What companies are still doing what they have always done?
And which ones would be completely unrecognizable to their founding fathers?
i feel like both Powell and Toy Machine in 2022 look like what people in the 80s and 90s were used to.
Blind on the other hand doesn't even remotely seem like it could have come from the minds of those first five dudes back then.
Maybe not Powell so much as I think about it.
-
Real is still real..
-
Baker has changed
-
Uncle Wiggley is a shadow of its former self.
-
Limosine today is pretty much the same as day-one Limosine. That's just my opinion, tho.

Whoa there, easy with the hot takes.
-

-
doom sayers is still the exact same except they have boards now
-
Blind has changed the most

Creature

Anti hero seems pretty consistent since day one regarding graphics, team, and video style
-
I feel like the correct answer is Palace and Palace.

Great North County Skateboards
-
Black Label has probably been the most consistent for the longest time.

Numbers

World Industries, you can’t even call it a shell of its former self it is so far gone. They have a decent team but they still rely on Wet Willy and other McKee characters. I also saw they made some cheap skate shoes but I’m not sure if they still do.

If were talking graphics, the answer to both is element. They've changed so much over the years but they've always been shit

1. Enjoi
2. Zoo York

Remember when Welcome was actually awesome?

Less B-roll but it seems natural now that they're not as huge degenerates.
-
Changed the most gotta be N.A.D.C, right?
It started out as a rub/seasoning and wound up being a concept.
What a time to be alive. Anything is possible.

Girl & Chocolate
( and not in a good way )

ATM and Mini Logo

Ricta
Creature
Changed the most:
Stereo
Crail/ specifically girl
ACE- in a good way
Flip
-
Hook Ups hasn’t even technically changed their team as far as boards go, right?
-
Numbers
Did Numbers just fizzle out? It's obviously dunzo but I don't remember seeing any official announcement from Guy or Eric about closing up shop, but maybe it was mentioned in Thrasher or something.
-
Probably were so embarrassed they didn't think anyone would notice
-
Zoo York
-
Hahaha Eric and Guy quickly left the dead corpse of Numbers behind like primitive homonids traversing the Earth before the agricultural revolution

I've got a lot of love and respect for Mark Gonzales but if I named my board company after an iPad screenshot that he doodled on and then texted to me I would have done the same thing
-
DGK, from nothing to something to meh. Love em, but not feeling it at all. They need to get with it and put out some videos, and expand the roster. They're staying in their lane kinda, but on the same road to crail, zero, enjoi, etc.

Great North County Skateboards
This is a deep cut

Andy Howell's Underworld Element -> Element today. Can't think of a brand that has changed more than that.
From hip-hop inspired graffiti graphics, sponsoring Julien Stranger, Chris Hall, Jeff Pang & Harold Hunter to look at what it is now: Star Wars collabs and Mall shops >:(

Element has always been wack. Sick team w/ wack fools running it.
This is pure conjecture.

They found their stride shortly after but just to remind everyone this was the first Palace promo:

Get my first gnar! I feel exactly the same. I was a huge fan of Underworld Element and had the Chris Hall everslick football in 1992, one of my favorite decks ever. I quit skating around the millennium and only came back in 2020. I didn't even know what Element had become in the meantime until I found out on Slap. As a matter of fact my brother who doesn't skate anymore still rocks Element gear just because we loved the brand back in the day. I didn't have the heart yet to tell him that it is a kook brand now.
