I started You Got Me Back in 2024 to combine two things that I love, creative design and the beautiful game of soccer. One can only have so many red tops brandishing your favorite club. When looking for something other than official team merchandise, the options felt too similar and far too limited. 

When you love and live the game, you find yourself getting up at dawn to watch your club. You travel long hours to get to tournaments. You watch train, sweat, and bruise, then wake up and do it all again. I’ve been on the pitch as a player and a referee. I’ve been on the sidelines as a Coach and as a parent. I've been in the stands watching some of the world's biggest clubs. Each experience strengthens my love for soccer and inspires me to translate that love into fun expressions for the entire soccer community.

Why "You got me back"? After watching my daughters play in countless matches one phrase the players repeated stuck out to me: "You got me back". Sometimes shortened to "you got me", it always had a comforting sentiment. A player further back lets a forward player know that the back pass is safe if they run into pressure. I like to think that YGMB has your back, figuratively and literally with fresh, creative, and current soccer lifestyle apparel.
