Bhirds isn’t just a brand — it’s a movement born from the rhythm of city streets and the soul of artistic reinvention. The concept took flight from the mind of Stu Pflaum, a former music industry executive who spent years immersed in the pulse of the hip-hop world. After stepping away from the business side of music, Stu found himself missing the creative flow that once defined his every day.

That hunger for artistic expression eventually found a new home — not in beats, but in bold design.

From the Concrete Jungle to a Canvas of Cotton

The name Bhirds (pronounced however you feel it — birds, berds, or even byrds) is more than just a twist of the tongue. It’s a nod to the pigeons of New York City, creatures Stu observed often during his time living in the city. Resilient, underestimated, and always present — just like the street-level artistry and underground culture that shaped his career.

The original Bhirds logo was never meant for retail. It began as a tattoo design — sharp, angular, and unapologetically unique. But as the ink settled into skin, an idea began to emerge: what if this symbol — this reinterpretation of a pigeon, reimagined with edge and purpose — could live on beyond the body? What if it could become a banner for anyone who felt that same itch to create, hustle, and stand out?

A Brand with Wings

With that spirit, Stu flipped the tattoo into a T-shirt graphic. One shirt turned into two. A few local drops turned into a following. And soon, Bhirds took off — a creative outlet not just for Stu, but for anyone walking the line between street and style, grit and grace.

Bhirds is about elevation. It’s about turning overlooked moments into icons, repping where you’re from without apology, and never losing sight of what makes you you. Whether you’re perched on a rooftop in the city or flying solo toward your next big thing, Bhirds has your back.
