We Are Devious Bowling

Hi, I’m Ethan and I’ve been bowling since 2022.  

What began as a fun way to fulfill my high school gym credit spiraled into a small obsession with the sport. I joined our high school bowling team as a sophomore never having really bowled before and while I only averaged a 146.9 that first year, I worked hard to learn everything I could about the sport. And I practiced intensely – waking up early and bowling after school four to five times a week.  

By my junior year, I help lead my Varsity bowling team and upped my average to 200.9.

But it wasn’t just the sport I loved. The camaraderie among the bowlers within the bowling community really inspired me to enter a number of tournaments and travel all around the state of Ohio. It was at these tournaments that I noticed most bowlers had jerseys. A lot of them were the same and didn’t really fit the personalities of the people I meet. The designs felt dated, and I wanted something different.

I began shopping for a bowling jersey that felt more like me (and less like everyone else) but I had trouble finding any that were both stylish and affordable – two things important to bowlers my age.

After talking to my dad about it, we decided with my bowling network and his design skills, we could create a custom jersey business. Our focus was on learning what was unique about each bowler or each bowling team and design a jersey that really showcased their individual style.

And that’s how Devious Bowling began. After all, why fit in when you can roll out in style?
