I am a sports product designer. Began my business because I saw that products for the Fans of sports ... transcended ALL sports. You can find, apparel, mugs, key chains, bobble heads, rally towels, thunder sticks, foam fingers, etc. in every sport. The only thing that personalizes them is the sport logo. Even "Baseball" caps - are worn at Soccer, Hockey, Football - well, all sporting events. I set out to "Change the Face of Sports for Fans". I have designed over 300 sports specific memorabilia items for the fans. Each product is easily identifiable to the respective sport, as I incorporate major elements of the game into the design. Furthermore, they are all tactile, interactive, fun and affordable. The UFC interests me, (though I am just learning about it). It is growing rapidly. The fans in the audience do not seem to have anything to cheer their fighter on. The website team stores carry the same merchandise that most sports carry. I have joined the SB nation to find out what kinds of things FANS would like to see. Like my designs for other sports, (baseball, hockey, football, soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, racing) ... it is important to understand the fans. Since my intention is to create items the FANS want, I would welcome any input from SB Nation readers. So far, I have designed a couple of dozen unique "fighter" items. Whether they are items that Martial Arts fans might be interested in, is yet to be seen. The more input I receive, the better I will be able to design products that the fan might wish to own. And, I appreciate any advice or input you are willing to share on all sports.
