About us

Our Mission

Most people have a vision, a dream, or a goal, that seems to most to be impossible. Our goal as a brand is to empower the underdogs. Fight against the odds, rise up, and accomplish your wildest dreams. We are a brand of believers. We are underdogs.

The Story Behind Our logo

Over the course of 350 years until bull-baiting was banned in 1835, bulldogs were bred for aggression, and an 80-pound dog could easily bring down a bull weighing close to a ton by corkscrewing it's own body around it's neck, tossing the bull over it's own center of gravity. Despite a bulldogs lacking in size, it still finds a way, portraying our brand's message and logo.

Founder

Joey Stanizzi

I created this brand because I knew that there were a lot of people
out there just like me. I've played hockey for 15 years and have
competed in extreme challenges like 100 mile ultramarathons.
I've been doubted my whole life by writers, analysts, teammates, coaches,
and more. This concept that there are thousands of external
factors affecting one's own belief system has consumed me. Everyone
has a dream that's worth chasing, and nothing should stop
you from doing that. Let's prove them wrong together. We are the Underdogs.
