Personally, I think their style of play is not a fad, but I think their style of dress is.

I dont think it is, I will be wearing my designer stuff for a very long time. :)

I would think that this is a fair assessment. They are the current flavor of the week. Alot of these trends fall by the wayside quickly. Whatever the popular team wears/uses is the in thing to have. If you think otherwise, just remember how popular drops and sock hats were at one time.

Has anyone seen the new HK headbands? They are awesome and come at a new reduced price. Everyone take a look, tell me what you think. http://www.hkarmy.com/store.htm
The real tree ones are now offically gone, so if you were lucky enough to get one, hold on to it.

If anyone who was looking for an HK jersey and had no luck getting one, dont worry, HK has you covered, brand new jerseys supposed to come in today, I will notify AO if this is true, Steve tells me its supposed to be today, they will be at a great price.

Is it possible that the whole "streetballer" or "for the love of the game" has been a marketing gimmick? Everyone really seems pre-occupied with what kind of HK merchandise they can have.

Everyone was going on about how they play in long sleeve shirts, but then they turn around and sell them for big money. How much profit is there on a long sleeve shirt sold for say $80?

Sure they give out free stuff, but whats the cost on a sticker? Every paintball place you order from online throws in a sticker. Whay do they do that? In hopes someone will stick it where others wil see it and they get free advertising.

I wouldn't have brought this up, but your thread has started to drift from your original question, into something on the verge of a for sale ad.

I have no clue how much profit you would get from selling an 80 dollar jersey, because I dont know how much they cost to make.

You are right, the thread has drifted from the orginal topic, but I guess I got very excited, when I saw the jerseys were up for sale, Iv been waiting for 2 months. I do know some people on AO, wanted a jersey, but didnt want to spend 80+ dollars on one, so I thought I would just give them a heads up on these, get the word out, because HK has been through alot, they paid 1,000 upfront for these new jerseys and only recieved 11 of them. They paid for there streetball jerseys up front, only got 12 of them, the guy ran off with their money. They have had a hard time, but they still continue to give jerseys and stickers to their fans for free, so now I am returing favor to them, for everything they have done for me.

I ordered a couple, and about 5 minutes after I ordered them I had my second sold to a friend already, with other people wanting it to lol..

Heres my thought though.. HK (especially ft57) is a very smart guy, and I think he knows what he is doing with this marketing thing..

Oh and I could get jerseys just like the HK ones made for around 20 bucks a piece, and thats a rather expensive place. So 80$'s is a big profit, but I only seen people selling them used for that price and hey.. If you can get 80 for one then go for it.
