KARL BUECHNER (VOCALIST FOR EARTH CRISIS) GAVE ME THIS JERSEY WHILE WE WERE ON TOUR TOGETHER BACK IN I THINK 1997 WHEN I WAS SINGING FOR MY OTHER BAND SKARHEAD AT THE TIME. THE TOUR WAS EATH CRISIS, HATEBREED, MADBALL & SKARHEAD. ONE THAT YOU WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN I’M SURE. THIS WAS THE TOUR I WAS ON WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD CANCER. AFTER ACTUALLY DYING 2 TIMES & FIGHTING THIS ROTTEN DEVIL FOR A 5 YEAR BATTLE THEN ULTIMATELY BEATING THE HELL OUT OF IT…I’VE COME TO REALIZE WHAT THIS JERSEY MEANT TO ME AS I WORE IT PROUDLY OVER THE YEARS ON AND OFF THE STAGE (w/ SUBZERO) TILL THIS DAY. AMONGST MANY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS…IT AS WELL HELPED INFLUENCE ME TO START MY LIONHEARTED CREW CLOTHING COMPANY AND ALSO REALIZE THAT EVEN A NAME ON A SHIRT COULD BE JUST AS POWERFUL AS A GOOD WORD OF ADVICE OR COMFORT FROM A FRIEND. IT’S A REMINDER TO ME AS IT REPRESENTS SOMETHING I’VE BEEN THROUGH AND STRUGGLED WITH AND OVERCAME AFTER A MORBID BATTLE. IT’S ALL PART OF THE PMA MY FRIENDS. THE POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE. IT IS HALF THE BATTLE. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR STRUGGLES ARE. FOCUS AND YOU CAN OVERCOME! LIONHEARTED CREW 2010! COURAGE! STRENGTH! PRIDE! LIONHEARTED!!! NEVER GOING DOWN! THIS WORLD IS MINE!!!!

I’VE WORN THIS JERSEY PROUD AND I HATE TO PART WITH IT AS IT HOLDS SO MUCH MEANING TO ME, BUT IT’S TIME TO MOVE IT ALONG TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL WEAR IT JUST AS PROUD AND CARRY THE MESSAGE THEN PASS IT ALONG WHEN HE OR SHE IS READY. KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY OR DON’T BY IT!!!!! -LOU DI BELLA/SUBZERO/LIONHEARTED CREW
