My Vision
Hello again Everyone!!
I just wanted to tell you a little more about me, the brand, and the goals that I have. My vision.
My name is Vicki Bushrow. I am the creator, the owner, and the designer for UnContested Streetwear. I am located in Arizona.
I do all the designs, the social media, and the blog writing. I have another company print the designs and ship to customers for me. Since I am a company of one, this was the best way for me to concentrate on designing and selling. It is because of doing things this way that I am subjected to trademark and copywrite laws. My printing company doesn't want to get into any trouble and neither do I.
Amendment: I have talked with my printing company, and they have given me some advice and we have found a way to proceed without infringing on anyone or anything.
I have no formal training or education on designing. I have been teaching myself in my spare time. I am currently going to school for Sports Management. I found the section about marketing to the fan base really interesting. Brand marketing. To keep current fane base engaged while also trying to attract new fans. The goal when finishing school would be to work for a WNBA team. Something about school awoken this desire in me to trying designing women's basketball merchandise.
The goals with the clothing brand are to hopefully build a community of like-minded people who just love and want to see women succeed on and off the court. I would love to travel to the different WNBA cities and experience their basketball cultures. This would help for inspiration for my designs. I plan to write about the experiences here and also film/post to socials to show everyone. I would really like to do some collabs with players/teams as well as other brands like Playa Society, and Round21. The biggest goal would be to get the brand officially licensed by the WNBA to sell merchandise in the team shops and at the online team stores. It would be so awesome to be an impactful part of this amazing and fantastic league.
I hope that this gives you a better understanding of who I am and who the brand is. Stay tuned to see what's next. Don't forget to follow on Facebook and Instagram.
Thank you,
Vicki Bushrow
