Our history
1985
It all began in 1985, at the Jugendhaus Castell in Heidenheim. Where many people from different cultures, races and religions meets. Whether you're Turkish, Italian, Yugoslav or German origin, there was unity among peoples. This is a close-knit community arise. Regardless mentality, religion or skin color, these cultures were welded together into a unit that consisted of mutual respect.
Pengasas (Founders of 8-Ball Crew)
Through the martial arts our founder Geronimo came into contact with Sedat President World Wide. By a number of visits to Germany (related on martial arts event's) the concept of Black Jackets became clear. After some good conversations and meetings with the club in Germany the choice is made to focus on a chapter in the Netherlands.
The chapter is started with 8 members who already had a strong connection with each other. After laying the foundation (by the first eight), it was decided to continue under the name Black Jackets 8-Ball Crew.
8-Ball Crew
8 represents the letter H in the alphabet which again is an abbreviation for Holland.
In addition, the 8-Ball in tattoo designs stands for living on the edge of society (according to their own standards within the club) and your future by letting fate decide... nothing to lose and do whatever it takes!
Black Jackets 8-Ball Crew stands for brotherhood, respect and loyalty and carry that out!
