Rollerski t-shirts introduced

Our t-shirt design comes with a story. The 'road sign' design was dreamt up by Anglo-Irish-Polish rollerskier, Andy Klimacki, who decided it would be a good idea to have some skiing signs to accompany him when out skiing. An unlikely sight in the depths of the Northern Irish countryside, Andy decided that a couple of signs on the surrounding roads would inform the unsuspecting of his hazardous(?) presence.

In a typically Irish turn of events, he found a couple of unwanted 'Men at Work' signs at the local tip. Seizing the opportunity, he brought the signs back home and immediately instructed his graphics designer to come up with a suitable design, and transform the sign for its new purpose. Joanne McCrum, the ever resourceful designer and friend, mutated a classic skier into a classic rollerskier, and so the design was born.

The 'CAUTION ROLLERSKIERS' design on the t-shirts is a stylised take on the original road sign, and is produced - with very high quality printing - by Spreadshirt in Germany. You can buy the t-shirt here.

We hope you enjoy the t-shirt, and that it helps you explain your presence to whoever you pass rollerskiing! The t-shirt has the design on the front and 'www.rollerski.co.uk' on the back.
