Welcome to The Clink Room, Brandiose’s after-hours clubhouse. The two of us grew up in San Diego, best friends since kindergarten. We loved looking through the newest Star Struck catalog and picking out our favorite designs. We always dreamed of designing logos for our favorite sports teams.
To earn some extra beer money in college, we started designing high school logos out of our dorm rooms. We screen-printed the logos on t-shirts out of our garages, then sold them to the high schools. That summer we wrote 150 letters to Minor League Baseball teams. Only one got back to us, the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx. They told us, “If we like it, we’ll buy it.” So we worked all summer for our first Minor League club.
Today, our company Brandiose, creates designs not just for Minor League clubs, but Major League Baseball too. We’ve worked on projects for the World Series, and recently modernized the logos for America’s oldest baseball club, the Cincinnati Reds.
The Clink Room is our after hours clubhouse in the back of Brandiose’s studios. It’s a behind-the-scenes place to introduce new ideas, experiment in the world of sports design, and collaborate with friends of the studio. The ideas are flying, the beer is cold, and bottles are clinking! The Clink Room offers a few different types of caps…
THE EDITIONS – A limited Edition of 150, these caps feature concept logos taken from our design process with the Major League and Minor League Baseball teams.
• Each cap is an individually hand numbered. Only 150 pieces are being made for this Edition.
• The tags are personally signed by the project designers.
• Cap under visors are lined with our signature cork fabric, imported from Italy.
• Editions are identified by a designers pencil over the ear and display the Phase, identifying the phase of the project the logo was sampled from. Click here to check out The Editions.
Official On-Field – The same official caps designs we created for Minor League and Major League Baseball teams worn on the field for each game. We’ve designed around 100 official on-field caps for Major and Minor League Baseball teams. These are just ones we know you’ll love. Click here to check out the Official On-Fields.
Regularly, we reach-out to The Clink Room readers with a challenge of designing a hat for The Clink Room to produce. We’ve held several collaborations contests so far and will offer many more in the future. Check out the two collaborations, the Skate Shop League and the Taco Shop League, the Clink Community has designed so far!
Thanks for hanging with us in The Clink Room and stay tuned for our next Collaboration Contest!
