Phil Neel

Oct 12, 1927 – Jul 25, 2012

Phil Neel was the artist and founder of Phil Neel Art Agency, a one-of-a-kind service that has been creating custom sports award drawings for schools, teams, and athletic programs across the United States for decades.

Each drawing is a hand-crafted, full-color commemorative piece that captures the spirit of a team's season — complete with season scores, records, titles won, the names of every player, coach, cheerleader, and supporting personnel, all rendered in the school's official colors with a full-color mascot and an action trophy figure unique to each sport.

Phil's work hangs in thousands of schools across the country and has found a permanent place in hundreds of thousands of homes and offices, where families proudly display the memories of their athletes' greatest seasons.

His drawings have become a beloved tradition at end-of-season banquets and awards nights — a keepsake that no trophy or plaque can match for the richness of detail and personal connection it carries.

Phil worked directly with athletic directors, head coaches, and booster clubs to gather the information needed for each drawing. Orders are typically shipped within three weeks, with rush shipping available for an additional fee.
