DBANDS Now the Official Headband of the ABA
Acquisition of DBANDS by RMD Entertainment Group Still on Track for December 13th Close
PHILADELPHIA, PA and INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- (Market Wire - Dec 07, 2005) -- RMD Entertainment Group (OTC: RMDG). The ABA continues to be innovative in its approach to bringing safer, fast-paced, fan friendly, exciting and affordable basketball to its fans. The league has agreed to make DBANDS the Official Headband of the ABA. DBANDS are the first new patent design for sweatbands in fifty years, designed with extra material on top for improved function, safety and a completely new look. They won't slip and protect the eyes much better than conventional sweatbands and absorb more sweat.
DBANDS were first introduced during the 2003-2004 seasons when it signed six NBA players, including Eddie Curry (NY Knicks), Brad Miller (Sacramento Kings), Jamal Crawford (NY Knicks), Ron Artest (Indiana Pacers), James Posey (Miami Heat) and Linton Johnson III (NJ Nets) to endorse the DBANDS. This past summer, DBANDS sponsored a team at the Entertainers Basketball Classic (EBC) at Rucker Park in Harlem, NY and became the Official Headbands of EBC. During the 8 weeks of the EBC tournament, DBANDS gained great national exposure on ESPN and NBA TV and continue to do so.
"We applaud the ABA for its commitment to provide safer equipment for its players," said Vincent Norment, Inventor of DBANDS. "This was a no brainer as they say." Tom Chichester, ABA Director of Officials added, "Safety first for our players. Many players have been temporarily blinded by sweat bands slipping, obscuring their vision. And to prevent sweat from spilling onto the floor, a major cause of injuries, DBANDS are icing on the cake."
"The ABA provides a great environment and community for DBANDS. I expect it to go over well with the fans and all over the country and overseas. We're looking forward to a great relationship," further commented Norment.
Giorgio Costonis CEO of RMD Entertainment Group added, "Congratulations to both the ABA and DBANDS. We are extremely pleased with this undertaking by DBANDS. To be named the official gear of a professional sports league such as the ABA demonstrates the viability of the DBANDS product and its company's leadership. We remain on schedule for our acquisition of DBANDS to be signed on December 13th. Their product is hot right now and makes a great addition to our entertainment and lifestyle portfolio. DBANDS offers us the opportunity to increase our revenues significantly in 2006. Our strategy will be to make our music product and apparel lines one in the same in the eyes of our customers because the consumer demographic for our entertainment division and DBANDS is so similar. This will allow us to execute numerous cross promotion campaigns for our entire product line world-wide. Our goal is to sell every clothing customer music and each music customer clothing. The best customer we have is a repeat customer."
