RESULT!
So a few days ago i was put on to a lil event that was goin on over at Reed Space by the giftd. It was only the official release party of the new Umbro England shirt… is that not crazy?? After numerous debates over the new shirt at England’s win over Slovakia on sat, after id watched the documentary and had knowledge of what had actually gone in the the process of this shirt, i was now in a position where i cud win one of these beauty’s! I went on the site, RSVP pronto and foot tapped anctiously all the way through the day till 6 o’clock.
Got there, wasn’t too busy and my mate Seany Mac had been there since the 4 o’clock opening, (free Carlsberg let me add) hence he was a bit worse for wear and was chin wagging the hell out of some poor photographer on my arrival. Soon after debs turned up and before you knew it the raffle was being drawn. I still foot tapping i sat staring at my “lucky” ticket hearing 5 or 6 random numbers and then realizing there were 2 more to go.. long story short debs won and i didn’t. 1 number away! Gahh!
After conversating with my new friend Niko, he firmly suggested i come back the next day for another bash at the raffle.. so guess what.. i did! i ran down after work, not as fast as the day before but i got there sharpish with the local celebrity smiler, karma-tastic. Beers in, raffle starts.. 3rd number in…209!! holy Fuck.. i won… cant believe it! Check out the pics peeps… you’ve godda love it! Lets just hope the shirt has the luck to take us all the way the the next star….

ALL CHEERS FOR “BUMPY PITCH”
Ok…. Ok so i know 2 posts on football (soccer) in 2 days.. it wasn’t planned honestly, its not my fault the beautiful game is becoming ever more popular over here in the states. So after getting in, settling down, allowing the sweat to evaporate from the center of my back i popped the kettle on and surfed through my regular morning blogs… to my surprise i read a post on Uncrate about a lil emerging brand “bumpy Pitch”. Ive noticed while watching sports channels such as Fox Soccer a few vintage tees here and there, place on presenters and football stars during certain shows and interviews… well well well to my surprise it was tees from Bumpy pitch them selves…. be sure to check them out, ive quoted a lil from there website about who these jolly fellas are..
“Bumpy Pitch is a two pronged project encompassing a clothing company and an online magazine (theoriginalwinger.com). Our singular focus is to showcase the culture and lifestyle that soccer inspires. Our roots in Los Angeles, mixed with our collective experiences within the sport creates a unique platform for the only soccer inspired lifestyle company.
Theoriginalwinger.com is an extension of the product line and serves as a platform for which we can connect, inform and engage with our culture on a daily basis. In less than a year The Original Winger has become the leading online voice in building and supporting the lifestyle of the world’s most popular sport.
There is no bigger subculture consisting of passionate, informed and involved participants. Up to this point our culture has been underserved from a lifestyle perspective. The focus of the sport has always been limited to what takes place on the pitch, and has largely ignored how it influences and inspires people in every facet of their lives. Bumpy Pitch is changing that daily and helping the sport grow and evolve in a way that is much more representative of who we are in the 21st century.”
