A couple of months ago, Long Island’s very own Fifty First State just opened its door. Fifty First State (FFS) is now launching a new piece in collaboration with ELMCOMPANY.
Above and beyond a skate shop stocking brands ranging from In4mation to Girl, FFS is an in-house brand, which obtains a lot of its inspiration from the Long Island subculture. Fifty First State is located in a place rooted deeply in the soul of New York, however, FFS wants its voice to be heard over the shadows of the NYC skyline.
The first release of FFS pays honor to the area they reside within dropping the first Long Island fitted. The cap is in black and orange color that takes its inspiration from the original New York Giants baseball team that has a rich New York history. The front of the cap is an LI logo styled with a traditional early 1900’s font often found in the logos from teams of the same era.
The LI not only stands for Long Island, however, it also represents the roman numeral “51″ tying the logo directly back to the namesake Fifty First State. Only 51 pieces have been made and will be available 12/12 at noon at FFS.
