Yoo what y’all are trippin. Polar is still up there and arguably the top 3 board brand out right now that is not dlx (Polar, quasi, fs/hockey). And they have the most popular pants in skating right now. idk who you are comparing polar to graphics wise, but they are still better than most of industry. They might not be at the peak when they shook up the entire industry, but they are far from stale.
i'm not saying that their graphics are bad. i'm just saying that the wave of early 10s style graphics is just not as exciting anymore as when all these beloved brands started. the wow factor is gone. this goes for a lot of brands that rely on that. i'm talking about polar, f.a.(hockey not so much since i feel like that moreso paved the way aesthetically for something like limosine), mother/quasi(i loved how the first mother boards looked, now i feel most quasis look kinda random). palace mostly doing logo boards.
the new wave to me seems to be more amateurish and haphazard, punky diy-ish graphics such as limo or frog vs. those very polished and carefully designed graphics we mostly from 2012-2020. i could also see more brands just doing very minimalist, almost mini logo like graphics.
i still like polars graphics a lot, but you know what to expect when a new round of boards drop at this point. no disrespect if you love their graphics.
