"you cant fire me if I quit!" - Mason ....

Seriously Former sucks. its so pretentious and contrived. The descriptions of each range sounds like some regurgitated Chat GPT question, it appeals maybe to surfers behind the current wave (no pun intended) and wanky art students and 5 years behind the times graphic designers who like triangles.

it looks like the kind of apparel you'd find some bloke in 90's style board shorts with his keys and giant wallet jangling in his side pocket while he does a frontside slashers in flip flops pushing mongo at the local skatepark because there is no swell today.

not sure who the fuck wants to get behind that....

reading this while wearing a former shirt ): actually upset because i spilled hot sauce on this shirt a few minutes ago

On the real though, not sure who you're referring to when you mention someone doing frontside slashes in a skatepark wearing flip-flops. I dunno if that's somebody you saw at venice park but i've never encountered anybody like this at a park before

FA has the best board graphics.

All them shits are straight up master pieces.

If FA fucked up id be the first to say it.

Idk why anyone would be  thinking so hard about the team and what not.

 I also don’t know why y’all cling on to skateboarding culture so hard and have Karenesque takes. Terrible…

All I'm saying is if Dill was Rocco, Gillete/Anderson/Silva would be on.

wow what a great opinion im so glad u r 500 posts into this awesome message board

I found this post hurtful and I find you hard to deal with, with your cool little hurtful bully vibe going on. I think you should reassess how you talk to people online and strive to support rather than tear down Steve Rocco.

Didn’t Carroll say no to a Dylan/AO company?

Not the worst call in hindsight. Crail took a big dip, AO didn’t do so hot owning a company and Dylan…well, you know.

hard agree

to be fair though most skate clothing companies suck, by that i mean companies that only sell clothing and no hard goods. i think dime and butter are cool, but other than that you're better off buying deck/wheel/truck/hardware company t-shirts and polar pants lol

[j....soy.....]

I think a fair amount of kids don’t know who the pros are on FA….

[mamba]

FA/supreme fan boys are like the next step up of of skaters, right above mall brand skaters. aka pretty low on the totem pole

1000%, in my opinion half the entertainment of FA/Hockey videos is Benny’s cracked out editing and filming.

[Kombuch-A-Holic]

Still better than King.  FA and Hockey will be just fine.

former is kinda wack from the skate side but if you're looking at it from the surf side its a good bit cooler. dane reynolds is making some of the best surf videos out lately under his chapter 11 series: https://chapter11.tv/

it's pretty typical, surf companies probably just shouldn't do skateboarding

I won't say that the graphics are masterpieces or anything, but this picture of KB's pro model does not refute the claim that the graphics are works of art.

Even if you don't like this collage graphic, it took a long ass time to make. Cutting out all those pictures of KB then organizing them like this? That takes time and skill and at least a little bit of artistry.

Compare that with computer graphics used to make even shittier product... I would still call Dill an artist with a clear aesthetic, even if it was ripped off from Dash Snow

[Leenwover]

Does it pay the bills ? Yea probly.
Does it inspire and help quality of life?

Probly not.

Even if you don't like this macaroni necklace artwork, it took a long ass time to make. Picking out all those pieces of yummy uncooked pasta then organizing them like this? That takes time and skill and at least a little bit of artistry.

FA has the best shapes by far.

I just can’t justify dropping $75-80 regular price for a deck. I think they won a lot of people over with that $30 sale.

Thanks! I must’ve missed or forgotten this thread. Just took a look at the Former website. The clothes didn’t look terrible but nothing really caught my eye that I wanted to buy. For FA/Hockey graphics I like most of them. And like mentioned above whether you’re stoked on the graphic or not they seem to be well done and made with quality. The KB collage took some time and thought to piece together and fits his personality pretty well. And correct me if I’m wrong they kinda popularized the collage, embossed, square/rectangle graphics in recent years. Not saying they were the first to ever do it but I definitely saw other companies jump on that trend after FA/Hockey.

I don't think selling boards at $30 direct on your website is how you get loyal customers who will buy boards at $80 going forward.

Looked like a cash grab to get them through a tight spot and clear out of some inventory.

It was definitely that. I know some people who swear by the shapes and don’t mind paying the full price.

i think REAL sucks still and it would be sick if Ishod went there. Between him and Louie, they could produce an otherworldly amout of content and ads and stuff for them.

ishod puts out more stuff even now at this point in his career than all the swablos and KB and all the rest of those dorks have ever put out combined.
