Humberto and Carol feel strongly that sports and music go hand-in-hand, so they decided to ask some of their favorite musicians to give them an inspirational lyric that gets them pumped-up and ready for any competition. These lyrics will be screened onto a limited number of T-shirts and available, starting on the 8th (upon the commencement of the Olympics), at their stores. The proceeds from this project will go towards a China earthquake relief fund. See full article with artist interviews.
