It all started when I was a high-school athlete in the 204 area code and had to wear the same jersey that another kid wore the previous year. It was smelly, it was uncomfortable, not to mention it was the wrong size. That didn’t inspire me!
A few years later I was pumped to join a Men’s basketball league and was tasked to be the “Equipment Manager”, in other words, we needed a new set of jerseys. I was stoked, I was excited only to find that I have three choices to choose from a catalog that looked older than my mom, sorry Ma!. That didn’t motivate me to play and how was I supposed to get the other nine guys motivated as well.
I guess you could say back then everything was cookie-cutter but times certainly have changed, the jerseys have become more breathable, more fashionable, more durable, more affordable, customizable and ultimately more accessible. I wanted to stimulate the creative juices within all of us and challenge ourselves on what is truly a customized product.
Hence the birth of 204 Customs, combining roots and passion. Ultimately the three words below define what 204 Customs is all about.
Inspire – To stimulate to action; motivate
Artistic Inspiration may come from an illustration, a photograph, a color palette, a piece of music, a web design … wherever that motivation comes from, we at 204 Customs would like to make that inspiration come to life. We can take your ideas and work with you on options to get you the best product possible with creative influence, quality, delivery time and budget in mind.
Create – To produce through artistic or imaginative effort
It’s easy to be inspired but creating it is not easy.
We can turn your designs from a pencil sketch on a piece of napkin to a full blown hoodie with your custom logo to sport around in. We will work with you in fine tuning your designs and have you approve that artwork before we get it to final production. We also want to educate you about the various materials and their applications.
Play – To occupy oneself in amusement, sport, or other recreation
The concept of Play is more of a satisfaction to us at 204 Customs. You have been inspired. You have created your vision and now you should be able to reap in the rewards by slipping on that new jersey and be proud of it. If you have any other questions hit us up through our Email form.
At 204 Customs, we want to be the source for all your customization needs whether it’s for the regular season, tournaments, fundraisers, corporate events or just something casual.
