No more Indy cross?

[artskool]

Exactly. Fake badass vibe since day one. I've ridden them for years, but would definitely never have ever worn a t shirt or hat with those tuff guy logos.

the logo has always been on some West Coast Choppers cringe Cali badass bullshit.

the imagery has a popular correlation to white supremacy and nazi crap

why wouldn't you drop the cross?

Agreed. With all this. I don’t think Indy is a secret Nazi brand or that there logo was anything other than a homage to 60s and 70s “outlaw” biker culture, but that’s enough reason to change it - because it’s fucking 2020 and that shit is played out and tacky, not to mention ugly

The smart thing to do is to just slip the logo deep into the background of your brand, and then bust it out every few years for a special release of 215s or XXL t-shirts for the Bowl Barneys who are going to be offended by the switch

Still not backing indy. The change was purely reactionary. I don't believe for one second they actually give a fuck about an offensive logo. If they did then Fausto would have never pushed so hard for it knowing full well it's a racist symbol.

Are people actually falling for indy's coverup bullshit? Seems to me people just aren't willing to lose a sponsor over it so they're hopping on the bandwagon saying indy is listening.

I see more Independent stickers on white people's trucks then I do on an actual board. The fact that it says "Independent" puts more fuel to the fire.

I was in the states when I was about 12 on holiday with my parents. Went to a flea market and brought what I thought was a sweet ass Indy necklace. When I walked out and my dad saw that it was infact an ‘iron cross’ or whatever, he sent me back inside to explain that I didn’t know what it was and to swap it for another different one. Florida. I didn’t have a clue

Indy dudes getting mad over the cross situation are the same dudes that are mad they can’t say the n word in public. You are clowns.

I stil have a set of these, not this bad ass color way but I stil got em...if I size down to a 775 I'm Goin in on these jawns again

I'm kind of confused on the "snowflake" thing.

"I can't handle seeing a cross" = "you are a snowflake" from Indy logo lover

"I can't handle if Indy changes the cross" = "you are a snowflake" from Indy logo hater

So.. snowflakes all around or ?

I just sent this over to a buddy of mine who is not on slap or really has a whole lot of an idea of what we talk about on here. He brought up an alternate perspective. "So China is making the trucks now and can't stand having a Christian/Catholic symbol on there?"

I got him up to speed but I thought it deserved a laugh and a mention.

that is pretty good

[SatanicPanic]

Who gives a fuck about the brand? I’m not a brand consultant or an ad rep, if you’re not I don’t know why you’d care if the product still works. Apple can change its name to poop tomorrow I’m not throwing my phone away

Slap on blkprjkt

[weon]

What's next? sponsoring some dudes from Baltimore? Kook to the max!!! (...) There's a reason why losers from small cities get Ventures for free and the gnarly dudes skate Indy's.

lmao this dude is hilarious

hashtag gnarly dudes only

[IUTSM]

who the fuck really cares about that logo? I had an indy tattoo that I covered the fuck up after 15 years of too many white boys bothering up to me where ever I went. regardless of that, it was a dumb tattoo.

[Croquet temper]

I'm currently riding Indy's with the logo, but honestly, the brand is a bit historic and I'll always remember the logo as just Indy's logo and not something to throw a fake shitfit about while actual class based issues ravage Amercia, but hey fuck everyone right?

[yourbreakfsat]

Lol if this is true then Indy is going against their whole "fuck you we're raw" attitude.

I could care less, just don't fuck up the actual performance of the truck.

inb4 Indy baseplates with the logo skyrocket in resell price.

I’ve seen jahmir brown grind the fuck outta a ledge you’re a jealous lil biotch

Does it being rounded make the difference?  My dad was in the US Army back in the 70s, had one of these pinned on his uniform because he was in the infantry...

Trust me bro its all connected. The nazis are trying to save up for the race war so they faked an indy without the iron cross to drive up the prices. After that they sell all their indy shit the bubble will burst because it was all a hoax. So now they have money for a race war and they still have the iron cross on their base plates. Its quite opportunistic with all the racial strife going on.
