Dills parallel universe
I found myself here after seeing posts from No-Comply Skateshop in Austin TX promoting their 43 gear. I had never heard of 43 being associated with the trick no cpmply. This comment caught my eye as I worked for Quiksilver/ DC Shoes for 4 years. Ken Block and Damon Way started 8 Ball clothing in 1991 and it evolved into Droors Clothing (DC) and eventually DC Shoe Co. Ken Block's rally car number is 43 for the 4th and 3rd letters of the alphabet, DC.
Hate to echo what you've written, but that's the same thing I heard, as it applies to Droors, the "43" stood for the fourth and third letters of the alphabet. D and C, respectively. Thus "Droors Clothing," or more ego-centric "Damon/Danny's Company/Clothing"? I figured that was well-established knowledge, but perhaps not?
I honestly dug the team and aesthetic of Droors and wish that the resurrection/revival would have been longer lived.
