something in my home town and give back to a good cause while being able to tie it into my nightclub
Wasted Space as well as my race team.” said Carey Hart, founder of Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company.

“New Era and Hart & Huntington have just recently collaborated on some great styles for Hart &
Huntington’s next season of clothing and this was a great way to kick off the new relationship” continued
Hart.

markets have collaborated with Hart & Huntington’s most talented tattoo artists including Jime Litwalk and

this project with respected artists and an iconic figure such as Carey continues to cement the relationship
between New Era and Hart & Huntington,” comments Action Sports Marketing Manager, Braden Dahl. “Not
only does it create a platform for future initiatives between the two brands; it showcases the creative talent
that both company’s embody. It has and always will be New Era’s strategy to partner with the most

symbolizes that direction.”
