One of the ways I coped at school when I got fed up was to design football tops. With this in mind I fancied one day having an actual go at creating my own kits and through Daft Laddie Apparel I got my opportunity. I intend this to be a stand alone part of the wider Daft Laddie network.

I decided on the Apparel badge as I wanted to pay tribute to Admiral sports company for fuelling my passion for kits with their innovative 1970s range of designs. I was already something of a kit geek as a youngster, their appearance on the scene merely cemented their place in my consciousness as being a leader in the field.
