All Sports Band

All Sports Band was an American pop/rock musical group who saw minor chart success in the early 1980s. The band was founded by Tracy Coats, who sought to appeal to a youthful market by dressing the band members as sports figures.[1] Coats spent 18 months auditioning tapes before selecting the band members.[1] The represented sports were auto racing, baseball, boxing, football, and martial arts.[1][2][3] The band appeared on both Solid Gold and American Bandstand.[1][2]
