Koosh

Koosh is a Hasbro-owned brand of ball-related products that began in 1987. It is best known for its traditional "Koosh ball" product, but has also produced various other sports balls and miscellaneous products.

Details
Koosh's initial product, the Koosh ball, was made out of rubber. When they would begin producing sports balls under their Koosh Vortex series, they would be made of a similar foam to that of Nerf sports balls.

History
Hasbro would acquire the Koosh brand and its parent company, OddzOn, in 1997, allowing them to continue producing products under the OddzOn label. The Koosh Vortex series was released in 1998, ten years after the brand's first product. Not only would it feature soft, safe footballs, but it would also have unique "Spin Fire Ring" blasters in its lineup.

The Koosh brand would cease to be in 2001, when OddzOn was finally closed by Hasbro. However, it would be revived in 2012 by Hasbro, with the release of the Nerf-branded Koosh Galaxy series of ball blasters. This would go on to have a successor series, Angry Birds Star Wars Koosh, that same year.
