History

Official Sports is a family owned and operated business. In past years, our location housed Referee’s Call and Stripes Plus. In October 2003, Barry Steele took over the Stripes Plus (Ft. Worth location) and Just ME Shipping businesses from retiring sports official, Eddie Lee. In October 2004, Mike Hunter of Stripes Plus (Amarillo location) offered to sell the DFW location to Barry Steele. He accepted the offer and renamed the business OfficialSports.Net.
