Way back then, fighting black and white.
Yes.
Yes, because I started to recognize what it was about.
Basically, somebody had black and white with filming, and I kind of looked at it, and I went to an old gentleman that used to actually do clothing and shoes and so forth in this leather shop, and I asked him, I said,
I want to protect my shins.
You're an older man.
And I said, I want to protect my shins.
You have something.
And he brought out some pads.
And I said, yeah.
And I told him I want to put it around my shins.
So I created the first shin guards.
You were the guy who invented the shin guard?
Yeah.
Oh, that's great.
And I told him, how do we keep it together?
And he said, and he's the one that brought out the Velcro.
And so he put on, he sewed on Velcro on it.
And so I ended up asking him, can you make more of them?
And I started giving to him.
