(ORIGINAL HAND DRAWINGS ATTACHED) When Justin first moved to Canada he found that his size was tough to find and a lot of the styles he wore to train and in everyday casual wear were tough to come by in Canada. Justin’s self-made & customized gear started as a way for him to still promote his team while out in the community wearing the styles he likes and clothing that actually fit him. The Original JR Football Clothing pieces are what you would call an athlete’s essential wardrobe. The JR Football Logo is one of five hand drawn by Justin after his first season in The CFL. After the success of the jumpsuits, people began requesting the custom made items that Justin had prepared for himself branding the JR logo.To support financially https://anchor.fm/get-on-the-cannabus/supportSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2Xzp4OFpNvByB74jyU0h2HYouTube Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHBCFxfk0G0_AyybiD8CWjTIVE1nPdd05--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/get-on-the-cannabus/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/get-on-the-cannabus/support
