There are many groups and communities around the world that are not as visible as others. One of them is the Special Operations community. This community, can almost only relate to each other due to experiences that only they can understand. The training and combat deployments Special Operations members go through isn’t something a common citizen or military member can easily comprehend. In this time where people are forced to operate in distance more than ever, it’s a wonder how Special Operations members can deal with the feeling of constant isolation despite being used to working so far away from home. Thus, Hoodlums & Brigands is designed to foster a sense of community among other members of the Special Operations community in this highly digital world.
Hoodlums & Brigands started as an Instagram meme page, catering to the members of the Special Operations community. The founders hoped that the laughter Hoodlums & Brigands brought would help others with their mental health and ultimately reminding their followers, that they are not alone. People have certainly appreciated their efforts and continue to support Hoodlums & Brigands to include when Hoodlums & Brigands decided to establish a lifestyle brand.
Currently, there are four main categories that interested buyers can choose from on their website at http://hoodlumsandbrigands.com/. These are Contraband, Apparel, Lifestyle, and Limited. Many are highly satisfied with the quality of their products. Their simple and well-constructed products appeal to their customers who have generously left a ton of good reviews which can be seen on their site as well. It can be said that Hoodlums & Brigands have successfully built a community centered around brotherhood, solidarity, good vibes, and understanding. Somehow, the brand manages to humanize and boast about the military members who make up the Special Operations community. It has given their tagline “Don’t Be A Coward,” a refreshing context with what they are offering. Indeed, Hoodlums & Brigands is not only a brand but a lifestyle fueled with aspirations and values.
One of the founders, Antonio Rey Rodriguez, who was killed in action on February 8, 2020, in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan is actually the one who wanted to create merchandise for the page. The other founder under the pseudonym “Max” persevered to continue the vision of his brother. For sure, Antonio is proud of what Hoodlums & Brigands has become. People can also send their support to the SFC Antonio Rey “ROD” Rodriguez Foundation to help aid veterans and their families. More information about this and their products can be found on their website.
