About us

Established in 2022, The Back Rank is a brand created by and for chess players worldwide.

If you Google 'chess clothing', what you will mainly find is t-shirts with either a basic slogan (I love chess) or graphics of pieces, neither of which really appeal to the keen chess player.

Our aim is to change that.

TBR is a brand that represents a new breed of chess player.

Whether you play online, tourneys over the board or enjoy streaming chess and watching video content, we aim to provide fresh, on trend chess apparel to make you stand out wherever you are.

If there is anything you would like to see in our collection or any ideas you have please drop us a message on the contact page and we will do our best to make it a reality.
