Please don't just order a bunch of blank fitted hates and audacious t-shirts and hoodies from china and embroider or silkscreen your logo and call it a company. It's been done. Repeatedly.
Wasn't there a company that sponsored Johnny Archer and that trick shot guy that actually made some interesting clothing. Dressy, but also sporty? Was that company successful? Quite frankly, is the market place big enough for people wanting "pool player" apparel (whatever that is?)?
Instead of "Hustlin" or "Playas" or whatever else....think of a name with class...that doesn't have to necessarily relate to POOL, but you can still introduce your clothing to the billiard marketplace if that really interests you. Then, in the event the billiard world didn't react to your apparel and want to spend money- you could market it somewhere else.
Are you getting into business to make money, or just to make money from pool players....because making money off pool players is a tough road to hoe.
I wish you the best of luck.[/QUOTE]
I couldn't agree with this more. Every time a new pool apparel company comes out I buy a T-shirt or two to help support people supporting what I love. I have a bunch of shirts that no one has ever heard of and that I can't find on the internet anymore. And all of them were just a pre-made t-shirt with the new logo or slang stamped on it.
Also, I hope you intend on sponsoring a big time pro. I think the quoted post was referencing Universe Gear. Just like it, no one would have ever heard of Lights Out gear if they had not sponsored Sky Woodward when he started going nutty. No one would have ever heard of Brutal Gear if they had not picked up Sky Woodward.
None of my other "pre-mades" ever sponsored and they no longer exist.
