LRG is back - Karl, Chico and Kelly

[A Not At All Naughty Chemist]

Just a few days ago i saw kelly wearing an LRG shirt and thinking: "that still exists?"

Apparently it's back.

I dig it.

[Blind Fisherman]

LRG was always such a strange brand, imo. Never understood why they were in skating to begin with...especially with people like Billy Marks on their team during the last iteration.

"leg was around before there was the term street wear" xD

[Craig Lutzka]

It never left, me and my boys stay getting Lifted and Researching topics as a Group.

[Silky Johnson]

Awesome, Gonna hit the Burlington Coat factory after work

[rawbertson.]

i still wear the clothes from like 2005  I remember the owner of a company i worked at said to me "Is that your pride shirt" because my hoodie had like a bit of a rainbow on it

[Mean salto]

Put the og team back on and I'll maybe be interested. Funny how this is more in fashion now than at time of release

[yourbreakfsat]

We're leaving the 90s trend and entering the 2000s trend

[WavyDavy]

Awesome! LRG was hot shit in hometown, even among non skaters, around 2010

[spanyard]

I welcome this.

[biggietoms]

yeah i fux w this...lrg was sick, before all the edm/ bro step guys started rockin the shit outta it.

team/ video was sick asf too.

[shannamal]

used to live down the street from the warehouse, and they always had absolutely insane warehouse sales. like, handful of t shirts for $5 good.

LRG is like tapout for guys that can switch back tail.

[fulfillthedream]

i remember from 2004-2007 i strictly wore LRG. i had over 30 shirts, 10 hoodies/jackets and 5-6 pants. I still have some of the things and am stoked.

I felt they always had a good team with dudes like Karl Chico Adelmo JP Jadeed then later adding Rodrigo TX was really cool.
Wonder who will be on the new team

[Cool Ceith]

I've always wondered… why the fuck does "1947" play such a big role in the branding? Karl's shirt in the video says "original research group since 1947" and I always thought it was strange to be so cryptic on an otherwise straightforward apparel brand.

I mean, aside from the giraffe stuff (dafuq?)

[matt_2993]

I loved LRG in 7th and 9th grade. Goodluck fellas

[TastyBurrito]

My favorite LRG piece ever was a crewneck sweatshirt with a kangaroo pocket in front like the ones you find on hoodies.

Then my bitch of an ex took it.

Never have a found another crewneck with that feature. I miss that sweatshirt way more than I miss her.

LRG clothes didnt suck. Better than gear of it's time and some today. I had tons of LRG gear, in that 2004-2009 (which for me was late high early college) At the time it was also cool to wear clothing brand that was associated with Kanye west, talib kweli, dave chappelle, and Karl watson. It gave me black kid validation.

of course when the skate program left I lost interest. Would totally rock LRG again.

haha!

LRG would be sold at your local skateshop, zumiez, Mervyn's California, and Ross. Very weird brand. I remember going to the "Give Me My Money, Chico" premier at FTC in SF, brand died right afterwards if I recall. Not expecting huge things here, but never oppose Chico being taken care of in some way.

[funeral_tuxedo]

That last video 1947 done by Kyle Camarillo was so good.

@ORGANIKARL

can LRG either get tasty a new crewneck or track down the original from his ex?

The dudes working at vape stores that are still into dubstep and sell bogus E are gunna be stoked.

i used to work at a vape store/ smoke shop and my corowrker wore exclusively green shirts or brown and had massive dreads

occasionally he would wear all black but hahahaha so accurate

Maybe it's generational, but twisting out of slides the hard way should be called a Watson, not a Suciu.

To be fair, L-R-G originally was only at skate shops and streetwear shops for a while. When they got into Macys, I think that is where things started to go downhill. I remember getting L-R-G shirts at 510 Skate and shirts were so weighted at the time. It felt like you bought some premium shit. Then when they started selling at Macys, you noticed the quality went down which I assume meant they got their stuff made overseas. It happens to so many companies. I still like them more than Volcom.




I wish Jack Curtin can get back on but he's got a clothing sponsor. Even Carlos or Miles would be dope to get back on but I think they all ride for their shoe clothing companies.

[Atiba Applebum]

Need LRG to collab with sml

Kelly Hart is the king of zombie sponsorships.   Wonder what dead brand he’ll revive next

Remember when it seemed like Droors was coming back?
