It’s crazy to see where Bumpy Pitch t-shirts pop up at. When we started BP, we wanted to give soccer people something that they could wear that helped to define the lifestyle of the sport. But, we also hoped that it would be embraced and worn in places and by people that would push the sport into new places that maybe it hadn’t really gone before. To push the lifestyle of the sport, it has to reach outside the lines and spread to new people. This video is a pretty classic example of that.
