UCKup Sports Apparel Attending Shark Tank Casting Call

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - June 23, 2015 - PRLog -- UCKup™ (U Can’t Keep Up™) Sports Apparel will be attending the July 7th Los Angeles Shark Tank Casting Call at the Glendale Galleria the company has announced.

UCKup™ Sports Apparel (U.S.A.) will be specifically targeting Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks as we feel we fill a huge void in the sports apparel marketplace by enabling fans to Root FOR their team and Root AGAINST their opponents at the SAME time.

According to the New York Post, Rooting Against Rivals is the #1 Fan Rule yet there’s no supply to fill the demand, opening up a tremendously huge marketplace to enthusiastically penetrate.

“We feel Mr. Cuban is a potentially ideal candidate as a investor/ business partner,” said John Frank, Founder of UCKup Sports Apparel.  “Our tongue-in-cheek proprietary design empowers fans to tell opponents: U Can’t Keep Up™ and our intensive marketing research has concluded our product would be in high demand.  The fact that Mark Cuban can pick up a telephone and procure NBA Licensing within 24 hours is a valuable commodity to us, one we are prepared to leverage with a significant equity stake in the company.”

“Mr. Cuban is on the record having stated numerous times that he hopes opponents of the Mavericks "suck" and for that reason, among others, feel he would find our design both palpable and applaudable”, Frank continued.

Rather than blatantly stating that Opponents Suck, UCKup Sports Apparel utilizes it’s U Can’t Keep Up™ Logo to piggyback on team names.

“Most every team ends with an “S” Frank continued, and we leverage that fact to enable sports fans to show support for their team and friendly disdain for their teams opponents.”

Having publicly stated that he hopes the “Lakers Suck Forever” and the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, and EVERY other NBA Team Sucks,  Mark Cuban epitomizes what every die-hard fan feels. U.S.A. taps into that passion.

UCKup Sports Apparel will be bringing along samples to the casting call, including but not limited to a Dallas Mavericks sports tease calling out the team (Houston Rockets) that eliminated the Mavs from the 2014-15 NBA playoffs.

In addition to Mr. Cuban, UCKup Sports Apparel’s pitch will be targeting Daymond John along with his NFL, MLB and NHL Licensing connections, as well as Lori Greiner and her QVC connections.  Numerous die-hard sports from across the country have told us they feel that UCKup Sports Apparels unique designs will sell like hot cakes on QVC.

“Again, our market research indicate a huge demand for the product and the missing link is procuring the licensing deals from the four major sports leagues,” Frank said.   The sports apparel industry is an $8 billion dollar industry and all the players compete for the same piece of the pie, namely providing apparel that let’s fans show support for their team.

“Rather than compete for that slice of pie, UCKup Sports Apparel gives fans their cake (Root FOR their Team) and let them eat it (Root AGAINST Rivals) too.” said Mr. Frank.

The fact that there are so many established rivalries in all four sports leagues, (with new ones developing every year) provides U.S.A. with a tremendously huge untapped marketplace.

Each rivalry serves up two distinct markets for our products to thrive in.   For example, the NFL’s oldest rivalry (Bears vs. Packers) creates a marketplace for our product in both Green Bay AND Chicago while the storied Ravens vs. the Steelers rivalry opens the doors to both the Baltimore and Pittsburgh markets.

Mr. Frank continued, “Each league has somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 or so Divisional Rivalries.  Each rivalry opens up two markets and the numbers don't lie, which is why we’re confident we can muster interest from the sharks.

In terms of margins, our Duel-sided Full Multi-Color 100% cotton sports tease cost less than $2.99 to produce (in quantity) and sell for $25, or about the cost of a one-sided Tee Shirt in the current marketplace.  By providing more than the current offering for the same price, we are providing sports fans with more bang for their bUCK while providing margins designed to earn tremendous profits for both us and the Sharks, Frank concluded.
