The Story of the FAN BAND
As a successful entrepreneur and business owner, new products often cross my desk, but when the folks at Fan Band contacted me I was particularly intrigued. As a mother, an athlete, and a lifelong Bostonian, raised in Red Sox Nation and filled with Celtic Pride, the concept of the Fan Band immediately had my attention. When I saw it in person, I was even more impressed.
Here’s the story of how the Fan Band came to be…
On a mid-September morning in 2006, Marc Rubin came home hot and sweaty from playing basketball in the Florida sun. He thought he’d go to the store to buy sweatbands, and asked his kids if they wanted to tag along. As he watched his kids play an NBA video game, he had an idea. He asked them if they would wear a sweatband that looked just like a player’s real game jersey. Their response was, “Dad, every kid in the world would!”
At the time, Marc’s brother-in-law made jerseys for the NBA, NFL and MLB. Marc pitched the idea to him, but he didn’t think it would work. So Marc put it on the shelf until 2009, when he had a chance meeting with good friend, Scott Valancy. Scott thought it was a home run idea and was eager to get involved. The product was patented on September 22, 2009, and the long process of product and business development began. Marc got in touch with Jack Smith, legendary founder of Sports Authority, who said that the Fan Band was one of the most exciting new sports items he had personally seen since the Hula-Hoop. We’re thrilled that Jack now serves on our Board of Directors.
Three years later, we at IPC Sports are more excited than ever, as we move into a new phase of product expansion. We currently carry fantastic MLB and NBA Fan Bands with many additional Fan Bands in development. Soon there will be Fan Bands in every sport you can imagine. We even have a few surprises in store for you. We hope you love wearing the Fan Band as much as everyone we know does!
We love to get new ideas and feedback from our customers. Feel free to drop me an e-mail, I’d love to hear from you.
