Hi, I'm Rob, founder of 22 Unite.

I've always been a creative, but it wasn't until I lost my dad at the age of 20 that I decided to turn that passion into a career. That unexpected moment changed everything and I wanted to better my position and make him proud.

I studied Art & Design before completing a degree in Graphic Design, which eventually led to a career in the sports industry, designing for some of the biggest sports clubs and personalities in the world.

Over the years I've had the privilege of creating kits and apparel across football, rugby, cricket and more, seeing my designs worn on the big stage.

Now I want to bring everything I've learned at the top level back to where it begins in grassroots sport. My aim is to deliver fully bespoke sportswear without the long lead times or premium price tags.

The number 22 has followed me throughout my life. I can't really explain it, but it's a number that's always been there.

Unite represents everything I love about sport, the memories shared, that feeling of togetherness and the communities built along the way.

Whether you're chasing your first win or no one else comes close, I'd love to be on that journey with you.

Let's build something that you'll be proud to wear.

Rob Dearden.
