EC1 Collective

As a micron influencer (although I prefer μmmer, or someone with less than 10 followers) I'm happy for any shares and off cuts in your totally exempt-from-small-company-accounts-foreign-registered-entity

No single element of the kit is bad

the leg grippers. the pattern on the sleeves. the ec1 crest. that's
three.

Any one of those in isolation, you could probably cope with from a design perspective. It aint quite wafa, but it's liveable. But stick them altogether and it's a heaving great try-hard mess. The fact they have a fucking crest as well! All it does is compound how bad the logo is.

Look at the Rapha thread, people are desperate to spend money on something.

Thats me.

A brand coming close will definitely sell some gear

But I won't buy anything but. Then again that could just be me.

The Loopback jacket is nice.

If EC1 collective made commuter clothing it would feature rugby shorts and socks.

Okay, had it not been for EC1, I quite like that.

Sean Sako influencer extrodinaire is muscling in on Ec1

EC1 stem cap anyone???

Le Col made Rollapaluza kit back in 2011-12. They used to (and probably still do) make club kits. The quality was actually pretty good - I still have 2 or 3 jerseys. I don't really begrudge a guy making good quality kits for clubs.

Le Col custom kit is legit as are they IMO.

I don't think they are anything like Vulpine.

Not everyone wants to wear Raphia.

Someone needs to do a brand positioning matrix.

Arent all brands that come under 'shit rapha but same price' doomed/vulpine?

You are either DHB or Rapha. Anything in between is just meh. I get that not everyone wants to wear rapha, I dont approve of course.

Isn't that what you think of all brands?

Yes.

Someone needs to do a brand positioning matrix.

Easy.

Lol. When I said that people actually felt this way about anything that wasn't Rapha on the Vulpine thread, people asked me if I was on drugs and accused me of imagining it.
