Richard had the following to say about Black and Blue:

"Judy and I have known Elli, Gary and Angie for over 15 years now and we consider them amongst our closest friends. They have always passionately supported us over the years and for that we are sincerely thankful.

Their Black and Blue clothing has been simply fantastic for us. The beautiful designs and bright colours of their sports wear mean that we always feel comfortable knowing we have a great outfit for almost any event.

We are always so eager to support Black and Blue because of the thought that Gary puts into the sportswear that gives us the confidence in knowing that, whether we are at a Sporting event or a casual outing, we will always look and feel our best. I can't tell you how many compliments we get from our friends in LA when we wear the Black and Blue gear. 

The line really is world class both in quality and design. We laugh, because every  time we get to come back to Oz, we can't wait to hook up with Elli and Gary and Angie to check out any new gear on the racks and sit down and have a great meal, laugh and a wine and catch up on all the gossip.

We sincerely look forward to many more years of support and association with Black and Blue, not just because of the friendship, but because we genuinely love the product.

Sincerely,

Richard Norton and Judy Green.'
