Chuck & AW...thank you for the post and the love, the family appreciates it. I saw one comment on here that called the graphic contrived...appreciate the honesty. I invite you all to check out the site and see what we're actually about. But maybe you're too busy to click on Big Fly Gear because of work or whatever and that's cool, so I'll explain what it is we do.
We're storytellers. We take a person, moment and/or place in baseball history revolving around the home run and we create a one-of-a-kind piece of art that tells the story for us. Our art is slanted towards the vintage look and feel of yesteryear...colors, fonts, designs, etc. We take our time researching the topic/individual and decide how we're going to convey the story. To date, we've created graphics to honor Babe, Ruth, Lou Gehrig & Hank Aaron, Kirk Gibson's HR in the World Series, the Negro Leagues, Bobby Thomson's 'Shot Heard 'Round the World', Japanese home run hitters such as Oh and Matsui as well as Latino home run hitters like Cepeda just to name a few. Each product on our site has an accompanying 'story' that explains the tribute. It's what makes us different. Millville Meteor is our tribute to Mike Trout. Anyone can get a shirt with a player's name and number on it, they're dime a dozen. Ours are unique to us and in this particular case, it speaks to the individual, his mystique and where he's from. Our hope is the person wearing one of our garments is asked about the graphic they are sporting, this way they can share the 'story' with someone new. In addition to our art, our garments are top notch and incredibly soft.
So that's our elevator pitch on a message board (I think it's under :60). It's cool if you don't like what we're doing, no sweat for us. We just keep chugging along...we're now one year in and hope we're building something that's unique & fun as well as prosperous while showcasing our love for the game of baseball (both today and yesteryear). At worst, we've allowed our kids to experience what it's like to start a business as an entrepreneur from concept through to day to day operations (which for us, is probably the very coolest thing).
All that said, I'm ready for some Angels baseball in just over a month. Looking forward to the 2020 season and seeing what this team has in store for us. Again, thank you for the support and love over 10 years, AW family. It means a lot to our family.
Deuces ✌
