Knurly - who are we

We love weightlifting - and all strength sports.. but mostly weightlifting!

We were created to make T-Shirts that allow us and our customers to to show their love for our sport, in a fun, light-hearted way - with a sense of Style and never too cheesy but always worth a smile from a fellow lifter!

A lot of people has asked me where KNURLY came from - the name itself is pretty recent and daily obvious - Its a blend of the Knurling that appears on all barbells and Gnarly (Cause i like to think we are pretty cool) also if you look up the definition you get something like this.. “full of knots; hard; tough; hence, capable of enduring or resisting much” which we think is a pretty good description of someone that has spent anytime at all being beaten up by a barbell.

The story of the t-shirts is a much older one… I started CrossFit in about 2013 or so and quickly realised that while I loved it (still do to this day) I loved the Olympic Weightlifting side even more and quickly decided to put my effort into training for that.. 2016 was my first international comp and as the original “crew” got serious about training for the World Masters Championships in Japan - I put a design together for the first Competition t-shirt design, then a charity comp shirt another international Comp shirt, Club shirt, Comp Shirt, Charity Shirt… then a few designs of my own just for fun and sold a few along the way.

Now I’ve decided to turn my passion for weightlifting and T-shirt design in to a business - and so here we are..
