The Joynt Gets Outfitted by WNDUP FX
|
|
In his new Capcity (Sens Mix) video, The Joynt is proudly sporting a WNDUP FX hat. WNUP FX is an Ottawa-based clothing company that asked The Joynt to come onboard and rep their brand. Peter and WNDUP FX owner, Scot McCormack, worked together to design the logo featured in the video. They wanted a design that had a local-spin to it. So they settled on the “Two Rivers” logo, which represents the two rivers that flow through the city of Ottawa. You can buy the Two Rivers hat and other WNDUP FX gear on the WNDUP FX website.
