About Zubaz

In the summer of 1988, when neon lights, big hair, and booming beats defined the era, a revolution in athletic fashion began. Two Minnesota gym owners, Dan Stock and Bob Truax, envisioned more than just workout gear; they created a movement. The result was Zubaz, a brand synonymous with boldness, individuality, and the spirit of those who "Dare to Be Different."

Initially designed for bodybuilders, Zubaz pants were celebrated for their loose fit and elastic waistband, offering unmatched comfort. But it was the wild, zebra-striped patterns that turned heads, catching the eye of NFL players who wore Zubaz both on and off the field. What started in the gym quickly spread to stadiums, schools, concerts, and homes across the nation. Zubaz became a cultural icon, representing the carefree, rebellious spirit of the late '80s and early '90s.

Today, Zubaz continues to create apparel that marries functionality with bold style. From gym enthusiasts to die-hard NFL fans, Zubaz offers something for everyone who wants to stand out. We invite you to Show Your Stripes—embrace your uniqueness, and wear your boldness with pride.
