He also designed hats, T-shirts, pull-over sweatshirts and knit sweaters for the Milwaukee Bucks, which were sold in the team’s pro shop. He started his clothing brand based on his goal to start his own business and his interest in fashion. Longoria said he is now looking forward to opening his first brick-and-mortar store in Lake Geneva and may open other locations in the future.
