Shawne Merriman has carried the nickname "Lights Out" through a storied football career that started at a Prince George's County high school, took him to the University of Maryland College Park and ultimately made him a three-time Pro Bowler in the NFL. So it should come as no surprise that Merriman has used the name for his latest venture, an apparel collection sold nationally in DTLR stores.
"Lights Out is so much bigger than one person," the 32-year-old said. "It has so much of a bigger meaning. Lights Out is a performance. Lights Out is what people strive to be. It's the way I played on the field. This is why the company was created."
Lights Out offers men's and women's performance tees as well as other active gear. The brand, which has pieces ranging in price from $15 to $88, is sold online as well as in DTLR (Downtown Locker Room) locations, including those in the Baltimore area.
The brand will release apparel every month that will allow customers to match garments to the latest sneaker and shoe offerings, according to Merriman.
