Independent trucks and racist ideology

Companies coming out of 70s California were not surprisingly big on Nazi imagery- 70s and 80s CA was nazi land. Vans manages to not put nazi logos on everything (yes I know about the TNT shoes with Indy logos on them) while still maintaining some history so it can be done. Anyway Indy should move on. Replace their logo with a screaming foot or something

Couldn't have said it better myself. I feel like the association to JJ alone makes the logo appear to be in poor taste. Doesn't really seem worth it keeping an outdated symbol.

[close]

Thanks and for the record I’m not say no one ride Indys- I... ride Indys. Just think it’s time to move on to another logo.

I've been riding indy since my start as well. I truly just dont get whats so controversial for these old heads to move on from that logo though? I remember looking at their comments a few days ago and any discussion about the logo was met with a bunch of dorks saying "STOP BEING SENSITIVE"

u know shits wack as fuck when the main people arguing with you are 40 year old men who wear cargo shorts lol

Not Indy, obviously, but I was just reminded of these Flip designs from watching Boulala's Sorry part (maybe he was riding Indys as well to complete the ensemble?)

Can this thread be cancelled now please.

I just thought the same thing. Something along the lines of “Now it’s time to remove the cross babes.”

[close]

Yeah thats pretty much what she said.
Very interested to see if anyone else will say something to Indy.

[close]

If you read the comments Lacey baker says she rode for them for years but just quit a month ago because they wouldn't change their logo

Good for they. Start your own truck company.

I agree, no one’s voice should matter in the industry until they’re 45 years old and completely out of touch.

Oh, and the word you’re looking for is “them.”

The point is she's riding on their dime. Don't like it, quit. And ride for "them". Sorry, I'm not "hip" with the lingo

Why shouldn’t an employee voice an opinion about a company they work with? Why does worker voice worry you? I’ll hazard a guess that you aren’t a successful company owner. You might be an employee. Why shouldn’t you be able to express an opinion about where you presumably work? (I’m guessing you).

The at best, sarcastic, ‘outlaw’ imagery, hasn’t aged well. Why does the notion of changing it bother people? What is the draw to the nazi-lite symbol? Why not just go full ‘swazi’?

[Glurmpz]

Not Indy, obviously, but I was just reminded of these Flip designs from watching Boulala's Sorry part (maybe he was riding Indys as well to complete the ensemble?)

In 1996 I had a Flip shirt with that font and underneath it said " Hate. Kill. Destroy.", no lie. I wore it once when I went to work (at a restaurant, changing out of the tee into a uniform) and my filipino friend tripped out. I'm from a small east coast town in Canada that's almost entirely white, so at the time I had no idea flip was a slur. Never wore that shirt again.

And that’s just the decent response.

I'm filipino. That's our word.

[Roast beef]

It’s actually funny that that some of the people who skate for Indy have now just decided they have a problem with the cross, why not when they first got on the team? Surely if you were that against the logo you wouldn’t have signed up in the first place?

Times change. You learn new things. You gain perspective and look at things a different way. I'm guessing this has never happened to you.

I think it’s ‘funny’/worrisome that you cannot see how someone would grow, evolve, and change their mind over time

No, the only reason they changed their mind was to jump on the bandwagon through fear of being deemed racist, they didn’t give a shit about that cross a month ago, they were just happy being sponsored regardless of its history. Just being sheep.

Good call I always wondered why no one ever questioned the Flip iron cross. It’s pretty blatant. 
They’re graphics vibe heavily off the Motorhead aesthetic that unapologetically uses Nazi imagery on all it’s merch.  It’s a known fact that Lemmy Kilmister was a serious collector of WW2 German militaria.

...yup.  Sorry if it makes some folx uncomfortable but if you grew up white in the suburbs you probably grew up w some racist shit around.  Just get over it and move on.  The way I see it, you basically have a free pass rn to come out and admit hey I’m not perfect.  It’s a good time to rethink some things.

  I agree but that doesn't mean it isnt a good idea to get rid of the cross. It would be a fuck you to their white pride customers of which there's a lot.  Good message I guess rite?

  They should give Peanut a pro truck and have a full pager of him ripping to introduce whatever new Indy symbol.  If they had a contest to design a symbol thing it'd prolly get a ton of art submitted and they could get something better for sure.

I got the shirt for free and I remember it fit well, so that's probably why I wore it, but as soon as my friend clued me in to his first impression of it I felt horrible about my commute to work wearing it. No idea why I would wear that, looking back. Seems out of character. Dumbass kid.
