Five More Brands You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

templetonHip Snowboarding Logoflossophymurdermittenoms

Wouldn’t it be cool to run your own snowboard brand? Not talking about making actual snowboards here, but ya know, the accessories that make up the lifestyle, man. Think about it. You’d get to live and breath snowboarding, make stuff you want and need, hook up your homies and hey, maybe even pay your bills in the process! And there’s totally no bullshit because you don’t have a boss right? Right… The reality of running a small brand in snowboarding may include a few more hiccups and challenges, but that hasn’t stopped plenty of people from going for it. The five brands we chatted with make stuff ranging from outerwear to underwear, and they all hope you’ll be down.

    ” I wore it to a rail jam and kids literally shit themselves when they saw it. ” – murder mittens

    either it really was the best logo of all time, or you have never actually stopped to consider what the word “literally” actually means

  2. Nate Farrell

    Templeton is a disease.

  3. JoeyD

    I, too, like to spend my Mondays being a grammar nazi on Yobeat.

  4. CARL

    MARDER MITTEN IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND AL-PAL IS AN IGNORANT FRAT BOY

  5. Commonapparel4thewin

    You kno what it theeeZ

  6. snow pun intended

    is the second sentence supposed to be a pun on actual snowboards the company

  7. what the

    Murder Mitten is the dumbest name for something i have ever heard. In a state which contains cities like Flint and Detroit which have ridiculously high murder rates, why are you printing that shit on tshirts and hoodies for a bunch of white college kids to wear. A terrible way to represent Michigan in my opinion.

  8. Derek H.

    I bought some stickers and a hoody of that fucking murder mitten website 2 months ago and that sent me a sticker with the letter I missing from it. And it took him 2 fucking months and 7 emails that he sent in all caps talking about being to hungover to get it. Fuck that kid what a loser

  9. mont

    RULE#2: WORDS ON THE INTERNET HAVE ONE MEANING.

  10. PrestonP

    This Al-Pal character running Murder Mitten is a terrible person to run a business. I ordered 3 stickers which took 3 months to get here. He mixed up the stickers, AND GAVE ME 2. He didn’t respond to 8 of my 10 emails and then proceeded to mess up the next order. Fuck Yourself.

  11. DillonDALTON

    Murder mitten, the clothing for white private schools boys with daddy’s credit card. Never been to Detroit or Flint.

  12. FalloutBoarder

    I don’t understand all the hate here! I once met Al Pal at #Vail and he’s super rad and really professional. I ordered some of those sick die cuts from the website and they fit perfectly around my #Switch bindings.

  13. What the

    Flossophy really liked Ashbury’s (and 100 other) logo that much huh? And Hip has to be the worst brand name in a long time.

  14. Q: What will you do after you get rich off snowboarding?

    A: Buy Yobeat off of you and burn it to the ground.

    GTFO… Lamez.

  15. col. forbin

    really who gives a shit about these dumb clothing companies, they are all the same

  16. Onionbutthair

    The only thing cool about flossophu is that Emily Laplume is part of their marketing scheme. Stay in Tahoe kooks

  17. Big Corporation

    Lol

  18. BigDoug

    They’re logo is the philosopher stone. Actually ties in really well. Not just some random triangle thing.
    So Ashbury really likes illuminati huh?

  19. basshole

    hey, i understand that mis-using the hell out of the word “literally” is such an epidemic in our culture that it’s usually not worth getting worked up about, but c’mon, the kids “literally shit themselves”? are you fucking kidding me? so a bunch of little kids had to go home early and have their mommies buy them new pants because this kid drew a logo that was so dope that the children ACTUALLY spewed diarrhea all over themselves the moment they saw it?

  20. *cough *cough

    Beeasyboards.com

  21. well

    the hip fella seemed pretty level-headed to me, and seems to have a good business plan. not a huge fan of the name, despite its double meaning, though

  22. 2 cents

    Why is everything 100% cotton…

  23. Ollie D

    I heard that alpal pays his team riders with a brazzers password.

  24. mehh

    haaaa al pal must have cryed to yobeat about all the hate and made them delete the page

  25. Footyfiend will sue

    No ones going to mention the stolen logo? Okay.

  26. the hater

    Wait murder mitten doesn’t actually make gloves? Wait their brand is based around you arranging an outline of the lower half of your state to replace a letter in a phrase that means nothing in illustrator one day? And you want people to give you their hard-earned money in support of this?

  27. Proffessor Macgonnagal

    Damn yall wild fo all dis. yall all wild. nigga sittin here tryna find his comb n shit and den i see all these niggas hatin an shit yall willin out do fo real

  28. @tharealcolorblyndapparel

    come on man why’d you have to be a dick. sorry everyone

  29. hmmmmm

    That Flossophy logo looks preeeetty similar to Ashbury’s.

  30. Real Creepin'

    Murder Mitten stole Real Creepin’s logo.

  31. heshratgnardog

    Didn’t you post an article a couple months back about buying our gear from local shops, and not online. Good luck supporting any of these companies without shopping online, unless you live in the city where they’re based.

  32. Madisen Goodman
