My brand is similar to a European brand called Tango which advertised cheeky stuff and spawned general confusion in the pommy public. 'Tis satirical, postmodern in image, humorous, and differs easily from other sport brands in that it is not so freakin hardcore serious.
Influences branch across street art pieces, Mambo, Robert Crumb, Big Daddy Roth in the cartoony wacky styles of yore.
Themes go for the floral Hawaiian touch, a little. Yet preserves its own individualism.

Twill be bigger than Jesus.
