I was hoping someone would point out a witty print in the graphic or at least some sort of quality detailing/cut+sew! Color me disappointed icon_smile_dead.gif

supreme's done it before with the joy division/peter saville artwork. as far as i can tell that had permission. the supreme magazine/book they put out in the winter has a feature and interview with him. i don't know about the exploited tee though.

i look at the exploited shirt as pretty toungue in cheek as the exploited were a political punk band, anti- this anti- that, then a commercial company is using their artwork. at the same time i'm assuming its a tribute judging by what most of that scene listens to or used to listen to coming up. ... to show they are or were down with whatever back in the day. you know how it goes - people try to ride on longevity and og status. "i was into ____ while you were still in diapers." i don't think it makes anyone cooler, but i enjoy the interaction between the scenes -- punk vs hip hop fashion... two things that were like oil and water where i grew up.

all these people calling themselves "graphic designers" using someone else's logo and having it spell out something else is playing with the same tools - making the old new and bringing it into a new limelight. 95% of the time it's a straight rip, but at the same time its putting a now perspective on something old. everything's been done before, so the source of inspiration's going to find its way into the work.

for the thread:

yankees 7 3/4

iron cross tee (DC ...)

same old levi's

same old white slipons

Quote: It's still stupid.

My take on why there's no outrage about Supreme using Exploited artwork is

(1) the joke. I mean, exploiting the Exploited?

(2) the Exploited aren't the same kind of band as Minor Threat. Maybe you understand this, maybe you don't.

(3) - most importantly, Supreme isn't that well known. EVERYONE knows about Nike.

But whether you call it a tribute or a parody, shirts that use someone else's imagery are always stupid.

Eh, it is a fucking t-shirt, who cares.......maybe all the dudes at Hoodtalk are pissed that they put Raekwon on a tee and half the people buying it don't know who the feck he is other than a huge black man holding an uzi....just because you know the history/graphic does not make you cool. Listen to the music, be happy that you know them.........

I wore:

Brown/White striped wool Energie sweater

Blue Zara slim fit

Visvim FBT Mid

weren`t talking to you witts, but anyway you don`t find minty supreme shirts in thrift stores for $8..if supreme owners sell their shit it goes on ebay where they can get $50+ for that shirt in good condition.

The dude said he got it at a thrift store. Jeezus...get over it already. Beacon's Closet is a hipster type spot in Williamsburg,Brooklyn so im sure one of them got tired of it and sold it for cheap. I got a pair of Stussy Court Forces in size 12 from the same spot for 50 bucks.
