Meet the Shibe Crew: Brian Michael

May 09, 2020

The Founder and CEO of Shibe Sports, Brian (with wife Lauren, above) also somehow finds the time to run the popular Phillies blog Phillies Nation and teach economics at Temple University. He ran the website for the previous store in our location. When that owner decided to sell, Brian thought he'd take a shot at buying the store, despite having no previous retail experience. It was a bold move, but it paid off...over 6 years later and we're still here. 

If you played in the MLB, what would your at-bat music be?
Earth, Wind & Fire - September

If you hosted a late night talk show host, what person (living or dead) would you most want to interview? 
Ben Franklin

What's your favorite sports memory? 
The 2008 World Series gets a slight edge over the Eagles Super Bowl since it was spread out over 2 weeks. I went to the games and parade and it was just a whirlwind week of championship baseball - my dream come true.

What is your karaoke song? 
Motownphilly

If you could play any sport professionally, what would it be? 
Lacrosse

What's your favorite sports book? 
Invictus

What's your favorite place you've ever travelled? 
Vieques, Puerto Rico

Who is your favorite all-time Philly athlete? 
Chase Utley

If budget was no object, what artist/group would you want to sing at your birthday party? 
Beastie Boys

Where is your favorite place in the area to watch the big game?
Curran's in NE Philly - they've got the best wings in the city.

What are your favorite three shirts in the store and why? 
PRISM - When I was a kid, I would watch Phillies games on PRISM and my mom would tell me I had to turn off the TV when the games were over. I only found out years later that late-night PRISM was mostly skin-a-max type programming. Gotta have that hotbox tho!

Philadelphia Wings - I'm a huge lacrosse fan and have been to many Wings games over the year. They would regularly draw 15,000+ at the Wells Fargo when it first opened and the games were INTENSE. The team was stocked with superstars like the Gait brothers, Tom Marachek and Dallas Elliuk. This tee represents the logo of that era and is a bit of an easter egg on the website since we don't carry much lax apparel.

The City tee - If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this shirt is a history book. This single image evokes so many stories related to the Philadelphia basketball scene - the Sixers, the Warriors, the Syracuse Nationals, the SPHAS, Camden Bullets and even the Golden State Warriors of today. It works on so many levels.

Take 20% off the three shirts below, and any of the rest of the staff picks, by using the checkout code "brian".
