Stick It Wear?! Releases Updated "Rivalries" Designs

If we haven't made it clear before, we love the designs coming out of Stick It Wear?!. We covered the Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe designs, and we just learned about the release of their updated rivalries designs.

They've always had McEnroe/Borg, Agassi/Sampras, and Federer/Nadal, but these new designs have a twist, a big 'ole "V" in the middle, just in case you couldn't tell these folks were arch enemies.

Not crazy about the Stick It Wear?! logo on the front, I prefer it on the back shoulder. But loving the new "V" - adds a nice design component.

Check them out on the Stick It Wear?! website.

-Practice Poaching by Reading The Ball Machine's Wide or Inside Serve
-Safety First Stable Design
-Aircraft Aluminum Construction
