Our first featured product on the blog is going to be our “Skater Onesie“. Just like all of our onesies it’s 100% cotton, super soft, comes in short sleeve and long, and is perfect for the future Tony Hawks of the world. I never personally was a skater. There were many skaters in my school way back in the… well… way back. I was into BMX and gradually got into a bit of freestyle and then moved on to motocross and doing freestyle on a dirtbike. It’s amazing how having kids really changes your priorities around. I haven’t done squat since my son was born ten years ago.
When I was originally doing our first designs for Crazy Baby I wanted to create something for all the skaters. Even though I don’t skate, I totally dig it and feel a kinship with all of my skater friends. This design was one of the very first designs I ever did. It’s been for sale since day one and continues to sell well. It’s hard sometimes to balance “cute” and “cool” when it comes to baby clothes. I feel this design is a tad bit on the “cute” side. Decent sales numbers tell me it’s still “cool” though.
I had a friend way back in my rock band days who did graphic art. He created a logo for a CD we did back in the late nineties (Glad that is nowhere to be found!). He always created logos with oval backgrounds. I loved that! It gave it a retro feel. I’m positive that’s why I used an oval background on this design. The “retro” look is pretty popular now and that oval background kind of has that a bit. I had seen several designs that looked like a silouette of a skater around the web before I started on this. I just hated to copy that design and now I’m glad I didn’t.
If you skate, if your hubby or man skates, or if you just dig skaters, then this onesie is for you. It’s cool. I promise! You can get this onesie and all of our other punk onesies all day everyday! Shop on!
