Discmania History Question

[cblowrun]

Hi there, new DGCR person here, so I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. I thought about asking in the 'Ask Discmania' thread, but it seems like that is more for general disc inquiries than a history question.

Anyway, I was watching old footage from the '05 European DGC and noticed that at right around 14:30, Lundmark has a 'Discmania' patch on his shirt. The problem is that I thought Discmania was founded in '06? I mean, I am sure they did marketing and whatnot before then, but I thought this was of interest and wanted to know if any of the gurus on here knew anything about it... I'm pretty new to the sport and was a history major in college, so I find this sort of thing interesting but there may not be many people interested in DG's history.

And just for the record, I did a quick search before asking and couldn't find anything!
Thanks

Apparently Discmania didn't start making discs until 2006, but was a retailer like Dynamic Discs used be before becoming a manufacturer.
