Wham-O

United States · Founded 1948

Wham-O is the company that popularized the Frisbee, trademarking the name in the late 1950s and launching flying discs into mainstream culture. Its Frisbee and professional-model discs shaped the early era of disc sports before dedicated disc golf equipment existed. Vintage Wham-O discs remain highly collectible among enthusiasts and historians of the game. The brand holds a foundational place in the sport's origins as the name that started flying-disc recreation.
