Quote from: modern life is war on January 24, 2023, 08:30:32 AMExpand QuoteI feel like if baker came out now they would be clowned for having that name, but since they've been good for over 2 decades now it's actually hella sick.Dirty ghetto kids was great for the time.Passport is a cool name too. I don't know if there is any meaning behind it but I like the idea that a passport allows you to go places and so does a skateboard.Quote from: Spaced Cadet on January 24, 2023, 08:24:32 AMExpand QuoteI don't get the "the heated wheel" as a name for a deck company. Love Neil and I know he's used that name before for other projects of his but I don't get it. Free Dome might take the cake for worst name for me. [close]If you skate real fast your wheels heat up. Maybe that was obvious and you already knew that but just thought I'd say it, I think it's a cool name.[close]I think The Heated Wheel is just particularly odd since it references a specific skateboard part and how it reacts to speed/concrete despite them marketing a totally different part. It's like naming a clothing company The Rusted Bearing or naming your wheel company, Ground to the Axle wheels etc. It is creative but a little confusing too. I don't know I'm a fucking idiot.

Quote from: Dino Spumoni on January 23, 2023, 09:15:28 PMExpand QuoteWorst: HeroinBest: Passport, Fancy Lad[close]Loved Fancy Lad even more when I learned about the origin ...But I would put Heroin in the "best" column just because it's so provocative and helped to steer skateboarding back into more of a counter-culture image at a time when SLs was blandifying everything.I appreciate 'World Industries' as a brand name more and more each year. So generic; so perfect.Brand names that are a response to other brands deserve to be near the top of the 'best' column, like bLind (responding to Gonz leaving Vision), Sour (Sweet), and Plan B (everybody).Worst: Hubba. Treefort.

You’re a Florida native, aren’t you?
Worst name of all time is RVCA. If you wanted your company to be pronounced “ROOKA” MAYBE CALL IT FUCKING ROOKA. WHAT FUCKING SOUND DOES V MAKE? Genuinely makes me mad all these years later. R-v-c-a sounds way better than fucking rooka too
pretty good: Darkroom, Theories, Quasi, The Killing Floor, Toy Machine, Alien Workshop, Hopps, SMA (way better than 'Santa Monica Airlines'), 60/40, Unbelievers, Zorlac, pretty bad:Deathwish, Heroin, Jart, Pizza, Fucking Awesome (but just 'FA' is ok), anything with 'Skate' in the name (Sk8mafia, Skate Mental), Blood Wizard
I'm ok with theft. It happens to me all the time. I steal too
I’m rich and smart
