What to know about Tapout

Tapout makes training apparel, activewear and accessories: graphic tees, hoodies, joggers, shorts and gym bags sold largely through mass retail and licensees. Charles "Mask" Lewis Jr. and Dan "Punkass" Caldwell registered it in San Bernardino County, California in 1997, and it became the dominant MMA merchandise label of the 2000s. Authentic Brands Group bought the trademark in 2010 and repositioned it as a fitness lifestyle brand through a 50/50 joint venture with WWE formed in 2015, making Tapout WWE's official training partner. Aesthetic leans logo-heavy performance basics.
