As part of my continuing quest to scour the internets for boxer shirts, clothing and such (here's the original post and my first follow-up), I've come across another company I missed up to this point:
Remetee: Based in California, this clothing company was founded by one of the creators of Affliction, and it shows in both the design (skull-heavy) and price (not cheap) of its clothing.
It's also run into some bad luck supporting some talented boxers. Sharp-eyed fans may have noticed Victor Ortiz and the guys in his corner were decked out in Remetee right before he got knocked out by Marcos Maidana. Also this James Kirkland signature shirt probably seemed like a good idea until a few months ago.
Also for sale is a Ricky Hatton shirt (with no skulls!) and an event shirt for Hatton's demolition at the hands of Manny Pacquiao.

Kirkland Pinched on Gun Charge; Status for May 2 Unknown
Power-punching James Kirkland, rapidly becoming a BoxingWatchers favorite, has had another run-in with the law.
As reported by ESPN's Dan Rafael and subsequently echoed around the internets, Kirkland was picked up by police yesterday in Austin, Texas and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. It's too early to know if the arrest will jeopardize his appearance on the Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton undercard on May 2, but since he was already on probation, smart money says it could be a problem.
Legal trouble put Kirkland on the shelf once already, taking him out of the boxing ring from November 2003 to April 2006. If he's forced to miss more time, it will further weaken a 154-pound division that is light on top young talent outside of Paul Williams (who fights at multiple weights anyway) and Alfredo Angulo.
