a little…
Nostalgia
As we prepare to launch our new Summer collection in a few days, we think it’s appropriate to take a few minutes and look back at where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. We started Pennant Race a few years back with barely any money, no customer base and a lot of passionate & (what we thought to be) unique ideas.
Above is actually the first graphic we ever produced. It’s special for a few reasons beyond the fact that it was our first ever Pennant Race product. First, it allowed us to give a commentary on our thoughts on the modern-day athlete. Second, it allowed us to flip our favorite movie poster of all-time. The two came together nicely for a clean, simple graphic that garnered attention from all types of people.
The great thing about expressing yourself artistically is that you are constantly amazed by the diverse group of people who appreciate your stuff. It allows you to break stereotypes in your own mind and realize that you have common interests with individuals you never would have thought you would.
Although we’ve come a long way since that first tee… You’ll continue to see a lot of the same influences in our work today. We are still sports inspired, we still draw a lot of inspiration from that same aforementioned movie, and our graphics still evoke countless hours of thought and passion. We have not changed who we are because we haven’t needed to, there are plenty of “us” in the world.
We thank all of our loyal supporters who have held us down and allowed us to keep making products we truly care about. We promise you that as we go through the boxes of our new Summer stuff that launches later this week, we are just as giddy as we were the day we opened that first tee! This is just the beginning and we hope you continue to ride with us.
Onward and upward!
