Looking Back, Was FUBU Corny?

[Taadow]

Fubu used to have the ill-ass sweaters/sweater vests. What killed 'em?

1. Results. Remember them chits? lol
2. End of the "Shiny Suit Era".
3. White folks ran it in the ground.

Fuby was a gimmick. They made loud tacky ass clothes. There is a reason the company had no fukking longevity/.
Good Marketing just got them booming.

 

[-Quikness-]

Yeah, I wasn't cool enough to really pull off either when I was 14, though. I still wore really dorky clothes with video game stuff on it.

didnt dude start the company with like 50 dollars, knittin hats or somethin

$80 making T-Shirts and Hats. Then he flipped his profit into a full clothing line. They were turned down over 20 times for business loans and they still were successful which makes the story even more incredible.
