Derby Diary

croatoandesign:

I recently designed a logo for the Jamazons, a team in the Peterborough Roller Derby League, Ontario. This past weekend they played the season opener in their new kit!

I love derby, so when Hilary - who used to skate with the Brawlers back home in Cardiff - asked if I’d be interested in designing a logo for her team I jumped at the chance.

It’s pretty amazing to see a whole team wearing the finished product!

Look at the worldwide Brawler family go! One of our photographers and poster designers making a logo for the new team of one of our former freshies in Canada, while we prepare to travel to our first tournament in Belgium and our matriarch BB Bombshell prepares to go to her first tournament in the USA with her team the VRDL All-stars from Melbourne, Australia. Phew!

The Tiger Bay Brawlers need to raise cash,
It’s why we’re holding our birthday bash!
It’s why we skated for miles in the rain
(and carried on smiling despite the pain)!

We’re pimping out coaches to train your teams,
Billie Pistol + Boba are the jammers of dreams,
Judge Redd can teach…

Is there no end to a Brawler’s talents?

Now we all know that there is a lot of love in Roller Derby right? We love our team, we love the sport, we love our selves for being part of this amazing experience. However some times it can be hard to keep 80 women and men happy and getting along. Bullying is a destructive part of Roller Derby…

Never a truer word.

THIS. Just this.

Not usually one for motivational quotes, but this is apt.
