How the claw happened

10,000

Someone offered us 10,000 footballs, and we had no idea how we'd shift them. So I asked my mate Jamie.

"Stick them in a claw machine."

Jamie, genius

We never did the footballs. But it got us thinking: what if the prize was a shirt?

£500

So we bought the cheapest claw we could find, filled it with shirts and put our own stickers over it. It looked absolutely crap.

Exhibit A. The original.

Then

It worked anyway, so we built a proper one. We worked with suppliers in China on a machine made for shirts.

They're in bars, clubs and barbers across Northern Ireland and the US. England and Scotland are next on the list.
