The King of the Black Sheep...

I was doing follow up research for Magic and getting the last of my business cards in order when I stumbled upon The Imfamous Black Sheep Brand...Now something must've interested me or I wouldn't have taken the card but I couldn't remember exactly what it was...Might be the logo which I think is absolutely adorable (I've always thought of myself as some what of a black sheep and it would make a good tat...nice...clean...interesting...) so I decided to took take a further look to see what the brand was really about and did a little googling...

The
first article I stumbled across was from Transworld Business Magazine and it gave me a little more insight on the brand...

With more and more crossover consumers hyped on fashion and streetwear styles, many brands are creating products that dovetail skate and urban trends. Launched in 2006, The Infamous Black Sheep Brand aims to corner this segment of the market with a blend of urban-inspired footwear and apparel for skateboarders and lifestyle customers...


I kept reading...

With new skate companies, the line between being a legitimate brand and not usually lies in the team roster. The Black Sheep Brand has already acquired several riders who fit its urban image. “We have Dylan Gardner, Jose Garcia, Anthony Mosley, and we’re talking heavily with Kareem Campbell right now,” says Davis


Wait...Hol' up...I immediately lost interest in the brand (well just for a sec) and gained interest in the team roster (which is what I think they want you to do...over there building a roster like that...) Anyone who knows me knows Kareem Campbell is my favorite skater (what? a broad can't have a favorite skater?) AND I've been dying for some sort of Reemo comeback so I headed straight to the
company website to find out more but only found this...

and then to their myspace page and found this...

Return of the muthaf*ckin' King...Good shit...I dunno what they're planning on doing yet but I will say I can't wait for it to happen...Any company that recognizes Reemo as the King is good with me...

Black Sheep Brand can be found at various spots across the country...I'm more of a web shopper tho... Zappos has the 'kicks and the gear...I think I need a hoodie in black so I can rock it with my Air One's...
