Jart
best and worst because it sounds like something that happens when you try to fart while wearing jean shorts and a trickle of dooky comes down your leg
-
Best: alien workshop and toy machine. You want something a little off that people immediately don't quite get. (Altho once in highschool I wore a toy machine t shirt and some "hot" girl looked at me puzzled for a minute then was just like "omg this fag still plays with toys!")
Worst: pretty much everything else especially if it's a thing like pizza, pass port and the girls names trends gotta stop

iPath
Worst
Primitive, Slave, gnarhunters

Hitler Did Nothing Wrong Skateboards would probably be the worst one

I remember being 14 and hearing Shane O’Neill was named on a new brand Skate Mental and thinking it was the lamest brand name I’d ever heard. I’m 27 now and totally agree with my 14 year old self.

we are just tossing up lobs for gifted hater to create a 30 minute video and monetize this on youtube. but I'll help.

I love that Geoff Rowley named his company "Free Dome"
-
I 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.
-
I 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.

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.

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.
-
FA is a terrible name
-
There is one of the dumbest names. Worse than Frog.
Glad they've got DLX backing though, they're doing rad shit even with the stupid name.
-
Best: Ace, Zero, Habitat, Traffic
Worst: Thank You, Pizza, The Heart Supply.
-
FA is a terrible name
FA is terrible as a leading brand. A quiet little company with an obscure team would work.
Deathwish is so dumb. Super corny and now that the dudes are sober it really makes no sense. They now have the exact opposite of a death wish. They should switch to hopeful optimism. FA can stand for freakin mediocre
-
THEEVE is probably the worst of all time. Even with correct spelling it's a horrible name. Shame too because the trucks were actually the best trucks you could buy for the first couple years they came out. (Indy was still stage 9, thunders widest was only the 147, and ventures may as well of been tensors with slider for how uncool they were)
-
As far as companies I actually like, Slave has got to be the worst brand name.
-
Best- the killing floor, blood wizard, hockey, heroin ,chocolate
Worst- Thank you, cariuma, Fortune, Real
-
best: business & company

At least there's some recognition on deathwish that it's kinda inaccurate, they released this Neen board a couple years back: https://www.homeskateshop.com/skate/decks/deathwish/neen-healthwish-pid-17378

lmao Hockey gets away with it because they are sick, like baker, but it's an awful name
-
i don't mind hockey as a brand name.
FA on the other hand is awful.
Remember Ruckus trucks. that's a pretty bad brand name too.
Toy Machine, foundation, zero, black label, bootleg are all pretty good imo, maybee cause it's what i grew up on haha
-
Hockey > FA
-
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

Irie - GX1000
Bumboclaat - Droors

That’s funny I was gonna say THE worst has to be Bike but then someone said Burrito.
Slave is a tricky one cus their graphics are so fucking dope. Same goes with FA. Terrible names, great graphic design.
Favorite gonna have to be Bianca Chandon.
-
worst: fucking awesome
big fax

also..
best: Alien Workshop
-
Worst: Heroin
Best: Passport, Fancy Lad
Loved Fancy Lad even more when I learned about the origin ;D ...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.

Yeah thats kinda what I was getting at. I get that your wheels get hot skating but calling a board brand the heated wheel is weird to me. Also why is wheel singular? Does only one of Neil's wheels get hot. Name just seems weird.
-
Best: Toy Machine, Alien Workshop, Darkroom, Enjoi, Glue, Cash Only
Worst: Fucking Awesome, Deathwish, Skate Mental, Sk8mafia, Doom Sayers- basically edgy cornball shit. Also Anti-Hero in the context of seeing it with that screaming eagle logo.
Repeating shit that everyone else already said
-
Mother and Paisley have been my personal favorites in recent memory. Of course they both had to rebrand due to cease & desist orders.

there was an old company that used to advertise in all the 411s called BIKE skateboards and at the time I thought it was really cool. kinda par for the course back then though... MILK skateboards is another one that springs to mind.

Cariuma is easily worst.
Killing Floor. Pretty Pretty Goood.
Like 303 also, but that’s probably because I’m into acid
-
I always thought Baker was terrible, but most people that like it were probably 12 when it came out, so there’s that.
There are a ton of bland names like Thank You, Welcome, Hockey, Pizza, Frog, Real, etc.
Fucking Awesome is a bit too over the top and funny to be in that category for me.
But for terrible…

Donut... Now that's a name I like.
The team personifies the brand and is therefore inextricably connected to the name. It has not just anything, but quite a lot to do with the name. To rephrase my question, what are Dennis et al., if not real skateboarders?

i'll skip over the logo because all of you know what it is, but those were somehow related to destructo trucks iirc so they had two brands under the same umbrella with almost identical names

Hockey is cool but I'm oblivious to the sport so it's easier for me to think of it as a brand.
