Hit Like a Girl

How roller derby inspired my screen printing project

[tw-column width=”one-half”]Every year we are given the task of designing something at work, just for the fun of it. Last year we customised Stormtrooper helmets and this year we have screen-printed our own t-shirt designs. There was no brief other then we were to feature the Red Central logo somewhere within the design. My design was inspired by my love of playing roller derby. Roller derby is a sport that teaches not only how to skate backwards whilst looking cool, but also that falling down is a good thing.[/tw-column]

Getting hit down and repeatedly getting back up not only builds great thigh muscles but also great mental strength. Working in an all-girl team, we support one another through not only our sport, but the thick and thin of our lives. I designed this t-shirt in recognition of our sisterhood. We are all capable of achieving whatever we want.
