ABOUT TAKE TWO
Made by a fan. For the fans.
Take Two started because I'm a Leeds fan.
Like most Leeds supporters, I've spent plenty of money over the years on football stuff. At one point I bought a Leeds T-shirt from another company, but when it arrived the quality just wasn't good enough. I sent it back.
But rather than just looking for somewhere else to buy one, I thought:
I can do better than this.
I already had a sports clothing business, so I knew how to make good-quality garments. I also had a bit of a platform through my football TikTok page.
So I thought, why not make the kind of Leeds merchandise I'd actually want to buy?
And that's where Take Two began.
More than just a T-shirt
From the start, I knew there were things Leeds fans wanted to wear that went beyond the usual football merchandise.
Players we loved.
Quotes we'd remember.
Songs we'd sing.
Moments that we'd never forget.
The things that make you say "I remember that."
At the time, there weren't many companies making Leeds-specific fan merchandise, and the ones I found often felt like they were doing it cheaply. The designs weren't great, the garments weren't great, or both.
I loved what Art of Football were doing, but their stuff was expensive enough that I could only justify buying the odd T-shirt.
The Square Ball had some great merchandise too, but clothing wasn't their main focus.
I thought there must be other Leeds fans like me who wanted good-quality clothing, great designs and something that actually meant something, without having to spend a fortune.
So I decided to make it.
Capturing Leeds
That's still what Take Two is all about today.
Leeds United football culture.
Not just what's happening on the pitch, but everything around it.
The players.
The managers.
The goals.
The chants.
The characters.
The ridiculous moments.
The memories.
The things that happened on the terraces.
The things you remember from watching Leeds with your mates, your family or on your own.
We take those moments and turn them into things you can wear.
Because the best football memories shouldn't disappear when the final whistle goes.
By the fans, for the fans
"By the fans, for the fans" isn't just a slogan.
It means the designs are made by someone who gets it.
I'm a Leeds fan too. I know the players, the moments, the songs, the jokes and the memories because I've lived them just like you have.
The difference is that I know how to take those ideas and turn them into something you can actually wear.
And I also know that people work hard for their money.
If you're spending your money on a Take Two T-shirt or hoodie, I want you to feel like what you've received is worth every penny.
Good design.
Good quality.
Something you'll actually want to wear.
The best bit?
Honestly, it's seeing people wearing Take Two.
Especially when I spot someone wearing a design at a match or see someone posting their Take Two gear online.
Because I know that person isn't just wearing a T-shirt.
They're wearing something connected to a player they loved, a moment they remember or a part of Leeds United that means something to them.
And I love that.
It's even better when someone buys Take Two as a gift.
Because then you know they've thought:
"This is so them."
The Take Two idea
We're not trying to make football clothing for everyone.
We're making things for people who understand why that player, that goal, that chant or that moment matters.
We want to capture the best Leeds moments and turn them into products you can wear forever.
Take Two Football.
By the fans. For the fans.
