Now with shiny plastic stones!

That could be the worst hoodie I have ever seen.

morgan - 11-9-2009 at 11:24 PM

I can't even form a response to this.

XHonusWagnerX - 11-10-2009 at 09:27 AM

hahahahahaha!!!! Awful!!!

M.Alki - 11-10-2009 at 09:32 AM

wow, that is pretty horrific!

XnMeX - 11-10-2009 at 09:51 AM

It is sooo fitting that they used a bad rip of of the "Exploited"s skull since if this is not an exploitation, I don't know what is.

Why DIY, when you can PAY for it! The ultimate in purchase punk for the fall season!

*edit* Note the MSRP of $187.99

This will look good on all the guidos wearing Affliction and Tapout shirts.

DaveMoral - 11-10-2009 at 11:05 AM

^Hahaha. I hate all that shit too. MMA meatheads wear the ugliest shit.

JawnDiablo - 11-10-2009 at 11:31 AM

every dope trolling 2 street in olde city rocks the Affliktion meathead look.

*sigh*

necrobutcher - 11-10-2009 at 06:38 PM

Who is Ed Hardy and why does he feel 187.50 is an acceptable price for a hooded sweatshirt?

random - 11-10-2009 at 07:31 PM

in my "profession" we call this a selection bias, which i like to think it means that you should have a bias against people who select to wear shit like this.

it actually means something close, so let's just pretend that's an accurate statement. (for the nerdy, it means only a special type of person decides to wear this, and that's the "selection" part creating the bias... i call them douchebags and thinke they deserve to be victims of bias because of their selection)

clevohardcore - 11-10-2009 at 08:56 PM

weak.

barc0debaby - 11-10-2009 at 09:47 PM

Most of those MMA designs look like colorful diarrhea. And most of them look like carbon copies of the last design.

don ed hardy is a well known tattoo artist who was trained by sailor jerry. he owns a shop in san francisco called tattoo city. basically, he's licensed out his art and made a ton of money.

barc0debaby - 11-11-2009 at 12:07 AM


http://www.donedhardy.com/


His website sums it up best


:regan:

BDx13 - 11-11-2009 at 12:29 AM

this is far more his site that that.

necrobutcher - 11-11-2009 at 01:08 AM

I took a look through the 2 links put up. As far as I can tell this guy just took a shit on his legacy in the name of getting rich.

newbreedbrian - 11-11-2009 at 01:26 AM

That about sums it up.

Jason the Magnificent - 11-11-2009 at 06:40 AM

As tacky as all that shit is...he probably created a legacy. He went from an underground name to a household name. I'm sure he could care less what his street cred is when every dipshit on earth has his name on their back.

You do have a point. I can imagine lack of legitimate credibility is trumped by filling a swimming pool with $100 bills.

I still have a hard time with 187.50 for a hooded sweatshirt. Fuck, I got pissed when Carhart increased their heavy ones from 45 to 60.

barc0debaby - 11-12-2009 at 01:20 AM

Atleast Carhart is worth shelling out the cash for.


This thing just makes ya look like a 200 dollar douce.

I don't dispute credibility before this, being he worked under Sailor Jerry. What I'm wondering is what he pissed away by licensing his name and whatnot onto designer clothing. I don't know enough about tattoo subculture to know if he is now held in less esteem due to selling $187.50 hoodies.

JawnDiablo - 11-12-2009 at 09:22 PM

i remember my girl having an ed hardy hat years ago...i was like ..the tattoo artist? nah....
i think i might have an ed hardy flash tattoo on my somewhere.

I'm sure as soon as subculture starts paying him the royalties from $187.50 hoodies he'll be concerned. I'd bet everyone in the tattoo industry wishes they though of it first.

barc0debaby - 11-12-2009 at 09:49 PM

So does Ed Hardy actually work with the designers and come up with shitty punks not dead hoodies, or did he pretty much just sell his name off?

Jason the Magnificent - 11-12-2009 at 10:03 PM

from wiki...

In 2002, Hardy was approached by Ku USA, Inc. to produce a line of clothing based on Hardy's art, and a license agreement was signed. Within two years, the collection had drawn the interest of Saks companies. Hardy and Ku USA formed Hardy Life LLC, which holds the trademark ownership as well as the copyrights to all his images.

In 2004, Christian Audigier licensed the rights to produce the Ed Hardy clothing line, which is based on Hardy's imagery. Prior to the Ed Hardy clothing line, Audigier was the Head Designer at Von Dutch Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. Audigier has attempted to replicate the marketing techniques employed by Von Dutch Originals, by marketing directly to celebrity clients and by opening stores in high profile fashion districts. Ed Hardy stores are located in many locations internationally including the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

In May 2009, Iconix Brand Group, Inc. announced that the Company has acquired a 50% interest in Hardy Way, LLC, the owner of the Ed Hardy brand and trademarks. The Company paid $17 million for its interest in Hardy Way, consisting of $9 million in cash and $8 million in stock. In addition, the sellers could be entitled to receive an additional $1 million in stock pursuant to an earn-out based on 2009 royalties received by Hardy Way. Hardy Way estimates that 2009 royalty revenue will be approximately £10 million.

makes sense that von dutch was the model. there ya had another figure that was big in an underground scene - in his case Kustom Kulture - and made into a massive fashion trend for the mainstream, albeit posthumously. that shit blew my mind. like, do these fuckers really have any idea who ducth is?
