The sports bra, invented in the 1970s by Lisa Lindahl and her partners, revolutionized women's athletic wear. Initially inspired by discomfort from traditional bras during running, they adapted a male jockstrap design. Their creation, the Jogbra, gained popularity as women's participation in sports increased, especially after the Title IX legislation in 1972. The Jogbra was patented in 1979 and later acquired by Playtex Apparel. Over the years, sports bras evolved into a significant market, with annual sales exceeding a billion dollars in the U.S. The invention has become a symbol of women's empowerment in sports, recognized by the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2022.
