We had a chance to talk with the owner of Humble Flourish Brand, Rufus Williams
What’s the mission of the brand?
No matter what you do thrive in every environment and always remember your humble beginnings
How did you get connected with Draymond?
One of my college friends Nick Matthews is actually his business manager. He reached out to me and told me that Draymond had an idea for a shirt. So we connected him with our in-house designer to bring his idea to life. Once he got the design back he said he loved it! He knew that we had the expertise in the t-shirt business. So from there, we worked out a licensing deal and the rest is history.
How did the deal come about with Dunk contest?
When Draymond was interviewed on ESPN and asked about the shirt, he mentioned that Nick had it made for him. A lot of people assumed that Nick was Nick Swinmurn, a minority owner of the team. Nick Swinmurn is also the founder of Zappos and owner of Dunk Contest, which sells NBA licensed merchandise. After receiving tons inquiries as the presumed Nick behind the Quickie Tee, he reached out to Draymond’s team. At that point my college friend Nick (Matthews) helped out the deal together. Now, you can purchase your Quickie Tee at the Dunk Contest stores in Oakland,CA
What’s next?
We just want to continue to make dope ass designs. Our next design is really focused on celebrating the culture. Look for that to be released soon
Where can people shop?

This past Thursday the 2017 NBA Champions followed tradition by having a parade in the teams’ hometown, Oakland.

As the Warriors are enjoying the celebration with the fans, all eyes are drawn to Draymond Green’s shirt.
It resembles the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Arena Logo Owned by Quicken Loans.
However if you look closer, the familiar enlarged Q is for the word Quickie and is paired with a picture of the championship trophy!
He also added that it was simply petty revenge against LeBron James who wore a Ultimate Warrior shirt to the Cavs Championship Parade Last Year.
