Earlier this summer we had made the announcement and even posted a picture of Slimmie Hendrix wearing a soon to be released Bumpy Pitch v-neck. Slimmie was wearing one of the samples that we had done and everything was looking good. Then we got the production run of the v-neck back and something was not right. The production run didn’t turn out how we wanted so we just didn’t feel right releasing them.

So we went back to find just the right v-neck to release. We picked a different fabric and different color and decided that instead of just releasing one graphic, we would release two. With the first version not being right, it only seemed fair to go ahead and offer two variations the second time around.

We’re happy to finally be able to offer a v-neck to you guys. This one comes in an incredibly soft and vintage feeling tri-blend fabric that I promise you are going to love. As many of you know, we do our best to get the shirts as soft as possible, and this v-neck definitely falls in that category. The bodies are unisex so we did a version more catered to women and a graphic more catered to the fellas. But really, anyone can wear either of these. The cut on these is more in line with where a v-neck needs to be. A little slimmer than our normal body style and they are also cut just slightly longer.

Available exclusively at Bumpy Pitch.

There was a time not all that long ago when getting access and information on the latest soccer product was not easy to come by. Before the Internet brought us up to the second info on the latest soccer product releases, our access to new products and what was being released was limited. Before the web radically changed how we found out about the gear we wanted and provided countless ways to purchase that product there was one lone sheep that we counted on as the voice and purveyor of all things soccer product. That was Eurosport – The Fabled Soccer Traders.

I remember coming home from school and finding the latest Eurosport catalog in the mailbox. Those days were the highlight of my young life. A catalog with my name on it begging for me to look inside and find every soccer related product I could possibly want. When I say I would geek out on those days, let’s just say that I’m putting it mildly.

I would go through that catalog like a lawyer goes through a legal document. Scouring every page, checking all the products that I wanted, needed or was currently fiending over. Highlighting the key products that would go on my ultimate wish list and trying to figure out how to get said products.

Ahhhh….the good days.

Well things have certainly changed now. The Interwebs are plush with countless sites leaking new products and selling soccer gear. That’s a great thing. Access and information at the click of a button to the products we all love has helped grow the soccer business in a huge way.

With all these new sites popping up, Eurosport, through their soccer.com property is still the leader in the space. And years after Dunny and I were putting in serious time devouring Eurosport catalogs, we now find ourselves coming full circle by being able to sell Bumpy Pitch product with soccer.com.

This is a new venture for us and takes us into new territories which we are very excited about. Some of our product just launched on soccer.com this week and we will be adding more to their store in the near future. With Eurosport having had such an impact and influence on us growing up it’s a very cool and exciting opportunity that we now get to work with them as we continue to build Bumpy Pitch and share our vision.

In those days not so long ago when Eurosport was our product bible, we could have never imagined that years later we would have a brand and that we would be working with the good folks behind Eurosport. But that is part of what makes all of this so great. People always say it’s about the journey and not the destination, and this new part of the journey is a very exciting one for us.

Hit the jump for a couple more classic Eurosport covers from back in the day.
