Some things in life come full circle in a way you never expect.When I first started making and selling caps, I remember sending Molly a message asking if I could get a photo of her wearing one of my caps. At the time I was only just starting out and trying to get the brand seen. Molly messaged me back and said:
“Sorry mate, I’m sponsored and not allowed.”
I remember thinking, fair enough. I replied saying “No problem” and carried on building. No hard feelings just respect. Fast forward to a few months later and something happened I never saw coming.
Molly messaged me. She asked if I’d like to sponsor her for her next fight. I honestly couldn’t believe it. For a small Liverpool brand like ours, built from scratch with big dreams and long nights, it was an unbelievable opportunity. What made it even more special was that Molly was fighting in our home city Liverpool.
We met up, had a proper chat and I showed her some cap designs and ideas I had been working on. Molly loved them, and from that conversation the Meatball Molly Edition Cap was born. Fight night came and it was surreal. Molly’s whole corner was wearing the caps.
The cameras were rolling, the fight was on TV and suddenly this little brand that started with an idea was being seen by millions of people.
Then to top it all off…Molly won. Watching that moment felt bigger than just seeing a cap on television. It was seeing belief, support and opportunity all come together. Sometimes you just need someone to open a door for you.
Molly, thank you for giving us that opportunity. I genuinely will never forget what you did for me and the brand.
OUR PEOPLE. OUR HEART. OUR CITY.
