It had hit them quite hard

GFC and coupled with the fact that nobody is really buyin Billabong branded goods anymore!!!!!
when i was a kid i wore them all the time, now i hate most surf brands. i despise anything with a massive logo/brand name plastered on clothing.

same. Only time ill wear anything branded is if i know the people who own the brand and want to help support them or if if wear the surf clothes someone inevitably gives me at christmas,when i go fishing. I find it weird that people think its cool to have a massive quiksilver etc brand across their chest .....‘hey look at me im a free billboard!’....
the only branded shirt i own/wear is my Boradworld one…
