I SIMPLY LIKED THE WORD EVEN IF I DIDN’T KNOW WAS MEANT. A BUDDY OF MINE ALWAYS SAID: “ I’M SO SIKED FOR…” I TOOK A LOOK AND FOUND OUT THAT IT MEANS “EXCITED” DERIVED FROM THE WORD “PSYCHED”. AND THIS FITS THE MOTIVES THAT I THINK OF THE ENTIRE DAY. WHY CLOTHING? WHERE’S THE MOTIVES FROM? I ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE MY OWN GEAR BECAUSE I NEVER FOUND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. SO I BEGAN TO DEVELOP MY OWN
STUFF. THINGS I EXPERIENCED OR DREAMED LEAVE THEIR MARK, STUFF I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE ON A SHIRT. THE SIKED LOGO (SPIKE) IS MY FAMILIES COAT OF ARMS AND GOES BACK THE THIRTEEN HUNDREDS. I JUST WANTED IT TO FLOURISH AGAIN. SO SIKED MIRRORS MY FAMILIES HISTORY AS WELL AS MY YOUTH, MY TIME IN AUSTRALIA, MY MATES…
WHAT GOAL DO I HAVE? I’M NOT IN FOR THE MONEY IT’S MORE OF A HOBBY. AFTER TRAVELING THE WORLD AND PLAYING IN A HARDCORE BAND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. OF COURSE DO THE MOTIVES TELL OF MY YOUTH, FAMILY AND MATES BUT I THINK EVERYONE CAN PICTURE THEIR OWN STORY FOR THEIR SHIRTS. I’D LIKE TO LEAVE THAT TO YOU. I’M INTERESTED WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT MY STUFF AND WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS BEHIND IT. THE PHILOSOPHY? SIKED IS NO RANDOM LABEL BUT THE STORY OF A LIFE. WHAT’S INSIDE YOUR HEART?! LOVE DAN # # #
