Red or Orange?


Cryptic eh? This is the kind of question that floats around the office from time to time and these sorts of choices are always guaranteed to split us firmly down the middle! What can be tricky about the question? Though it's certainly an inevitability that at least one of us will storm out the office, flailing our arms and slamming the door on the way out...............before creeping back in with head bowed before finally agreeing that the other option was correct after all! (and if all else fails we'll have a democratic arm wrestle!!)


We gather feedback and opinions from our goalkeepers (professional, grass roots and juniors) and act upon this but ultimately we, as directors, have the casting vote and this is what can create World War Three within WarbyGK, and in truth, this is the facinating thing about our line of business..............everybody, and I mean literally everybody, has opinions (though mine are the only right ones!). For example I swear by Puma Kings but others wouldn't swap their Copa Mundials, I love Flat Palms but others will only wear Roll Fingers, I have a preference for Jessica Simpson (after the beautiful Mrs Warby of course) others may prefer Megan Fox - everybody is different and everybody believes they're right! It is our job to try and provide for the majority and this is never an easy quest, certainly in the world of goalkeeper gloves as goalkeepers are very picky about what they wear. I can remember when I was about 12 buying a brand new pair of Sondico's for a school game, I lasted in them for about 15 minutes before opting to play the rest of the game bare handed as I just didn't like them and couldn't get on with them. My team mates ripped me for several weeks after but they wouldn't understand the psychology of a goalkeeper in that everything has to be just so. My socks were always pulled as high as they can go and then folded over (fold over reaching nearly my ankles!), I couldn't have my sleeves tucked into my wrist strap and my shorts had to be tied up so tight I often broke the string! Any slight change to this preperation would guarantee a non focussed performance and this is the market I chose to make my business because we at WarbyGK understand you..........we know these little quirks that we all have, and by having these heated arguments means that we can continue to develop our range and to be able to offer you the best products available (online at http://www.warbygk.com/ hint hint!).
