Why Is It That Blacks No Longer Support Black Owned Clothing Lines? Why Do We Love Ralph Lauren?

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

The main reason that I wouldn't start a clothing line is because nikkas are so fickle when it comes to fashion. Gucci and Polo never advertised to us yet we have such brand loyalty towards those companies. You never seen a Polo Ad in The Source or XXL. We don't know who owns True Religion but I'm willing to bet its not a Black man. Sure a black clothing line can have a nice little run like FUBU or RW did but they're never mainstays like the white clothing lines are.

Because most black clothing lines are trash. I wear polo because it's cheap and the qualities decent.

I bought a rocawear varsity jacket a few years back. Buttons fell off before I ever wore it.

Polo not that cheap. If it was nikkas wouldn't covet it.

When black people get money they rather spend it on non black everything. Black people also in general don't help each other out. Black people have this mentality that foreign Or white is what we should strive for .

We dont value our own like we claim to do.

@Cake smh at that comment but you're entitled to your opinion. thats a great example of what i'm talking about.

People think "black" owned anything and automatically assume its inferior to everything else.

More people have access to said brands because those owners of those clothing lines have the money behind said brands.

Really doesn't have shyt to do with the race of the owner ofsaid clothing line is. If the clothing looks good, you're gonna fukk with it whether the owners are Congolese or Ukrainian.

Wouldn't even know where to buy it.

I disagree. If nikkas found out True Religion was black owned today they'd be out of business a year from now. Karl Kani should've had a Tommy Hilfiger run if nikkas stood by him.

Bullshyt..

Look at jerry loranzos fear of god..

Look at virgil ablohs off white..

Look at yeezy season...

Etc..

We support our own, just not cheap bullshyt like rocawear and sean paul..

Edit: and no nikka flexes with polo anymore

The question is,are there are black owned alternatives to mainstay brands and styles?

Folks buy stuff out of tradition. Black labels get shine, but they usually fall off because they are very trend oriented. I still have old Fubu clothes, but the shyt has FUBU in big ass
letters all over it. It was hot at the time, but I grew up and want my shyt simple and clean. Offer simple and clean, at the same or better quality as the major brands, but don't rape
me on the prices.

Him: Those is old
