Good move for TJ, starting his own shit on some Fat Joe enterprise vibe, but Nak ain’t it.

I just watched Bill Burr short on YouTube this morning that had a near identical logo at the bottom.

Dudes might wanna rethink the design.

With Nickel’s Lotties beef, I’m guessing a lot of shops are going to be skeptical about starting business with these guys. They’re probably going to have to rely on web sales for a bit, which won’t be easy with that bullshit aesthetic. Especially now with demand down and the market flooded.

[close]

I missed that thread, can someone please explain exactly what went down, please?

[close]

Main points as quick as possible
*Lottie opened a shop, Nak saw him as an outsider criddling in his area
*One of naks friends was told not to smoke in the shop, another brought in a board to be regripped but it was covered in dogshit and was turned away, angered Nak further
*Some local kids were getting fucked with for wearing Lottie's gear, Lottie warned other kids about certain areas, Nak took max level insult to this talked a bunch of shit on insta about Lottie
*Lottie thought fuck it, it's not worth it and closed the shop

[close]

also someone was killed in a drive by, right? not sure if my memory serves me right, or if so that it had anything to do with that beef itself. i just remember hearing someone was killed wearing lotties or being an affiliate & that seemed to be the last straw.

[close]

whoa, hope that’s not true. but nakel got his dipshit followers to basically fade on sight anyone wearing lottie’s shit, which actually happened a handful of times. it ended with the kids who worked there showing up for their shift to a bunch of people waiting outside of the store to jump them and brian pulled the plug on it. it was literally for no reason.

All I’m getting from this is you think Mike Gigliotti is Brian Lotti

You guys left out the part where Nak transforms into Nickel and became a giant human coin that steamrollered over Brian Lottis shop

[manysnakes]

Someone on Twitter said that the logo is simple enough for a fried skaterat to be able to spray paint it on a mini ramp and that may be reason enough to keep it.

This same graphic is all over my friends neighborhood in Chicago, marketing genius

Yeah but a crown is a generic enough logo that no one will know what it specifically refers to

literally every teenage toy within the last 40 years has painted a crown at some point, there’s absolutely no way the king skateboards clipart ass crown will ever be iconic enough to stand out from that

Is that the place KB where got stranded? It would all make sense now

[GAY]

It's funny how much more interesting this company would become if the name of it was "King Gas Station"

[The real veganshawn]

Good luck to him

KingStation and market it like a gaming console for your feet?

[1080isthebeststunt]

the name is so bad hahahahaha its so incredibly corny. if he thought about it more than 5 minutes thats amazing you have all the attention time and stings to pull and you think the best way is just to call it king because he want to be the best and on top. its not even a metaphor or a cool logo tag its the worst shit ever.
how sick was city stars and the logo "star"

I guess Hardies Wood was just a little too suggestive.

"Flacid" would be a fun name and a respectful callback to "Limpies".
