2011 MODEL SEARCH BEGINS!

Thanks to last years overwhelming turnout we are once again hosting our now annual model search contest, containing female residents from across the United States & Canada. With over 60+ registered potential, upcoming or soon to be models the stakes have never been higher! Due to BERMA's recent success in the action sports & music scene, we were able to sign a distribution deal landing Berma in new markets all across CANADA and soon to announce territories overseas... So again, the stakes have never been higher! The contest is split into two (2) rounds. Round #1 begins 6/6/2011 @ 9:00 PM PST and ends 6/13/2011 @ 9:00 PM PST.. This first round contains every registered model who signed up for the contest. Round #2 contains the top 10 voted for models of round #1 and begins 6/14/2011 @ 9:00 PM PST and ends 6/21/2011 @ 9:00 PM PST in which BERMA will announce its Grand Prize winner and Runner-Up. Last years winners: Alicia Montgomery & Janel Valencia can atest to the level of comfort, promotion and professionalism in winning such a contest with Berma. Once again this years winners will receive modeling contracts, free clothing and much more.

This year we have started something new, instead of voting on our website (bermaclothing.com) like in previous years... this years Model Search will be held on the official BERMA facebook page. Additionally, instead of being able to select just 1 model each time you vote, for this first round we have upped the stakes to 5 models per VOTE! But once again, voters are only allowed to cast votes once an hour.

So for the next two weeks be sure to visit this link (http://www.facebook.com/bermaclothing?sk=app_208199102531641) and vote for your favorite models!!!

LIMITED EDITION "OSAMA GOT PWNED!" T-SHIRT.

Osama Bin Laden... the Founder of Al-Qaeda, was killed in a military attack in Pakistan May 1st, 2011. He was not only the #1 fugative on the FBI's most wanted list but also #1 on the WORLDS TOP 10 MOST WANTED. For all citizens of the US, the devastation caused by the acts on September 11, 2001 not only brought this nation together but united this great country and the rest of the world in accordance to abolish terrorism. And after 10 long years of searching for Osama Bin Laden, whom some claim to be the best "hide and go seek" player of all time, was finally killed. And to commemorate this great day for the USA and the rest of the World, BERMA designed a special "OSAMA GOT PWNED!" t-shirt... Pwned (powned), which is new-age slang for "Owned" brings a youthfull and hip aspect to the design so teens and adults of all ages can show their support for the day most of us thought would never come. The t-shirt is will be exclusivly available in Berma's online-store and only available for a limited run. So until you see a "sold out" next to the item grab it while you can and be one of the lucky few who can proudly say... GOTCHA!

CANADA HERE WE COME!!!

Thats right, you heard it correctly! After months of negotiating the terms and agreement we are proud to announce Berma finalized the deal less then 24 hours ago. With this deal, canadian residents should see the brand in local stores within the next few weeks. As a special incentive to our distribution deal we created a special canadian version of our upcoming "United We Stand" spring t-shirt for the occasion. And what a more fitting title for the t-shirt then MAPLE MULISHA! CANADA... HERE WE COME!

BERMA SPOTTED ON CONAN O'BRIEN (TBS)

We received word that during a segment on CONAN titled "Basic Cable Name That Tune" that aired on TBS 3/28/2011, an audience member was clearly shown wearing our "Graveyard" t-shirt from our Fall/Winter release in 2010. Turns out Los Angeles' own JAMESON vocalist Matt Bomb was in the audience that night reppin' the gear. We received numerous phone calls and emails about the spotting, and even word from UNEARTH frontman/vocalist Trevor Phipps which actually was the first to tip us off of the siting. Be sure to check out the video and see if you can spot Berma as well!!

BERMA SPRING 2011 CATALOG NOW ONLINE!

As of this past week, Orange County action sports brand BERMA released its Spring 2011 catalog. As an eco-friendly brand the catalog will be distributed virally online with only a select amount of copies put to print. Being Berma's third year fully operational (established in 2008) they were able to include a wide & large variety of product for this upcoming Spring season. Being a versatile Action Sports brand, their products reach out not only to the action sports community but the music community as well in hopes to crossbreed the action sports & music world.

"Our products not only sell to the fans of the action sports world, but also due to our band sponsorship program we were able to expand out to kids and adults in the hard rock/heavy metal community who before wouldn't have been caught dead wearing these clothing brands," Said James Kuhl, director of operations at Berma. "Now that we have some of there favorite bands of the scene wearing the gear, it now enables them to look at the brand as something acceptable to wear."

Berma's spring line is the result of feedback from sponsored athletes, bands, retailers and the everyday joe who purchased the product. From surveys of what customers all liked and didn't like, to what they would love for the brand to put on a shirt, gave Berma the know how and inspiration for the Spring collection.
