LL Cool J promoting FUBU during a GAP commercial, might be the greatest branding coup.

[Cabbage Patch]

Bullshyt. Black people decide what's hot and for how long it stays hot. Gucci, Versace, Dolce, Prada(etc) rehashes and remixes their designs throughout the decades whenever they feel like sifting through their archives. Black people throw money at these Euro brands for the sake of their name. We decide the shelf life of apparel.​

Blacks are muses, but that may be it.

What are the demographics of who actually buys what?

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

there’s a lot of black owned small clothing brands promoting on IG that look waaaaaaay better

How many black/urban brands are left? Between the mid 90s and mid 2000s, hip hop clothing was everywhere. Most of them have been sold off.

So how come u never answered my question. If u say the public coulda made fubu relevant for 10 years then which urban brand lasted 10 years? I'm still waiting for u to answer. U cant because they dont exist. Urban brands dont last long...U saying Fubu coulda lasted 10...well show me which urban brand went 10 years. I'm still waiting.

I'm not talking about the longevity of urban brands, that's what YOU are talking about. Im talking about what determines the longevity of a brand period. But you aren't listening and keep staying on this same topic. I'm done going back and forth with you.

hold up though...

didn't DAYMOND JOHN scam a fellow COLI poster out of $1,000 a few years ago? He was charging dudes for business consultation phone calls or lunches or some shyt and a poster on here went and said he basically got blown off

Anyone remember that thread?

Ever been ripped off by a prominent individual? - Update - It was Daimond John

Exactly.

Claim the public coulda had FUBU going 10 years strong yet when I ask u to point out when the public ever had an "urban" clothing line go 10 years u start juelzing and cant name 1 brand. Why? Because that doesn't happen, u just made that up about FUBU going 10 years if the public wanted...yeah right. Like I said..."Urban" brands have a 2-3 year shelf life..thats the tradition. U cant compare that to what u are refering to as "in fashion" those are 2 different things.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

But we let FUBU fall off so we can pay some gay Italian dude $200 for a shirt to be "fly"

absolutely nobody is stopping you from wearing FUBU in 2018.

nobody but YOU!

 

[karim]

How can you blame the public for a company failing to stay relevant? I just realized we take the blame for things we should not take the blame for

Coli militants use basically every opportunity to shyt on other black people

Damn bro you're really stupid huh?
I was gonna drop it but after reading that post i had to respond.
how hard is it to realize the public determines relevancy?
FUBU could last 1000 years if the people in society kept it popular off that time

Are you really incapable of abstracting a concept as simple as the trendyness of a clothing item? What's your occupation breh? I'm genuinely curious

I'm still waiting for u to name 1 "urban" brand that lasted 10 years. What u are saying isn't facts...if it was you woulda been named 1 along time ago instead of all this juelzing. I'l take u serious when u finally name 1 "urban" brand that lasted 10 years like u claimed is possible. But you cant cuz they dont exist. Now respond with more Juelzing while still not naming 1 "urban" brand that lasted 10 years.

 

[Brolic Scholar]

They really fumbled by not pushing trends and seeing the inevitable shift in fashion. Once they started copying Iceberg History with the cartoon shyt, it was over. The name was solid, but the designs fell off.

How is the concept that the consumer determines the how long a product will be sold not a fact?
