Teddy Blueger told him a previous mask was generic. DeSmith challenged Blueger to design this mask... Which is why Teddy's signature is included 😂 pic.twitter.com/IL0eQkdhL7
During a news conference earlier this week, DeSmith said Blueger commented his mask was too generic. DeSmith then challenged Blueger to create a better one and the design was born.
“The process was a little different than I though. I told him the ideas I had, a rough outline. There was some stuff on there I did half-jokingly. I didn’t know if he would actually put it in there,” Blueger said about the mask.
