"GOON$" BY GN
As of July 20th, 2020, we will no longer go by "GoonNetwork". Our goal is to promote our message, "Gift Of Originality & Notoriety". In order to double down on this message, we want to eliminate all distractions and detours from our brand. "GoonNetwork" will always be our identity as a brand, but we will now officially drop the "Network", in our name. As of today, we are "goon$ by gn".

We consider "Goon$" to be any young, hard working entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, etc. We support you, as long as you have a dream.
Our main goal since the very beginning has always been to be ourselves. We wanted to create something with our own hands, on our terms, in our way. Conformity was never something we considered, and we want to spread this mindset across not only the DMV, but the entire world.
OUR NAME
The "Goon" in our name stands for, "Gift Of Originality & Notoriety". When somebody hears the word "Goon", the would typically think of a thug, or a hooligan. This is a completely fair and reasonable response, which is exactly why we aren't going to be changing our name.
In today's society, people will judge a lot about your character from your looks. If your dress or cary yourself in a certain way, people will perceive you in a certain way. We, however, believe this should not be the case. We believe that every person should be able to express themselves via their looks or clothes however they want, without being judged for it.
OUR GOAL
Our name is only one example of our, "Don't judge a book by it's cover" mentality. We plan on subverting expectations, one shirt at a time. Essentially, our goal is to normalize not being normal. If everyone wants to do the same things, wear the same things, say the same things, etc., where would fresh ideas come from? Everyone would think the same. We, however, like to promote free thinking.
Our style is clearly differentiated from others in our area. You can spot out one of our shirts from a mile away. This is done purposefully. We want to stand out. We want everybody to stand out. We want to inspire the youth. We want to tell everyone that being different is okay. You shouldn't want to be anyone except yourself. "Goon$" is looking to change the world. Buying a shirt from us is only one way to support our message, but we believe the easiest way is simply to be yourself.
