the hats didn't even release yet.
WOW @ them biting? how did they get the drop and copy
You hit it right on the spot with that statement, dudes are just lazy and have no sense of creativity at all or their design team sucks. I can say forthe "FIEND" joints even though I'm personally not a fan of the design in general I know for a fact the Goodfoot logo is on the hat at the back,from that point on like AM87 said it's a respect thing and you shouldn't go taking other peoples work. Coming with that "New Era showed us thesedesigns" is a straight up LIE.....stores continue to use that excuse when really the ONLY place that gets shown designs from the New Era database is TheFlagship Stores. What's really happening IS these stores and seeing designs on forums like NT and sending emails to their New Era rep requesting the filesso they can make their own versions.

If you can't come up with your own concepts/designs and so forth maybe this buisness isn't for you

"The Ipod arguement is a weak one because every model that comes out trys to one up the ipod in some way (be it price point/features/interface/etc), there isn't much innovation that can be done on a new era hat or a t-shirt. In the case of those I love my hood/life hats they are quite literally just stealing a creative idea that someone else came out with it and running with it. How much thought/talent does that really take?"
on the ipod statement, so any company making their own ipod should make it on par or worse than the ipod right? the companies are dumb and they dont want to ever beat the ipod right?

last time I checked it says I LOVE MY LIFE not I LOVE MY HOOD. if we go by what you said, then every company should close their doors. in example, i saw LEXUS with a hard top convertible on their sc430, then GUESS WHAT! MERCEDES has a hard top convertible too! so does every other car company! OMG THEY HAVE NO TALENT.
Alright, first off let me preface this by saying the only reason I'm here arguing is my girl has the flu so instead of getting drunk and having sexI'm sitting here arguing about hats...
But in any event, Anderlecht... On my first point about the ipods, I was saying that every company tries to innovate (although at times unsuccessfully) on thetried and test ipod format in the ways I listed. Creating the exact same logo on a hat and selling it at a different shop is hardly innovation though. Puttinga badly designed logo on the hat is hardly innovative.
As far as the "I love my life" fitteds are concerned, I give you guys some credit. I don't own an "I love my hood" hat because for themajority of my life I have lived in the suburbs and it seems silly to rep my "hood" when it is anything but hood. The hat you made is the first thingI have seen from you guys that I would consider purchasing, I like the idea, but I am still shaking my head over what a blatent rip off it is. Ok, like BillGander said, it is manufactured by New Era and is the same quality of hats I purchase anywhere else (well depending on what country produces it), but there is something about the blatent theft of ideas that concerns me.Maybe your arugement would be more effective if you didn't work for a site that has an exact replica of the CC "I love my hood" hat. I'velooked at that hat multiple times and thought how sleezy it is of New Era to offer the same exact font/design to another company. Just like Chris Rock said"just because you can do it doesn't mean it is something that should be done."
