Our boy Lang from SLAM magazine mentioned us in his online column on Wednesday.
Lang's the executive editor over at SLAM, plus he writes for the Atlanta Hawks' website and he also pops up on NBA TV all the time.
The other day, in his column The Links for SlamOnline.com, he wrote:
"You remember last year when the guys from 0484 Creative out in SoCal did a street art project they called Represent Kobe? Well, they’re at it again, this time with a more avant garde theme, where they depicted Kobe as Batman. They sent me a shirt which I wore out jogging the other morning, and I got so many double-takes that it was pretty hilarious. You can check that out here."
Since then we've got a couple thousand hits to both this year's and last year's REP KOBE sites and e-mails and phone calls from people wanting to know how and where they can buy shirts. A lot of global interest too, people from India, Canada, Australia, etc. Apparently Kobe (masquerading as Batman) is pretty popular worldwide.
In fact we just got an e-mail from a guy who works at MAXIM in New York and wants a shirt as well. So, I guess the week got a bit better after the rocky start Monday.
Here's a link to the column in case you want to check it out for yourself - it's about halfway down the page.
