It’s not a big dollar corporation decorated with swooshes and one of the biggest names in sports, but former Bowling Green basketball star Antonio Daniels is starting to make waves with his own line of clothing in San Antonio.
Daniels, who now plays point guard in the NBA for the San Antonio Spurs, is making another hit off the court with his clothing apparel, which includes T-shirts and autographed jerseys to name a few items.
If you go to a Spurs game, you’ll see AD Gear, Daniels’ line of clothing, decorating many fans in the San Antonio crowd. The T-shirts are equipped with a Michael Jordan-esque logo, showing Daniels throwing down a one-handed jam. Across the logo Daniels? name is sported, his initials in the background.
“It’s something that came off the website,” Daniels said. “It’s a pretty big deal in San Antonio. A lot of people have really taken to it.”
Daniels launched AD gear on his website, www.Antonio Daniels.com, three years ago. Besides clothing, there are columns by Daniels and other members of the Spurs, including Tim Duncan. Also included are Daniels’ up-to-date statistics, his biography, a tribute to his brother Chris, who passed away while Daniels was at Bowling Green, and a multimedia page that has videos of Daniels in commercials and other television events.
The 2001-02 official Antonio Daniels shirt is now available in black for $19.95. Older shirts are available in white and gray for $15.95. Daniels also offers other memorabilia, including an autographed basketball for $199.95 and autographed Spurs jersey for $299.95.
“The gear is not really anything about making money,” Daniels said. “It something to do for fun and support the team.”
