If we're counting skate companies/offshoots of skate companies Vision Street Wear was one of the worst things to happen to skateboarding.

   I doubt it would have ever got the traction it did without the Gonz.  He was so huge in the 80s (visionary literally no pun intended.) He looked dashing sporting that shit.  I was in grade 6 wasn't gonna by any of it.  Total kooks could just buy it (skate clothes) and wear it.  It was overkill.

Agree that Gonz running it gave it the traction but even he couldn't polish the turd that was Vision Street Wear to me back then (no diss on you for thinking he could pull it off though).  I used to majorly clown any friends of mine who wore it(I was also a snobby shithead).

Tony Hawk's ad for Draft Kunts has to be one of the most egregious bad sponsors. Already mentioned but yeah. Lots of skaters glorify drinking and smoking weed but sports gambling has to be the worst, even with a gameplan or whatever fake responsible shit they're pushing, you will lose and it won't even be fun along the way.
This is the correct answer. I don’t think pushing energy drinks on kids is great but when I was a kid I never needed anyone to tell me I should want sugar water so I don’t think it’s the worst.
