Two brothers.Four countries.One obsession.
The beautiful game — and decent kit.
We're two brothers who've been kicking a football around together since we could walk. From backyard battles to weekend league matches, the game has always been a big part of our lives. Over the years, we've lived and played football across Germany, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Canada — bringing our boots (and banter) to every pitch we could find.
In high school, we fell in love with the social side of the sport — joining rec leagues, building teams with friends, and bonding over post-match chats (and questionable goalkeeping). But one thing always bugged us: team kits. Official jerseys were way too pricey, the budget options looked like gym class leftovers, and sourcing directly from overseas was hit or miss — with quality and delivery timelines all over the place.
We started KRANIQ with a simple goal: help social footballers look sharp and feel proud in custom kits that don't break the bank.
We want to make it easy, fast, and actually fun to design a jersey your team will love — because the only thing better than scoring goals is looking good while doing it.

Co-founderGrew up supporting 1. FC Nürnberg in Germany before the move to New Zealand, but somewhere along the way started cheering for Manchester United — that hasn't been going too well. By day I'm an ER doctor in NZ, and by evening (when the roster allows) I line up for my social team with mates.

Co-founderAlso grew up in Germany cheering for 1. FC Nürnberg before moving to New Zealand as a teenager — picked up Liverpool along the way too, because apparently one heartbreak club wasn't enough. Now based in Canada working through a PhD, but most weeks you'll still find me on a pickup pitch somewhere, or turning out for my social league side on weekends.
