Garbage time athletics
Garbage Time Athletics is an apparel line by Known to All that celebrates athletes who continue to play sports simply for the love of the game. The phrase “Garbage Time” refers to the handful of minutes at the end of a game, when it is no longer competitive, and often occupied by under appreciated players who, despite their hard work, receive little recognition.
We feel this dedication, without hope of acknowledgement or reward, mirrors the commitment that every athlete makes, who continues to play sports throughout their life simply for the joy it continues to bring them.
The line’s graphics and mascot are inspired by life in New York City. Yes, we concede that New York is not the cleanest city we've ever been to, but the rats and garbage play an important role in shaping the city we love. To love anything is to love all aspects of it, not just the ones that are easily admired. The apple core and the rat represent the less photogenic side of life in New York, far from polished landmarks, but equally as important and deserving of our recognition, like all athletes who continue the life long pursuit of sport.
