Quote from: Ourladyoftheflowers on September 28, 2023, 12:37:28 PMExpand QuoteFA is far from my favorite company but sometimes I feel like the hate is reaching. Lord knows I have my opinion on the incorrect dash snow critiques but that’s mostly cause I think dash snow was bullshit (with all due respect to the fact that he’s dead). Don’t get me wrong FA is ten years old and not nearly as fresh. I’m sure they’ll become another zero/girl/etc. legacy brand. That being said saying that they’re stealing from comics being kook behavior seems odd. Quite a few companies have lifted comic art going back to the 90s. I mean there’s the very recent Fred gall metal reissue Swamp Thing deck. What I’m getting at is I feel like in one sense FA is toast as far as being on top but I genuinely think if they keep it stable they could continue as a smaller/medium sized brand. I still think as a sub genre of skating they contribute something cool and their videos are rad. Also my friend gave me an FA beanie last year and if it wasn’t lime green it would have been the best beanie I’ve ever owned. I guess im saying if I think of the lasting brands in skating FA being around for a while longer albeit a little smaller scale seems cooler to me than plan b. Also if FA isn’t cool anymore it means my old ass can buy another FA beanie and not worry about being an old person trying to look cool , I can just be old and out of touch. So actually keep up the hate for the sake of my dumb head[close]Preach. I’m 32 and love FA and hockey. I understand both sides. I to can’t help but judge their ethics and the general influence they abuse when drug use is sometimes the focal point. On the other hand all bloard brands are subject to these types of criticisms and it’s what makes our culture special. It’s with this mindset that I can separate the art from the artist. I can watch NXT wrestling and completely disregard Shawn Michaels influence on the show. Dills influence on FA and Hockey is probably limited as it’s not him who is doing the skating. The driving force is in my opinion the Guys/gals on the team. I could be wrong, but this is what I choose to believe to be the situation. It must stink having the mindset of overly critical consumer, as all these bloard brands are compromised in particular ways. What do you skate when you think this way? Ignorance is bliss in this case. Why would I dwell on Dillards personal going on’s when I’m too busy doing flat gap 50-50’s like K-rod. Taking pride in being a heelflip guy like Sage. Or being content with my aging shell like Andrew Allen.

I was living a dumb, blissful life as a Hockey fanboy for years, obv love the boards, also loved their hoodies until this past drop. they quietly made the switch from 70/30 poly/cotton blend to 50/50 and now they're flimsy and cheap looking and the fit's gross.
Me: I found skate Jesus.Slap: Yeah, well maybe if he does the crucifix switch I will believe it.

Andrew Allen has a famous sweet heart of the rodeo deck out and they changed it by putting her on a crucifix (for some reason)[close]FA's whole style guide is based around cut and paste photo collages a la Dash Snow. It's a fine line because they're naturally going to use someone else's work, because the artistic novelty is in how they reimagine it. That said, the scorpion thing goes over the line.

Is quasi essentially the same? I tried one a while back and the nose was similar but the tail seemed short. Maybe I need to give Quasi another go.
