alex bro uve been wearing this moncler tee for three days in a row
we get it
i tried to read it 1 time and couldn’t and then just never looked at it again. in my mind it was a foreign language. i think that logo could use some help
overall i think its dope that they don’t have bibs and we see more variety than 5 years ago. i never thought id be stoked on someone from indiana skiing in jeans and a hoodie before. yet i was pumped to see goepper goonin. i think its pretty relaxed depending on the athletes individual sponsors
Seems to be from a brand called Elho. The artwork is Basquiat. If they got the proper
licensing then it’s pretty cool. If they are stealing the art then that’s a bummer.

From what I could find on the gram, looks like a legit colab between Elho and Basquiat.
skiP.E.I.Well Basquiat has been dead for 36 years so not really a collab. Maybe they paid to license it from his estate or whoever owns the rights to his work.
They had the Netflix show about him and Warhol a little while ago and then the MoMA/Uniqlo made a bunch Basquiat stuff and now he’s the trendy artsy apparel thing to wear I guess
Rell Harwood going hard in the full Harlaut Apparel kit. Not sure who Taiga Hasegawa's outerwear sponsor is but he looked dope in some huge baggy shit. Goepper was also a standout in his jeans and carhartt hoodie. Also just stoked all around they didn't do bibs this year. Some dudes look wack but at least they got the freedom to wear whatever.
eheathThere certainly has to be a correlation between xgames not making athletes wearing bibs and the crazy outfits ppl been rockin'
idk if you are asking for speculation but here i am lol.
my guess is that by removing the bibs, the athletes are more likely to reshare throughout the year so the focus would be to create an environment that is recognizable. so these outerwear companies we dont see much of, unique feature builds, and all the banners and infrastructure in the back will make you say oh that was at X Games.

idk if thats the thought process or not lol
My guess is that they didnt have a sponsor for the bibs so they just decided to nix it. OR they're just trying something new.
Athletes will share content from xgames regardless IMO
It was pretty obvious to me that companies paid their athletes to show off gear at xgames, whether it was more than before or not, it was far easier to see the athletes outfits/graphic on their clothing without a bib with a huge logo on it.
Going no bibs is a bonus for the athlete in their negotiations with outerwear sponsors. This move from XGames stands to benefit the athlete’s outerwear deals. Also I’m noticing so many shared posts from XGames and athletes. Also a great benefit to growing the athletes own channel.
Both of these are great things in a few ways. More money into skiers pockets, larger audience directly to the skier, less forced storyline announcing style from XGames hopefully. I always was turned off when they were obviously playing kingmaker to keep more laypeople engaged in the broadcasts.
With anything on the business side of this stuff I’m always very passionate about the skiers being taken care of. As far as x games goes right now I like what I’m noticing and I hope to see even more ways for the homies to get paid.

Can’t wait to see competitors rocking Arsenic at xgames!!
Haha no shit Moncler is overpriced and ridiculous. Have you people been living under a fashion rock for the last 8 years? Designer and wannabe designer brands print $6 cotton tee shirts, slap their ugly ass slanted logo on them, and sell them for $400. This is old news. A-Hall just decided to cash in on it.
Dude drives a Subaru. I don't think he gives a fuck about anything other than the paycheck they send to his mailbox. Good for him.
