I'm gonna go with EC, even though they never answer any questions i ask them, which in turn causes me to not buy from them. as a company they just seem sicker.
Empire seems like simons cash grab. When i look at their stuff theres no substance or creativity, its just a stock apparel company that throws a logo on a t-shirt, bandana, etc. and the logo isnt even creative, its an E written in like Galic or some shit. and even though they teamed up with akomplice, they still have zero cred to me, if anything they lowered akomplice's credability.
