Is it time for ski companies to retro?

Gear talk or SG?

Seems to me (in Virginia and NY) that a lot of street style in going back to the 90's along with every shoe company making a retro.

So it got me thinking what skis/outerwear/etc would you like to see make a comeback. Armada already did it with dollo's ARV graphic and the OG ar7 graphic. Oakley made the eframes (I believe) popular again.

Personality I'd live to see the OG LDC suit make a come back along with the OG rossi scratch graphic. Toss in that Oakley jersey that Mik D and everyone wore.

Jason did it with the twister ski and I don't think that sold too well.

But was that an original graphic?

I'm sure everyone has a favorite graphic they would love to see again, along with a suit.

If Oakley brought back the 3.5 puffy pant in the OG colorways and samples they had I bet they would sell out.

I've been hoarding my bright green and pink ones away for many years... one day they'll belong in a museum.

K2 has put out a handful of retro graphics and even ski names over the years. I could see it. You could look at tight pants, or even forsaking jackets, hats, gloves as retro flourishes. I'd like to see straight up ski sweaters come back in.

Bring back the OG 1080, K2 Enemy, and Line graphics. And Siver. There will always be room in the ski industry for Siver. If Orage (or whoever bought it out) made a ltd run Siver line, it would sell out so fast.

Maybe this will sound stupid but I want ski graphics in ridiculous home prints...wood, tiles, house siding, cement, wall paper, etc.

Not made out of the material but I think it would look pretty awesome

It would be cool in a couple of years to see the Salomon G-Suit make a comeback.
