The gear that never got the glory
Every kid who ever played had a bat, a ball or a racquet that meant something. The one with the tape on the handle. The one that lived in the boot of the car all summer. Sporting Nation takes those objects, the scuffed and the sun-faded and the well and truly loved, and turns them into photo art.
The range celebrates Australian sport across its golden run from the 1960s through to the 90s. Cricket, football, tennis, golf, soccer and basketball, each one photographed with the kind of care usually reserved for the players rather than the kit. Op shop finds and shed treasures alike, finally getting a bit of attention after decades in the shade of whoever was swinging them.
We stock the gift boxes and the enamel mugs. The gift boxes bundle four pieces together, so there's no wrapping, no guessing and no last-minute dash to find something that isn't a novelty pair of socks.
Who it's for
The dad who still talks about the 1989 Ashes. The mate who plays off a handicap he made up himself. The uncle whose golf swing has been a work in progress since decolonisation. Anyone who spent a childhood on a suburban oval and hasn't quite let it go.
Father's Day, birthdays, Christmas, milestone occasions, or the retirement gift for the bloke who has everything except a decent mug.
