FORTUNE FAVORS THE BRAVE

Quiksilver X NHL

Ooh how the mighty have fallen since the days of the Black shorts or even Echo Beach.

I stole this image about Quiksilver from another website, but basically….. Quik made another deal like they did with the NFL but this time it’s with the National Hockey League to make co-branded boardshorts (I’m not sure we can still call them that)… It’s a little bit like that 90’s movie Airborne where California surfer moves to Minnesota and in order to be accepted by the other kids joins their roller hockey team or something like that…

The point is; Quiksilver, we looked the other way about the whole football thing. We were embarrassed for you but times are hard and we understood that. Sometimes you need to dance for money to put yourself through law school… but the NHL???? Now you’re just giving BJ’s in truck stop bathrooms for cigarettes.

Quiksilver… We love you.. but you’re a crack head whore now and if you don’t change we may have to send your butt to rehab.

Here’s the official story <http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/quiksilver_to_produce_nhl_branded_boardshorts/>

PS: If you won’t put down the pipe have the courtesy to let some good parents adopt  Craig and Dane so they can have a future.
