Hey skklexie!

Haha good questions :slight_smile:

  1. Okay, so the name Variant… sighs… here we go. So Offset’s slogan is “Stand Apart”, I liked how the name Outlier fit in with that slogan, but we couldn’t think of another name. I was really set on “Anomaly” but YYR had released a Yoyo with that name a few weeks prior. Deviant, was thrown into the ring, but it didn’t sound right. So we looked up synonyms for different, and we got Variant. It took some time to let the name grow on us but that’s what we went with.

  2. Yup! We sell a few bearing and t shirts.

  3. Absolutely!! Hit me up and we might even organise a meet with the other Aussie players. I live in Sydney though, just a heads up.
