Why "R30"?
The meaning behind "R30" — Rojo's Legacy and his number #30
Brand Origin Story
Numbers have a bigger impact than you think. Goalkeeper #1. Best in the team #10. The fastest wingers #7/#11. Solid defenders, unstoppable walls #2/3/4/5. Goal scoring machine #9. The pivot who escapes pressure aka Defensive Mid #6. The playmaker, the motor of the team #8.
I've been every number out there — but #30 changed me. Especially being a Messi fan!
I found out I was a really good player at age 30. Life came and went, and I missed my chance. But at 30 I decided to go all in. I trained 3–4 hours every day, put myself out there and doors started to open — and just when it was finally my turn, I had to quit.
"At 30, I realized — either you're all in, or you're not. Doors don't stay open until you're ready, and I wasn't."
There and then, I decided I would ensure that EVERYONE who has the same dream and passion is given an opportunity to get there.
30 didn't stop me. It showed me it was time to pass it down to the next generation.

R30
"R30 is my love for the game. R30 is: friendships I've made throughout the years, understanding it's later than you think, leaving it all out there no matter who is in front of you, never backing down, believing is more powerful than hope — and lastly, R30 is a legacy I hope to leave behind."
