Y'all claiming spitfire makes a superior product are trippin'. F4's are cool, but original spitfires flatspotted like they were made out of pencil erasers and were garbage compared to most other wheels on the market.

Flameboy and the devil got some credit when they first started, but when world became focused more on them than their riders those cartoons got associated with the new kid-focused, trash team world industries which is when a team that many loved and admired for years for its edginess and amazing team became a joke. Flameboy wasn't necessarily lame, it was the shift in world's focus that he is associated with that most people hate.
I specifically stated F4's are the best. Original Spitfire urathane is dog shit.

The first iteration of the devil was cool. One of my friends sold his soul to him for free World product. I was too poosey.

both logos rule. flameboy for hella feelings of nostalgia and a lot of our first boards
Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really.

It's times like these that make me appreciate the fact that I'm sitting on about 5 sets of Prize Fighters, now those are actually good wheels...
At least when you're a washed-out hipster douchebag in NY, you can milk it at some decent looking, hard to skate spots. In LA you're just a tan-lined faggot in a school yard somewhere.

the spitfire logo is pretty corny. flameboy is almost cooler at this point. i cant find any evidence, but i swear there was a mall store(possibly only in canada) that sold sweaters and tshirts with a knock off of the spitfire guy on them and they managed to make it look even worse somehow. i wanna say it was called Snake Eyez and they made JNCO like pants, but i cant find anything online. does this ring a bell to any canadians?

I actually dig the spitfire logo because it reminds me of the shark nose art on airplanes from WWII
