DGK and IceCream Merger
« on: May 01, 2007, 09:12:15 AM »
That's right, you heard if first.  Stevie will be taking over duties as Team Capitan of the IceCream team.  For all those who don't know, IceCream shoes is owned by Reebok, former sponsor of the DGK team.  I guess they're shifting focus away from TK and investing more into lasting skaters.  I hope all goes well in the change.

bummer for DGK
Sorry, sometimes I get overly defensive on that point.

Is DGK by RBK done yet? I don't think I've seen one person wearing them around here. Too bad for DGK being associated with Ice Cream, but I'm sure Stevie's getting paid!

Where in the hell did you come up with this one? This is almost as bad as you saying that Rodrigo Tx is on Nike Confirmed and that the team needed to vote TK on to the team.
Give up already on your wack rumors

If this is true, it'd be a complete 180 turnaround from Stevie. Money changes everything?

Q. How does this play into RBK's extended family, such as BBC and Ice Cream?
A. Fuck Posers!

Q. Why do you think the BBC wasn't as successful as many people predicted? You don't strike me as the type to wear Ice Creams…
A. I ain't no poser. Ice Cream is for Posers. I definitely ain't the Ice Cream type. I melt Ice Cream!

Ice Cream is not owned by Reebok, It WAS but Pharell actually sued them for not making the shoes the way he wanted tehm, RBK is making a huge profit there's no way it could be true. but who honestly gives a fuck??
