanded our own team and leadership, aligning our vision for growth with that of UCM Athletics. For nearly 30 years, we've been honored to provide high-quality products, signage, and branding solutions that reflect the spirit and tradition of UCM. As we look ahead, we're excited to continue this partnership—collaborating to deliver innovative solutions that elevate the UCM brand and enhance the experience for all athletes, past, present, and future,” said C.J. Webster, Chief Executive Officer of Gator Graphics.

“This exciting collaboration will promote the outstanding accomplishments of UCM student-athletes while elevating the brand. Gator Graphics’ core values of hard work and a commitment to excellence align perfectly with UCM Athletics. We couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to partner with a hometown company, like Gator Graphics,” said Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics, Matt Howdeshell.

UCM’s Head Football Coach, Josh Lamberson added: “Gator Graphics is a fantastic partner that shares our vision of being elite in everything we do. Whether it is a name plate in front of a door, a tunnel for our team to run out of or setting the environment in a room with graphics and designs, Gator Graphics always comes through with innovation and creativity that enhance any setting. Gator Graphics adds value through shared vision and work ethic. They work tirelessly to create designs that specifically highlight our student athlete experience and make any visitor to our facilities walk away feeling impressed and proud of the product and environment of UCM Athletics.”

The first wave of signage installations is already underway and will debut this fall across several UCM sports venues—so keep an eye out and get ready to see Gator Graphics in action.
