About Us
When we started our company, we knew we wanted to offer the best of everything, the center of it all. That meant the best t-shirts, the most eye-popping wall art, hats, hoodies, sports gear and more. But, we didn’t know what to call the company. So many names of sites like ours can sound amateurish and silly.
We wanted a name that was authentic, that was “us.”But, we also wanted a name that served as a mission statement. A name that lets folks know what we’re all about.We went back and forth with a few ideas, then we just looked outside. There, we found our answer.
818 Sports.
818, as you probably know, is one of the area codes associated with Burbank, in the Southern California area. Burbank is, when it comes to American culture, basically right in the center of everything. It’s in Los Angeles County, but it’s right next to Hollywood. You’ve seen so many TV shows and movies filmed right here. So many famous people are originally from here. Even more, have lived here.When it comes to sports, pro teams, college teams - they’re all right here.That’s what 818 Sports is: a place for what you’re looking for that’s right in the center of everything.
