DrZoidbergObama?
Not kidding, that's how the acronym looked at first sight, and still looks.
steezburgereddieYou should bump your thread instead of making a new one.
uyghurJiberish 2.0?
JosephRikysTo be honest, it doesn't look to bad. I'd wanna see someone riding in your gear though.
karlmarxquality looks good but i would seriously think about renaming. obfaba looks like obama at first glance and when said aloud sounds like a weird vietnamese dessert or something. "obtained by few admired by all" sounds cool and all, but its too long of a name, and the acronym doesn't roll off of the tongue well. just my 2 cents though, good luck with your startup

ObfabaWe are OBFABA which doubles and an acronym as well as our promise to our brotherhood (not customers). Obtained By Few - Admired By All is a promise to our Brothers but to understand the depth of that promise and what it means its necessary you understand a little more about who we are now, have been in the past, and will be in the future.[/b]
macinnisYou should totally start a kickstarter.
LucasWouldn't it be awesome to watch them fail in real time?
Turner.What about Sisters? You guys cool with Sisters?
How bout grammar, where do you fellas stand on that one?
Also any chance we could host a couple rite-of-initiation type events where we all get together and scream "OBFABA! OBFABA!!" and like pound our chests? Maybe even incorporate some call and response: "I say OBF you say ABA: 'OBF!' 'ABA!!'" I feel like there's a ton of potential there.
Anyway man, just spitballin' here but it sounds like you're onto a real winner.

The message is great I appreciate the sentiment of people wanting to make a difference in the communities they are passionate about. However...
What do you plan to do with the brand longterm beyond making clothes? e.g. what will you do for the action sports community?
What makes you worth spending money on vs other brands? (Rime Knits made a splash by planting trees with purchase, partnering with cool athletes, and making contributions to great ski content)
Things to consider about your brand presentation:
come up with a more concise & easy to say/read name, use that saying/acronym as a tagline under your logo or just as a piece of the branding.
Your logo should be readable at all sizes. It's not on your user icon. You're lacking contrast between the grey & yellow you chose. Weight should be increased on the font your chose too.

"Brush Script MT" is a really shitty font. Script/brush fonts need to have variety between the characters, or they translate as insincere. I suggest using a stylus and writing your script fonts yourself. Or at least taking the time to find a font beyond the basics included with your computer.
White text with a dropshadow over a b/w photo is a poor choice for conveying any information. The readability is real real bad.
