Gameday Couture is a clothing company that designs and sells fashionable team apparel for women. They started out designing cute t-shirts and sweatshirts for collegiate sports, an alternative to the traditionally unisex team apparel (big and boxy).
Instead of big shirts cut for nobody in particular, Gameday Couture designs fashionable team apparel with shape and style. In December 2014, the co-founders of Gameday Couture, husband and wife team Shawnna and Kurt Feddersen, pitched their business on Shark Tank. They went into the Tank seeking an investment of $500,000 for 20 percent equity. They made a deal with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban — $500,000 for 33 percent — with a contingency.

The contingency was that Gameday Couture had to design a women’s clothing line for the Dallas Mavericks that Cuban’s wife would love. And they did! Since then, Cuban has helped Gameday Couture land deals with all 30 NBA teams. [Related: 27 Favorite ‘Shark Tank’ Products at Amazon — New List]
