Hank Pelton III
and
Sean Brand
. Big Uglies was started with a line of apparel that is designed to appeal to the bruised egos of football linemen. Hank and Sean first met in 1984, playing on opposite sidelines at the annual Glens Falls-Hudson Falls Jug Game. Sean went on to play at Hudson Valley Community College, while Hank played for four years on amateur teams representing different bases where he served in the Marine Corps. They both returned home and played for the Glens Falls Greenjackets, Hank from 1988-1998 and Sean from 1986-1996.
