BallinEurope shirtWe have been thinking about shirts since the first day. People asked us a lot why we don’t offer shirts with the BallinEurope logo. We just did not think that anybody would really want to run around with a “European Basketball guy”.

A few weeks ago the Basketball Label company 43 made us an offer to host the shirts. They sent us some samples about the quality of the shirts and we very really surprised. Since I am still practicing 4 times a week I am only wearing the “BallinEurope” longsleeve shirt now - yeah - not only because it has our logo on it - the quality is great!

Since we don’t want to get rich with the shirts but spread the image of European Basketball players we will only charge what we have to pay for the shirts: 15 EUR. no.99 no nothing - 15 EUR. Doesn’t matter if short sleeve or long sleeve: 15 EUR.

If you are lucky to live in Germany the shipping will be for free since the company (forthree.com) that produces the shirts is in Germany. For the rest of the world the shipping will be 8 EUR - even if you live at the end of the world.

Now if somebody else than my mother and my girlfriend (haha got you) want to buy that shirt, head over to 43basketball.com to order it.
