sports t-shirts

sports


Greetings all.

The other day I was talking about extreme t-shirts and their close brethren the sports t-shirt.
Why is it that there are pretty much zero Springleap.com design winners of a sports t-shirt style?

Ok so maybe there aren’t exactly zero sports t-shirts, there has been one or two instances where the genre has appeared and come out with a win.
The first such example is undoubtedly Robbielee’s The BAD in badminton, which fits the genre of sport t-shirt really nicely, while still having that special Springleap.com flair.
After all this is NOT your typical sports designs, no sir, any design that has a giant propelled robot intent on serving the humans with a deadly shuttlecock, is definitely not normal.
However that is the funny thing about Springleap’s designs, every single one, no matter how normal the design genre may seem, is always taken to the next level and given that extra little quirk.
Obviously the realm of sport t-shirts falls under this creative influence….hey you know you love it ;)

Springleap.com in London Underground newspaper

Metro Newspaper Article


Good morning all.

Springleap.com has certainly been making its presence known in these past few months.
It seems I can’t go anywhere without bumping into somebody wearing one of our cool shirts, or talking to somebody who heard about the business via the grapevine.
There is one thing however that makes us smile ear to ear and that is when Springleap.com is mentioned in international circles.

Our fearless leader Eric bounced me through an awesome picture and link to an article that mentioned Springleap.com over in the UK.
What is even more impressive is that this particular article was inside the regular London underground  newspaper, called the Metro.
Anybody who has lived and worked in London will know this paper VERY well. The Metro is probably one of the only activities you can find solace in when travelling on the jammed London underground.
The Metro is packed full of interesting info about what is going on locally and abroad, whilst also making sure that there is tons of light hearted and fun content to keep you occupied.
