Business's bostin twist on face masks
A business has found a way to bring humour into its protective face masks.
Black Country T Shirts, based in Dudley, promotes Black Country culture through its range of memorabilia and gifts.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the business has began creating its own face masks for customers with a twist.
Each mask features greetings in Black Country ‘spake’, famous phrases and the iconic Black Country flag.
Business owner, Stephen Pitts, hoped that the masks would provide a bit of humour for customers during the pandemic.
Stephen said: “Since wearing a mask became mandatory on public transport and the potential for that to be extended to other public places, we were thinking of how these new face coverings can make us feel alienated from each other, obscuring our expressions and importantly smiles.
“It’s been a surprising reminder, seeing each other in masks, how much of our communication is non-verbal.
“So our idea, was to see how we can turn that on it’s head and use the masks to bring people together with our Black Country humour.”
Orders can also be made via their website.
