Fauxback Co. is all about celebrating the nostalgia of sports through unique, vintage-inspired apparel. Inspired by retro sports logos, classic character illustrations, and modern-day streetwear, Fauxback creates fan apparel for the present day, inspired by styles of the past. The name "Fauxback" comes from the idea of a fake throwback, or a vintage design that only appears to be retro, but is in fact new.
As a one-man operation based in New York City with roots in the Carolinas, I started out by creating faux throwbacks mostly for the teams I grew up cheering for; teams that didn't exist in the actual 'vintage' era. After all, what's more nostalgic than imagining what could have been?"
My first Grand Prix experience was attending the Canadian GP with friends. At the time I wasn't an F1 or racing fan, and didn't have any favorite team or driver. I loved the experience and atmosphere of Circuit Charles Villeneuve, but couldn't find a decent t-shirt or any merch reflecting the setting of the race. Much like the vintage sports designs that didn't exist for my favorite teams, I decided to make my own and the Circuit Collection was born.
While most F1 merchandise focuses on racing teams or specific drivers, this collection is unique in that it centers around the circuits themselves. Each design is carefully crafted with extensive research into famous views and notorious corners of the most legendary circuits in the sport. From the twists and turns of Monaco to the sweeping vistas of Spa, each design is inspired by the iconic circuits that have challenged and thrilled racers for decades.
Drawing inspiration from vintage photography, posters, and typography from around the world, every piece in the collection reflects the beauty and excitement of the circuits that make every race a unique and interesting experience.
Please note that I handle all aspects of Fauxback Co. on my own, from designing the shirts to managing orders and customer service. Thanks to print-on-demand methods, I'm able to offer a wide range of designs without the need for a large team. It's just me, my passion for sports design, and a drive to bring the past to life.
