Description: Moochie's team outfitting was founded by my father Tyrone Hicks in 1978. Named after his son Dauntez, nickname "Moochie". My father started out by selling athletic gear to Pee Wee football teams all over Los Angeles. From the helmets, pads, to cleats. He also made the basketball warm-up gear for U.C.L.A and the famous Tito Jackson baseball Glitter gear for Motown 25 Jackson 5 reunion, in which the late great Micheal Jackson paid $5,000 for the uniform. Later my father found out the Olympic was coming to Los Angeles. In 1980 he became the first minority licensed vendor for the Olympic games. However he needed a product, he picked stadium seat cushions and began to make his prototype. On the 8th day out of a 17 day event, he sold sold out selling over 50,000 units at $19.99 each. My father passed away in 2003. digging in the garage I found the first prototype, a few different cushions, material blueprints, and info on how to make them. In 2004 I made a newer version of the cushion, all leather with USC colors (no logo). My vision is to get an exclusive contract with the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and NCAA to sell their team seat cushions at their stadiums. Millions of dollars is at reach definately. I have done my research and NO OTHER STADIUM SEAT CUSHIONS LOOK LIKE OURS!!! I lived in Houston for 5 years (Katy), and just moved back to California. In 2007 I had a deal with an NFL player and his investors, I turned down the 20% offer. My best friend is assistant coach for the Lakers. I have an inside to the NBA, and Big 10 Football conference (Bubba Smith "uncle").......... I JUST NEED THE INVESTOR>>> SOMEONE WHO SEES THE BIG PICTURE AND SHARE MY VISION..... email me at (URL removed) or call (Phone # removed). I can email a picture or the seat cushions old and new. The production cost is $8-10 a cushion and sold retail for $39.99-$59.99 Thanks for your time Dauntez hicks
