Why do people hate on Supreme

It's the same idea as Jiberish, overpriced clothing.  Sure it might be more expensive, but if people buy it why drop the price? 

In no way am i knocking Jiberish, they're sick, but i think it's stupid when people complain about Supreme but still support Jiberish. 

Here comes the Hate.

not really, no.

I look at jiberish and wonder who has poor enough fashion sense to actually buy that shit. I wouldn't buy a jiberish hoodie if it cost 20 bucks.

they have some cool shirt ideas, but the outerwear is absolute garbage.

Because 3/4 of Supreme's shit is just a box logo on a shirt/hat/hoodie and is sold for rediculous amounts. When jiberish sctually puts time into their designs and makes sick shit. I'm not hating on Supreme, if people will pay that much money for little to no creativity, more power to you.

I don't see very many box logos here, but okay even if 3/4 was just a box logo i think its still sick.  Its classy and plain.  Jiberish trys way too hard to make there stuff look cool and it makes it look like shit a lot. 

P.s. Jiberish's 5 panel's look pretty close to Supremes.  Props to little to no creativity.

While I have never hated on Supreme, I guess I would fall into the category of haters. I would laugh and point if I actually saw someone wearing Supreme. It is not so much hating it, as hating what it stands for. It is massively overpriced clothing, most of which is ugly. The quality is certainly not superior to Nike. It is what is wrong with America, and what people hate America for. Wanton waste.

I do support people buying what they want, and spending money as they wish. Supreme simply represents poor choices, and yes, I would publicly laugh at you.

jiberish actually puts a lot of effort into designing their clothing. judging by a ton of the supreme pieces i've seen, they don't do the same, such as a completely camo backpack with the supreme logo on it or a black hoodie with a little supreme logo on the front.

Since I know there are some other Supreme supporters on this website, I call them to my aid, but here's a little bit of what I have to say. I'll be back to write more sometime.

First off, there is no other streetwear brand like Supreme. Sure, they may just take other companies logos and put Supreme on it, or sell shirts and sweatshirts with red boxes on them, but it's because they can. The hate that is directed towards Supreme only comes from teenagers who just hop on the bandwagon. Almost all other clothing companies out there have a lot of respect for Supreme and what they have done. Second, Tyler is in no way affiliated with Supreme, and I'm positive if Supreme had the ability to stop Tyler from wearing their clothes, they would. Lastly, it's not like Supreme's quality is shit (besides their accessories). All of their clothing used to be made in the USA, and is now made in Canada (Jiberish has outsourced to China, just saying, no hate intended). And Supreme is not known for having the highest quality materials, I agree with that; but neither are Nike or Jiberish.

Yeah everybody has the same thing, i guess i worded what i said wrong.  It was more saying that they look the same so how can you say that that one company is creative and one isn't.

I don't own any Supreme or any Jiberish anymore, but i have nothing against either company, i just think its stupid that people can hate so hard on a company that is pretty similar to what 95% of B/S/T is all about on this site.  I would laugh if i saw someone walking around the street with Jiberish on because if it was somebody from this site chances are they're walking around in a 4xl looking like a douche. 

I respect both companies they're trying to do there own thing.

Supremes quality used to be shit... it's only in the last 5 years or so they've taken it up a notch

For the people arguing that they stand simply for overpriced, trend whore shit.. that couldn't be further off point. Even calling Supreme a streetwear brand is an iffy term. They started as a skate shop in NY, with James Jebbia later saying his goal was pretty much to make clothes for asshole new york kids that didn't want to wear wack shit. At their core they are just as much/even more of a skate brand than they are a higher fashion brand (past collabs with CLOT, Neighborhood, Porter, APC, etc., come to mind here), streetwear is entirely relative.

You can't really argue about prices here.. If Givenchy can sell out EVERYWHERE by putting a rottweiler on a tshirt with a $300 price tag/button downs and sweaters selling out at about $1000, the value of supreme is pretty goddamn cheap. That's not even counting how affordable the shit is if you get it before it sells out. Their shirts, hats, shoes, etc., are all pretty solid price wise. It's only when ebayers get their hands on gear that the prices skyrocket.

It's simply harder to get now that every odd future fan boy gets hard over it, but at its core that's NOT what Supreme is about. It's a specific east coast lifestyle and the brand has a storied history with much more depth and variation than pretty much any other "streetwear" brand out there.

just because their clothes aren't completely plastered with shit or done in color ways that you can see from space doesn't mean that they don't put effort into designing their clothes. i wouldn't expect anybody on ns to know anything about style (note: nike 6.0) but one of the fundamental ideas is that less is often more. subtlety makes much more of an statement than a sweatshirt that is the visual equivalent of screaming at the top of your lungs. also, it sounds like you've never touched anything made by supreme, if you've even seen anything in person. go do that. then get back to me.

i see you are very good at making assumptions.


i never said i didn't like supreme. i do like supreme, and i have worn and 'touched' many a piece of supreme clothing.


but my point was that jiberish probably costs so much because they put a lot of effort into having artists design their piece. i'm sorry, but while supreme might look cool, it doesn't take much effort to design a lot of their stuff. is it a bad thing? no, but it means they don't spend as much time having artists design shit.



go back and reread my post man. if you weren't jumping on supreme's dick so much, you might see that i wasn't saying that jiberish is infinitely better. i was simply saying that jiberish, it would appear, puts a lot of money into having artists design their stuff, which could account for their high prices. such complex designs could also jack up prices too. a sweatshirt with all sorts of crazy colors is probably going to cost more to produce than a simple black hoodie.


and let me quote you:
'care to elaborate? this seems like a pretty bold assumption, given that you know literally nothing about what i wear (except that some of it may be supreme)'

notice how you assumed that i have never worn supreme, don't know anything about that clothing style, and spend all my time in the most brightly colored jiberish clothes i can find?

try to argue a little more intelligently next time bro.

Complex? Your retarded. Neither are 'complex". Jiberish may screen print more on its hoodies but simple can be better. a plain supreme box logo hoodie looks WAY better than a fucking mint colored hoodie a crayon pucked on.

jesus fucking christ. I NEVER SAID JIBERISH LOOKS BETTER. im strictly saying, a complex design could literally be more difficult to actually print, therefore raising prices. black hoodies can be purchased for cheap. does that mean i think jiberish looks better? no, i never said that.




supreme fans need to step up their reading comprehension skills.

in case you still can't seem to understand, this is what i mean.


this sweatshirt: Click for larger image

probably costs more to make than this one:

does that mean i think it looks better? no. however, i was simply saying that jiberish's high prices might be a little more justified.

frankly, i think comparing the two brands in the first place is weird because they clearly believe in completely different things when it comes to design.

for all of you fucking idiots saying NS is full of hypocrites, you do realize NS is not one entity? NS is not a hypocrite, it simply cannot be. when you have close to 200,000 members obviously people are going to have different fucking opinions. i'm sick of people saying NS is full of hypocrites when it's just the same two groups of people who have different opinions. one member normally stays true to his beliefs, on rare occasions do they not.

also, you do realized that when you buy jiberish, you are not forced to buy the brightest colored hoodie, and there ARE infact sizes that go down to - WTF? - small! holy shit, then it would be up to my bellybutton instead of to my knees cause i'm a fat fuck who tells off other people on the internet for clothes they wear!
