In 2013 a recognition award show was created to honor fans and their contribution to the sports industry it's called the What A Fan Awards. Its been held in Orlando Florida but will be relocated to Los Angeles California in 2016. Over the coming weeks we're going to introduce you to some of the countries most devoted fans of all genres of sports in their own words.
Since 1995
What triggered your passion for sports?
We grew up playing sports, never stopped loving to watch.
Favorite sports moment?
My brother and I wearing our "Jag" suits for the first time and realizing that the masses loved it once we made our first appearance on the worlds largest scoreboards.
Who would you like to meet and why?
Shaquille O'Neal
What charitable programs are you involved with?
Currently not officially involved with any, however we do heavily support Breast Cancer Awareness and we enjoyed taking pictures with the Play 60 kids. Our Mom is a Breast Cancer Survivor and that's how the whole JagSuitVille bit was started.
How does your family feel about your passion for sports?
Full Support from Family, Friends and practically everyone we meet.
How did you select your outfit?
Sitting with my family and trying to come up with something unique, and hey, who doesn't love a Jaguar print three piece suit.
Tell us a humorous story?
The first game that we went to dawning the Jag suits, we didn't realize that we needed to cut the stitching on the tailored suits for ventilation and it was insanely hot. We went most of that game sweating so bad and drinking water trying to figure out why the heck we couldn't cool down. Finally a more style savvy fan came over and told us that we forgot to cut the stitching in the coat tail flap. We got them cut and low and behold the ventilation began. We owe that guy a beer if he's out there!
What would winning the What A Fan Awards mean to you?
It would be the crown jewel in a well decorated run of fun. We do it to for the fun, fans and our city. Jacksonville needs to be shown some love and we're here to do it!
