We can start a gang of our own and call ourselves "The Boardsies".

Probably spend most of the time arguing amongst ourselves though.

I actually prefer the company's motto on their logo: Buy a shirt or **** off

Can't imagine many have been sold but nice bit of publicity. You'd need to be very brave/stupid to walk around some parts of Dublin wearing one but at least you won't get mugged I suppose

There was already a boards.ie t-shirt. It was sold via Qwertee and proceeds went to charity.

This is just great advertising for this company.

Why does Team Hutch only get knuckledusters while Team Kinahan get guns? That's a fierce travesty...

You think it would be the other way around, the Kinahans being more closely aligned with travellers and boxing.

Anyway yes, this is a masterstroke by the clothing company who have now stirred up enough publicity to sell novelty clothing with an Irish twist. Hairy Baby have had the monopoly for years, so these guys needed a way to get their name out.

Daithi De Roiste has fallen for it hook, line & sinker and given the company priceless amounts of exposure. Although knowing Ireland I wouldn't be surprised if he's connected to the company in some way.

I'm sick of when people ask who is my favourite drugs gang, I respond with the Hutch Gang and then they follow up with "Yeah but who is your Mexican gang"?

Too many plastic fans of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas. You just know that they only started supporting them when they got big.

Yeah right, like man city shirts and ed sheeran tickets they were snapped up by real fans instantly, can't wait to see the real fans supporting their gang by wearing these clothes around the city shortly.

Anyone dumb enough to buy and wear one of them kinda asks for whatever response they get really.

That was a real 3AM after a night on the sauce idea. Curious as to how well they sold!

Paul Williams has claimed that anybody who purchases a Craic Clothing hoodie in support of a drugs cartel is an "utter tramp" who deserves to be "shot to bits" themselves.
