In
2004 Nemesis Fight Gear was created with the
intent to help promote young and upcoming
mixed martial arts competitors. The concept
behind the artwork used with Nemesis Fight
Gear was fighter based and gym friendly. We wanted to keep things basic and simple. We also developed a couple
of signature t-shirts for our original sponsored fighters (UFC veteran Mike Ciesnolevicz, former #1 Contender for the UFC welterweight Title Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy and UFC veteran Sherman "The Tank" Pendergarst). Nemesis Fight Gear has been a huge learning experience.
With
every journey in life and business, you eventually
come to twists and turns in the road. So instead
of abandoning Nemesis Fight
Gear, we decided to branch out in a new direction
with a second line of clothes. The focus of
Nemesis Fight Gear is still being followed
today, but range and scope of a company with
"Fight Gear" in the name is limited.
In
early 2008 I got the itch to stray away from
the Nemesis Fight Gear line.
But the only problem was I didn't know where
to begin. I still wanted to show my support
to MMA, but I didn't want the normal tough
guy shirts. Nothing worse than seeing a guy
walk around with his chest puffed out trying
to act like a bad ass because of the name/
logo on his shirt.
In
the spring of 2008 I had the opportunity to
start working with a very talented artist out of the Southern
California area. He has been able to take
my strange thoughts & ideas and turned
them into some pretty cool designs. And Harm Industries was launched. Don't accept the knock offs. Of late a few other Baltimore brands are trying to cash in on their desire to brand themselves as being from the city or town of Harm. For those not from Baltimore, our city has the nickname Charm City. Because of the Violent Crimes & Murder rate in Baltimore, the city is widely known as Harm City.
