Thief!





























So, turns out the little guy up there has some history.

Via Facebook:
  • Jared Baize That is a total rip off of the Lexington bike polo man. Weak

  • Frederick Joseph Pecor II Polo art is slim pickings, I found the pic online with no artist attribution. Props to Lexington for the art, and I'm sure the artist would love to know his work was benefiting polo. Never even saw Lexington use this, I found the pic as street art, and if they have a problem I'll take it down.

    Actually, no. The artist goes by the name Blütt, and is a street artist working in Chicago. I first saw his work at the 2008 NACCC polo tournament in Chicago, when he had some of his characters wheat-pasted onto the court boards there. I liked them so much, Schultz shared the artist's name with me and I looked him up. Then, a year or so later, I commissioned him to do a design specifically for Lexington Bike Polo. I paid him for the little polo guy he designed for us, and I printed it onto some of our shirts, and he is also on our flags and other stuff.

    So, while this is another one of Blütt's designs, done in his distinctive style, it's not the same as the Lexington design that he did for us. I'd advise that if you want to continue to use it, at least ask him for permission to do so. But, keep in mind that Lexington has been using one of his designs for a while now. Several of our players actually have it inked onto their bodies!

Long overdue update on the bestest most funnest sport in the daggum universe.

So, I've been pretty bad on keeping this updated but Jax hardcourt bike polo is still going strong! We've kept most of our updates on our facebook page, but the blog will be updated weekly for all your polo need to knows. Polo will be happening this Sunday, Novemeber 21st, Bikes and mallets provided, so come on out and have some fun with us!

New fliers!
