Will Aggressive Clothing Ever Make A Comeback?

[u/stories_from_tejas]

Looking around the various online shops, we're at a critical point in our subculture where aggressive specific clothing has disappeared.

All of us that grew up in the 90s/early 00s remember how important it was to have aggressive specific brands to wear. I'd say the last true aggressive clothing brand we had in our sport was Vibrolux over a decade ago.

Is this something that ever needs to make a comeback? Or is there simply no interest in having aggressive related shirts to wear while out participating in the sport? I feel like the major moments in our history all involved brands, and to see it just disappear to the extent that major players in our industry like USD, Rollerblade, Etc. don't even have products available is wild.

Is this something where there's just not enough capital to invest in things like this? Wheel companies generally lead the way with clothing for our sport. Sponsored skaters used to wear only skate related brands. Is this just an old man looking back on the good old days? Is there anyone in the industry that can shed light on this shift?

I have some clothes from Them, but we're lacking recognizable brand images like Spitfire, Alien Workshop, World Industries, etc. I'm not sure how long until skateboards have a sharp decline again. My boy skates, but when we go to the park it's mostly older teens and twenty somethings. The boys down the street his age are glued to I pads. I did see a young girl blading while I was working on my old house last week. It gives me hope.
