The man behind the brand is the legendary Billy Bowden!
An iconic New Zealand cricket umpire, who gained fame for his distinctive "crooked finger of doom" signal to indicate a player's dismissal. Billy developed this gesture due to arthritis making it painful to raise his hand in the more conventional manner.
The Crooked Finger brand is a celebration of this world famous and iconic gesture. Inspired by Billy's flair and passion, the Crooked Finger is now taking a life of its own, where we create bold, creative and stylish sports apparel that capture the spirit of cricket with a twist!
