With experience spanning over 15 years in the print and clothing industry, the idea of launching a clothing brand has always lingered in the back of our minds. However, it wasn't until the last three years, marked by involvement in local Triathlon and Running clubs, that this concept truly began to take shape.
At Rackd we've always been passionate about quality garments, our extensive experience in the printing industry fused with the dynamic world of sports has inspired us to create a clothing brand that not only reflects our dedication to style but also caters to the unique demands of athletes.

Crafting the perfect brand name proved to be our biggest challenge in the journey so far. We aimed to encompass a wide range of sports and training activities, while also ensuring our name stood out with distinction. We understood the pivotal role a name plays in defining the essence of a brand. It needed to resonate with athletes, trainers, and enthusiasts across various disciplines, yet possess a unique charm that would set us apart in a crowded market.
"Rack your bike in Transition, rack your bike on a coffee ride, rack your weights at the gym, racking up personal bests." These simple yet profound ideas served as the guiding lights on our journey towards discovering the essence of our brand. They encapsulated the versatility, passion, and drive that define the diverse world of sports and fitness.
In the bustling transition area of a triathlon, where athletes seamlessly transition from one discipline to another, the image of neatly racked bikes represents order, efficiency, and readiness for the next challenge. It's a moment of anticipation, of adrenaline-fueled excitement as athletes gear up for the next leg of their journey.
On leisurely coffee rides, where cyclists gather to share stories, camaraderie, and the simple joy of riding, the act of racking one's bike takes on a different meaning. It becomes a symbol of community, of connection, of shared experiences tied together by the love of cycling and the open road.
At the gym, amidst clanging weights and determined grunts, the sight of racked weights signifies dedication, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of strength and endurance. It's a testament to the sweat and sacrifice that go into leading a healthy and functional lifestyle.
In the realm of personal achievements, where athletes push their limits, defy expectations, and shatter records, every milestone reached is akin to racking up personal bests. It's a celebration of progress, of growth, of the indomitable spirit that drives us to surpass our own boundaries time and time again.
It was amidst these moments of inspiration, reflection, and realisation that the concept of Rackd was born. It's more than just a name; it's a testament to the universal language of athleticism, a rallying cry for those who dare to dream, to strive, to rack up their victories, both on and off the field. It's a reminder that greatness lies not in the destination, but in the journey—the countless moments racked up along the way that define who we are and what we stand for.
