Go Gators!
That common cheer was shouted to inspire our beloved Florida Gators as they chomp their way to the SEC Championship. But sometimes a simple cheer isn't enough. So along came the Gator Chomp! Then again, sometimes you want to do more than raise your voice or wave your bare arms while cheering on a favorite team. More than likely, you want to feel that Perfect Fan energy in every cell of your body.
I've always thought of myself as the Perfect Gator's Fan — I thrive on being in a swamp full of Gator lovers. I cheer, laugh, groan, shout, eat and drink my way through every game. And sometimes even that doesn't feel like enough. For years, I wanted to do more than slice air with my bare arms. And I wanted everyone with me to feel and spread that Perfect Fan energy.
A few years back, an idea began forming in my mind. I couldn't get that "What If?" idea out of my head. What if I designed a cheering tools that really would energize fans and players, too? Could I really do it?
I didn't have formal design experience. Actually, I didn't have
any
experience. But that idea kept pushing other thoughts aside, like a dreams getting louder in my head. Dreams have a way of cheering themselves on between your ears, and before you know it, they become real!
Dreams can be scary too. I wondered if I could figure out the right steps. I also needed dough to get going, literally. My first investment was clay dough. Then, armed with a big idea and a few sculpting tools, I got working on the first prototype of Gator Trap. The more people I spoke to, the more this dream didn't seem so crazy. People loved my Gator Trap prototype. Before long, with line drawings and a local stitcher, we birthed Gator Bait, too. Soon these mascot replicas were getting chomped in Gator Trap jaws.
Not long after, as the UF Gators approached the starting line, I was preparing to start Perfect Fan Gear. After a few fits and starts, Perfect Fan Gear is finally underway! Gator Tap and Gator Bait will soon be joined by new cheering tools—already in development. And I've now got my dream job ... making people happy with fun cheering tools,
We hope you'll love Perfect Fan Gear products as much as we do. We hope you'll use them to cheer on your favorite team! If that's not the Gators, let us know whom you are cheering for. If we can, we'll make a special product for you, too!
