About ODDGODS™

ODDGODS™ are the creation of Jon Phillips, a graphic designer/illustrator living in Cardiff .

Most people have someone they look up to whether it be their mum/dad, brother/sister, popstar/moviestar, there's always someone you admire, in this case “The Sports Personality” comes into the equation.

As an avid fan of rugby, during the 6 Nations 2005 Jon decided to pay tribute to one of his favourite players by creating a character dedicated to him, in this case it was Adam Jones, the tighthead prop for Wales . He printed the character onto a t-shirt and wore it out in Cardiff . The response from the general public was overwhelming, with many asking where they could get one or even have the one off his back!

The next day the wheels were set in motion, and with the help, encouragement and advice from friends, family, the WDA, and Business In Focus, Jon set up a company called “Touchline Design”, and created more “ ODDGOD ” characters. He contacted the WRU to get them onside to gain the“image rights” of the players and was put in contact with “Team Wales Rugby”, a company set-up to look after the rugby players various interests. From here “ ODDGODS ” has taken its first steps…

The ODDGODS lend themselves not just to rugby, keep your eyes peeled for further character developments in the near future…
