Just short note to let everyone know that James Rooney will be taking orders for RoadRunner clothing. More details to come regarding style/design, but it is expected to be for long sleeve tees and singlets. Prices will be dependant on the number of shirts ordered, but at least this time the minimum order is 4 and we can order male & female shirts.

Stay tuned for more...
