Dave Phillips, a screenprinter from San Francisco, turned his love for vintage baseball into a successful venture by producing rosin bags for Major League Baseball. His journey began in 2013 when he created t-shirt designs for imaginary teams like the San Francisco Pelicans, only to discover real vintage players who adored his designs. Joining a historical baseball league enhanced his passion, leading him to develop accessories that helped players maintain grip on the ball, showcasing a unique blend of his artistic skills and love for the game.
Phillips started printing shirts of imaginary baseball teams as a way to keep his designs after being approached by Ebbets Field Flannels about licensing issues.
His experience with vintage baseball reinvigorated his passion and led him to create baseball accessories that would incorporate his screenprinting skills.
Phillips found beauty in vintage baseball's friendly competitiveness, which deviated from the modern game's intensity, leading to his obsession with baseball gear.
He identified a market need for sticky products to help baseball players maintain grip on the ball, especially in variable weather conditions.
