ahh, i dont think you realize how big of a company oakley is, armada couldnt even come close to putting up the cash that would be needed to purchase it. sorry, no way.

isn't there a guy that use to be a big part of Oakleyon Armada's investors board?
and why wouldn't oakley buy armada out? makes since if they want to break into a market they buy the 'cool' brand/brand that has almost all exclusive Oakley riders.

its kind of worded like a Bush speech....... so you saying this small business wants to buy a big corp? unless armada just got some masive $$$$$ backing i doubt it means armada is buying oakley.

well as of Nov 25th Oakley is worth $434,884,000 so i wonder where Armada would pull this near half million from?

Haha Powder_2, 'back then'. Armada has only been around for 3 years It's not like this was before anyones time. And at the time Smith, Scott, and Dragon all had damn good teams too.

No I said Armada made an inquiry to oakley to buy their brand like Oakley buys Armada....the wording is tricky i guess

ahh, i see, so then oakley would make all of the marketing decisions.
that would be realy good for skiing i think, because oakley has such a tremendous backing, in the amount of money they have and theier investors are very loyal. this could for shure put skiing up with snowboarding if it were to happen and oakley were to put a good amount of money and effort into it. but then the question is, is armada a grass roots type company because they 'sold out' to a big company like oakley?

thanks freeski for finally understanding and seeing it my way, I'm almost 100% positive this happened but who knows if oakley will go for it. As for Armada 'selling-out' I think it would be sick to see a company like Armada stepping up next to the big boy conglomerates like Salomon and Rossi, that market is totally different from the independent market and then you gotta thing that you have soo many others there it would be good to split it up, it wouldn't suprise me if 4frnt tries something like this too.
