Farkas Eye Black was founded in the name of “Anvil” Andy Farkas. Farkas changed the face of the American Athlete when he became the first player to wear Eye Black in the NFL. The standout fullback laid those groundbreaking lines under his eyes in 1942, and led the Washington Redskins to the World Championship. An All-American out of the University of Detroit (1937), Farkas played 7 seasons with Washington and capped his career with the Detroit Lions in 1945. In 2002, the Redskins named Farkas as one of the 70 Greatest Redskins of all time.

FARKAS EYE BLACK

A commitment to quality, tradition and greatness.

Applying eye black is usually the last quiet moment an athlete has to prepare for the game ahead. Unlike stickers and plastic applicators, we are the only company to give the athlete/customer an eye black product that looks like it belongs in the pre-game ritual. Our packaging has the air of tradition and our formula is second to none.

Farkas Eye Black is made for each season, and it will last the entire season. We makes one production run and we are done for the season.  Think of it as a rare batch of bourbon with a born-on date for each sports season. We only make two batches a year for each fall and spring season.  We will use the best ingredients and tweak as needed for each season.  

 

The Farkas tin is part of the product story…the tin will last a lifetime and can be a relic of the athlete’s playing days.  The tin will have a spot for your number, a team/personal goal, or objective for the season.
After reading a 2002 Yale School of Medicine study by Dr. Brian DeBroff, that found eye black grease to be effective at reducing glare and eye black stickers to be conversely ineffective, we brought on Dr. DeBroff – the guy who literally wrote the book on eye black – to lead our R&D team.
That same Yale study found that Andy Farkas, fullback for the Washington Redskins (1938 – 44) started the tradition of wearing eye black in the NFL. Farkas was subsequently named one of the Seventy Greatest Redskins of all time in 2002.
Farkas Eye Original Eye Black is committed to providing serious athletes the best eye black on the market. To that end, our model allows us to continually adapt new technology, science and incorporate feedback from elite athletes on all levels and in all sports.

Muscles grow during rest, not while working out. Adequate sleep, rest days, and recovery techniques like stretching and massage are vital components of a successful bodybuilding program.
