Big thanks to Unbiased for making sure that we saw Bumpy Pitch represented over at the Kansas City’s Wizards’ blog Hillcrest Road with my boy Josh Wolff.

Wolffy and I go all the way back to 1997 and the US Under - 20’s, experiencing 6 months at the ARCO Olympic Team Training Center in San Diego, the 2000 Sydney Olympics and some truly great experiences under the best coach and person I ever played under, Clive Charles.

Yesterday Dunny, Athe and I hit up just about every corner of LA. From the South Bay, to the Valley, downtown to the Westside, and all points in between, it was a busy day of meetings, checking up on new products and meeting with new store accounts. From the Valley we headed to our first stop downtown to check on the new hoodies and sweatshirts and to also discuss some new products that we will be releasing in 2009 that are just in the pure development stages.

That time of year is on us again. It always comes quick and sneaks up on us. If you happen to be in the market for some gifts then we would like to help. We want to offer something to all of our fam that checks in with us daily and participates in this soccer movement that we are committed to. Starting now we are offering a free Bumpy Pitch logo shirt to anybody that buys two Bumpy Pitch shirts. Use the free one as a gift or keep it for yourself…either way it’s a free shirt. All you need to do is order two shirts, and when you place the order, indicate the size of the free shirt that you would like in the comments section on the order page. Easy as that..

Happy holidays…and as always, keep it bumpy!

Nothing like starting off the day catching up with your boys for a little grub. Ace, Myself, Gilles Marini, Donal Logue and Beans.

The Studio Cafe over on Ventura.

Sent some Bumpy Pitch shirts out.

And some more shirts.

Then had to run downtown to get some things sorted that we’ll bring to you shortly……

A little undershot inside the truck that was used while I was interviewing US International and Chivas USA left back Jonathan Bornstein up in Lancaster during this weekend’s Development Academy Winter Showcase.

Our boy Gilles was on Extra TV tonight for a roundtable discussion and he sported the new Bumpy Pitch Brooklyn Wanderers shirt. Good looking out Gilles!

When I was a kid, ET had to have been one of my favorite movies.  I even dressed up as the dude for a Halloween costume. The movie was a classic and one that I still watch every time it is on HBO. Looking back though, the movie inspired more than the obvious.  One of the things that stands out to me about ET, which is visible in the clip above, is how the kids were rocking hoodies. We might see hoodies all over the place now, but ET is where I first got hip to them. With that in mind, we are on our way to check out the first Bumpy Pitch hoodies. We’ve have been getting crazy requests for Bumpy Pitch hoodies, but we have been taking our time and making sure that they are right. Doing a hoodie is one thing, but trying to do a hoodie that you can wear for years has been something we have been hard at work on. We’ll have some sneak peaks of the hoodies soon, and we have another sweatshirt in the mix that will prove to be a classic as well. In the meantime, check out the clip above and see where the hoodie fascination began.

deadstock  - Brand-new condition, unsold vintage merchandise. Normally will have original tags and/or packaging

We get a lot of calls and emails about some of the shirts that we have released in the past and asking if we will ever be offering them again. We’re never sure if we will re-visit previous styles or not, so in the meantime we have come up with a solution to get that out of print shirt. We have opened up the BP vault to our boy Raul and his store Lemonrags.  We have partnered with Lemonrags and are selling all of our deadstock merchandise with them. Most of these shirts will never be made again, and each style has a very limited amount that are left. So if you see one that you like, don’t sleep. But we wanted to at least make what was left available. All shirts are available exclusively at Lemonrags and be purchased in store or online. Click here to head to the Lemonrags site, and check out a few of the styles available after the jump.

Headed over to our spot Mexicali on Ventura Ave with Athe and Ray Rizzle, who just got back into town after being around the world in just 3 months.

Kobe tacos… ridiculous.

As Dunny mentioned earlier, the Miami Gatos shirt from our current holiday collection was worn on The Ellen Show yesterday. He posted a picture, but here is a clip of the performance.
