It all started with an idea and a post in a paintball forum. The rest is Animal Customs History.

Animal Customs started with a crazy idea. Lets give the people what they want. At the Mardi Gras Open in 1998, Mondo and Rosey went to Louisiana to compete with team "Texas DiamondbaX". Each of the team members had just dropped easily about $85 each on our new "JT" jerseys with custom lettering. When we got to the event, we saw that about 20 other teams had the exact same jersey. We even played 2 teams with the exact same setup. Imagine our disappointment, to spend so much money and end up looking like everybody else.

Mondo, being upset told Rosey and the rest of his team that he saw a nitch in the market and was going to take advantage of it. Mondo and Rosey had been saving for a new house and decided to use that money to start "Animal Paintball". We created 900 jerseys and imagined that we would be wearing these jerseys for years to come if they did not sell. Well we sold out in 3 months.

Animal Paintball evolved into 2 brand names to accommodate all our customers. Animal Paintball and Animal Customs now leads the way in custom jerseys in the paintball, BMX and soon the soccer and hockey world.

Animal has grown into a huge success. It is hard to open a paintball magazine that does not feature our jerseys and / or products being showcased. Our products have also been on major television stations, such as MTV, FOX, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Classic, The Weather Network, TSN, Wild TV, WGN, Outdoor Life Network, FSN, CNN, College Sports TV, Telemundo, Univision,  and E!  Last but not least, we have several Animal and BunkerFest fields that are playable in the new X-Box games, "Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball", the sequel "GHTP MAX'D" and B-Real's Music Video.
