Why doesn't Skate1 have chicken skull tshirts- or any Hawk shirts at all? Or any of the new pros? I'd like a Decenzo tshirt or that Blair bushido graphic on a T.
because tony hawk has his own clothing company so they would need to buy a license from him to print his name on something even though they own the chicken skull graphic and quiksilver used to have the license for his name but they basically went out of business and rebranded itself and he hasnt rode for them for a long time
well, see the Anderson shirt? No name on there. Just the graphic and the AA initials. Not sure whats stopping them from putting out the VCJ chicken skull graphic as a shirt without the name. It would sell millions
What about something new like an an Samurai Warrior Skeleton? Kangaroo Skeleton? or Kiwi bird skeleton? Or if you have never seen footage of surf at skeleton bay namibia hers a 1.5min vid
i wish PP would put me in charge of tshirts. Nobody in skateboarding is innovating in tshirts. Just standard heavy cotton shit. The ultra lightweight shirts that UnderArmour and Nike make are far better for performance sports, like skating. These 80/20 skate shirts hang on you like a heavy, wet paper bag after a good session. My brother sells tees with his business and my wife orders all the youth sports shirts in our soccer league. The performance shirts arent much more expensive to get custom graphics on.
They have made Flight decks with old school graphics....no reason why they can’t use new tee materials with old school graphics. For Heaven’s sake...don’t stop flogging the Ripper and SnS graphics to death now!
Most quick dry synthetic fabrics are prone to pilling when skaters roll on the ground Artists cant change their style they need to stay true to what made them great
I think for me durability and natural fibres like cotton or hemp would win
A hemp t shirt is way more durable than cotton The original levis and all workwear were made with hemp PP going hemp could be a winner, except they would last a long time!
You can glass surfboards with hemp mat instead of glass mat, you could make hemp skateboards much like bamboo skateboards Hemp is going to be huge again soon, it has probably been the most important plant in the history of the world, till petroleum products came along...
At one time it was compulsory for farmers to grow hemp And latter the government made 'Hemp for Victory' a propaganda movie in 1942 14min clip
