Brazier Tops Market Takes Hit, G Unit Clothing To Shut Down

by JOKESTA

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 6, 2008

According to inside sources, G-Unit Clothing is shutting down, with its last business day this Friday.

The brand was a joint venture with 50 Cent, who entered into a (what else?) 50/50 partnership with Ecko.

Senior marketing department staff were recently let go, as was the brand’s design team.

UPDATE: Allhiphop.com reports a “source” within 50’s camp has said, “They aren’t shutting down. They may be leaving their partner, but the G-Unit brand is a base business of $75 million annually.”

We’ll keep you updated as the story unfolds!

Ive never like the idea of wearing clothes made by rappers but I have bought some Roc-a-wear shit and some Seanjohn shit before. Im more into DkNY,Coogi,Polo....shit like dat! And as much I hate to pay money to a white man over a black man!!! They just make shit dats way more fly!!!

yo all that shit is whack... but truth is

ECKO MATERIAL SUCKS - SO G UNIT MATERIAL SUCKS

i love the ecko shirts and their designs, but their material is whack.... it shrinks so much after liek 2 washes, and they are flimsy

same with some LRG shrits, they alwyas rip at the bottom where the tag is,, and the tag on the neck collar always annoys the shit out of me... so i stopped buying LRG too

man the only brand i still wear is rocawear(but not as much anymore, jay had that shit on lock for the longest) i basically try to wear any shirt that looks good to me nowadays.

btw i work at retail clothes store, and i still see gino green hoodies,shirts, gunit shirts,hoodies,thermals,southpole shirts, pepe jeans, and us polo association shirts all from like eight months ago still sittin in the store on the clearance rack, and every once in a while youll get a flock of whited dudes that come in and buy all that shit up.

i always like lrg shit, especially that first hoody they came out with the tree on it, and then the red,black,and green outline, but i never purchased shit.

after a while all clothing lines fall off, remember wu-wear, fubu, platinum fubu, mecca, soon true religion, and seven jeans gon fall off. rocawear been the only consistent one over the years. and fuck sean john i hate anything to do with diddy
