Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 26, 2013 -- The lifestyle line Lights Out Brand is now selling its glow-in-the-dark mini basketball hoop at the toy store, Yoyo.com. The over-the-door basketball hoop features a 17” x 12.5” backboard, breakaway metal rim, padded door bracket and 5” ball. Backboard trim, rim, net and ball are all glow-in-the-dark. The easy to assemble toy retails for $34.99 and is recommended for ages 5 and up.

“Lights Out Brand received an overwhelmingly positive consumer response when we launched the hoop on our site earlier this year,” commented Lights Out Brand CEO Shawne Merriman. “We wanted to meet this demand and increase distribution to make the product widely available to consumers everywhere.”

Shawne Merriman was given the nickname "Lights Out" in high school for his hard-hitting style of play. He decided to parlay his success on the field into a globally recognized brand that would appeal to sports fans and general consumers alike.

In addition to the hoop, Lights Out Brand offers a complete lifestyle line of high quality, fashion forward apparel for men and women, including stylish t-shirts, v-necks, and fitted and snap-back hats.

Lights Out Brand represents something much more than just a nickname or an athlete, it represents a lifestyle.
