Damn $40 for a gildan print press t shirt

$100 for that ugly ass cork hat

Starbury and Shaq had the right idea when they branched off and created their brand the affordable prices to remain competitive with powerful brand name companies. People who pay $40 dollars for a shirt or $100 dollars for a hat do it for the name. They want you to know they rocking Ralph Lauren or Nike. Hell thats the whole business model of these designer brands when they charge these exorbitant amount of money.

I know nikkas ain't haitin on that name with shyt like nike, under armor and Adidas out here all them names are when you think about it.

 

[We Ready]

Video tells me that LaMelo is on the spectrum

 

[ISO]

Nobody is paying $100 for that ugly ass hat

 

[hood b. goode]

@ how this thread turning out so far. Support black owned business huh? Melanin is hard to come by in that family.

And if thinking a basic wordpress site, ripoff and a t-shirt printer qualifies as a black owned business now, not a quick money grab

Problem is he is going too hard too too fast.

If he wants to get the brand out there, do it slowly. Without mentioning it.

Have the sons wear it all the time and let it build organically. Ur son is a top player in the country, ppl WILL ask about his clothes eventually.

A loud talking brash older man wearing apparel isn't going to to endear it to the younger audience who wears that type of clothing.

Just be cool

I'd love to see the responses if this was a black woman with her white husband and her biracial kids starting a clothing brand.

"fukk this bedwench and her brand "

You know the Coli picks and chooses what to be outraged abou. shyt is hilarious

 

[TheEgyptianConniption]

I would fukk wit it if it wasnt so fukkin ugly

Edit: LMAOOOO at them weak ass pull ups

That was my takeaway from that video. He says were about to do our pull ups. Had me questioning what a pull up was after that.

 

[DPresidential]

Dead ass, I've been thinking about this family for far longer than I intended to.

I wish the kids the best and I hope the father isn't abusive.

That's it.

This gone be a great 30 For 30 one day.

 

[JahBuhLun]

Any poster on here calling other posters haters and etc. for calling this dudes merch shytty is not going to drop one gotdamn dime on his shyt.

Only white kids who think this is how Black people dress will buy this stuff. And unless he gets someone well known with a large social media following to wear his stuff, he is not going to push as much merch as he thinks he will.

I know nikkas ain't haitin on that name with shyt like nike, under armor and Adidas out here all them names are when you think about it.

It's not about the actual name itself. It's simplicity and repeatability that's more the concern. The name could be Gooseberry and that would be better from a marketing perspective because it's simple, easy to say and even able to be abbreviated. Repetition is what makes names sound good, not the actual name.

Imagine somebody sees you with something on and ask you what it is. "Oh, these the Big Baller Brands"... Then they say "what?"... then you gotta repeat that again? lol... Even B3 would have rolled off the tongue a little better.

The guy has got a great idea, and I hope I'm wrong. But everything looks like he did it all himself. Or maybe he had a suspect team of helpers. I don't know which would be worse, lol. But even the guy who started McDonald's had to get someone else involved to make it really successful.

 

[Big Blue]

Its crazy how we do this






we always have to do it like "they" want us to do it

$100 cork hats is for the culture now?
