So, whats the story with derbylove.

derbylove was started right out of our love of derby. We are derby born and raised. As this sport grows there will be a lot of merchandisers out to make a few bucks on the rise of derby, without having the slightest interest in the development and real grouth of the sport. Thats not derbylove.

PUNKROCK PHIL

I stated that we are derby born and raised, and we are. This company is run by Punkrock Phil, Chip Queso, and Friction VixXxen. With a combinded derby life of nearly 15 years. Punkrock Phil, whose wife is Dagger Deb, was involved from nearly the beginning. Dagger Deb having been a member of the Bad Girls Good Women Organization just prior to the split. From the ashes the Texas Rollergirls was formed, and at that point they needed a logo. Punkrock Phil and Dagger Deb worked together to come up with the Fighting Skater girl. One part Charlies Angels, one part The Fighting Irish, one part Mudflap girl. From that point on Punkrock Phil has designed a number of posters, flyers, buttons, stickers, and T-shirts for the league. He was also instrumental in the development of the Honky Tonk Heartbreakers 3 season undefeated run, and is currently Coaching the Hotrod Honeys as well as the Texecutioners, the Texas Rollergirls Travelling team.

CHIP QUESO

Chip Queso has announced at a multitude of leagues accross the country, and has seen the development first hand from a spectators veiwpoint, and can attest to its longevity.
