Northmen News: :Tell us about your self and what you are involved in.

Senior William Tardy:: I’m involved in Soccer. I have played varsity three years and was a captain this year. I recently started to make and sell clothing to students, teachers, and people in my neighborhood to get my brand and name known around the area.

NN: : What is your brand and what does it stands for?

WT:: My brand is called “Cross Over”, it is an athletic and casual brand like Nike or Under Armour. It stands for “Innovate Greatness”, to become great, or to become successful, which is my dream. I want my brand to become big like Nike or Under Armour.

NN: : How are you advertising your product?

WT:: I have been going around to friends, peers, teachers, and family showing them my designs and asking them if they would like to buy a product from my brand.

NN: : How does one acquire some of your sportswear and what is the cost?

WT:: If you want to buy one of the products I am selling, or want to request a product for future orders you can: call or text me at 1-(816)-673-8696, or email me at [email protected] , or just find me at school. The price of the product depends on what the product is; the material, colors, designs, and size. Hoodies or Crewnecks are more expensive than t-shirts.

NN: : Where do you plan on taking your business?

WT:: My goal is for my clothes to be sold in stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, and other athletic/casual clothing stores. I want to see people on the streets wearing my clothes. I want to be rich and successful.
