Why the World Needs More Underdogs – And Why You Might Be One

The world loves a winner. Society celebrates the champions, the trendsetters, the ones who make it look effortless. But here’s the truth—without the underdogs, there would be no stories worth telling. The underdog is the person who wasn’t supposed to win but did. The one who refused to quit when the odds were stacked against them. The fighter, the dreamer, the rebel.

At Binkie & Co, we believe that underdogs are the heart of real change. They push back when the world tries to shove them down. They see failure as a stepping stone, not a dead end. They refuse to be defined by expectations and instead create their own path. If you’ve ever felt underestimated, overlooked, or like you don’t fit in, you might just be an underdog yourself.

And that’s not a bad thing.

History is filled with people who were once written off—musicians who were told they’d never make it, artists who were rejected over and over again, entrepreneurs who were laughed at before they built their empires. Being an underdog means having the courage to rise, no matter how many times you fall.

So, to the ones still fighting, still pushing, still standing tall—we see you. We celebrate you. And at Binkie & Co, we wear our resilience like armor. Because the best stories? They always belong to the underdogs.
