For the Collegian On stage and off, Rekurd Headz, a clothing line introduced by a Penn State student, made its mark Friday night at Collaboration of Mics 5 held in the HUB Alumni Hall. Rekurd Headz, a name with a twist, has the trademark of a stick figure representing the name. The organizers of Friday night's hip-hop celebration, some performers and Ofori himself spread the Rekurd Headz concept by wearing the uniquely designed shirts Friday night. He said his clothes are for people who love music. The idea of Rekurd Headz was first born this past summer, Ofori said.
People do catch on to what's on clothing.
Rekurd Headz is targeted at diverse young students and music lovers of all cultures and backgrounds. Ofori buys shirts, hand-designs the shirts himself and custom makes them on request. Singer and song writer Joshua Wright-Hill wore a specially designed Rekurd Headz shirt for his performance at the Collaboration of Mics Friday night, and the local group Boiling Point flaunted the Rekurd Headz designer logo at the fourth Collaboration of Mics held earlier this semester. The numerous contacts and networking opportunities available while in college are a good starting point to develop and promote an idea, said Ofori, who used this opportunity to make his goal a reality. The college community and residents will soon be familiar with Rekurd Headz, Ofori said.
