DC History Timeline

• 1990:
  Ken Block meets Damon Way in a class at a local community college. The two start a clothing brand called Eightball.
• 1991:
  Eightball moves from the garage to an office.
• 1992:
  Building on Eightball's success, Ken and Damon launch Droors clothing line. Eightball produces snowboarding's first ever "snow jean" (baggy, water-resistant nylon jeans), based on a pattern of highly successful Eightball jean.
• 1993:
  DC launches Blunt magazine; the first issue features Del the Funky Homosapien on the cover and includes the infamous "How to Clip Tickets" article.
  
  Also, Block partners with Damon, Damon's brother pro skateboarder Danny Way, and the Plan B skateboards owner/founder Mike Ternasky to launch Type A snowboards. Type A is distributed from Eightball/Droors HQ. Block designs Type A's logo.
  
  Eightball outerwear premieres at SIA (Ski Industry Association) trade show.
  
  Circus Distribution formed to house Eightball, Droors, Blunt and Type A. Block and Way considers making shoes. Circus makes samples to test the waters. Potential names include Droors Shoes and DC Shoes, for Droors Clothing Shoes.
• 1994:
  The Eightball brand is phased out and Dub Outerwear is born. Block, who really likes hip-hop, sees an opportunity for Dub to reflect that style of gear in snowboarding. Among its innovations, Dub is the first outerwear company in snowboarding to use hand gaiters on its jackets. Dub's first ad appears in the October TransWorld SNOWboarding. The team is made up of Daniel Peterka, Russell Winfield, Ian Ruhter, Nathan Yant and Gabe Crane.

I'm going for 1992...Droors Clothing is what DC stands for
