Ugliest ski graphic?

Started this same thread about a year ago because of this specific brand:

I don't know why it's so hard for some companies to not put actual throw up on their skis. Look at this fucking monstrosity. This looks like a microsoft powerpoint template.

Also, the italics... I don't think there's one season that goes by without a big brand throwing their logo in italics right across the tips and tails. Euro brands especially.

This shit gets me so worked up lol

Italics make you go faster
 
I would not say ugliest, but Rossignol really outdid themselves on these Scratches. I bought them for 100$ because I was desperate to ride park without destroying my good skis.

Man as someone who rocked the fuck out of these skis. I don't think there was ever a better chairlift convo starter.

I like the topsheet actually.

And a fun ski for having no rocker

I know, but that topsheet was so heinous, I got the telemark version ( exact same ski, different graphics)

those skis were fun BECAUSE they had camber. so stable and poppy...and candyland.
 
A wonderful all around ski actually. I'd love to have that same dimensions with newer build developments

I can’t be the only one that hates this graphic. I love the making fun of uphill nerds and think it would be a great $2 sticker, but as a ski graphic I think this is terrible.

The K2 Juvy. They were my first twin tip ski as a kid but I absolutely hated the graphics. I’ve always hated the flashiness of bright colors on skis which is unfortunate now because I got Magnus 102s but these skis were just terrible to the eye. Not to mention that they were identical so there was no uniform to which ski went to which foot.

honestly those were my first twin tip too and I actually loved the graphic because of how unique they were. I didn't like how they were both the same graphic on both skis but that wasn't an actual gripe for these skis

Did you get roasted for using kids bindings? How many times did you eject? Do you use kids boots? Do you weigh under 80lbs?

Why is every Jskis graphic either a loud-ass photoshop collage, too plain, or a bad joke. If they made some simple looking skis with black bases I would probably consider buying them.

Simple skis with black bases? Might I interest you in the solomon qst or nordica enforcer series? Or literally any other mass consumer market ski?

I'm thinking more like an armada zero ski or a k2 poacher. Simple designs can still be distinctive. I just think Jskis needs to show some more restraint, I could put half of their skis in this thread

Sounds like you really aren't the kind of person that J Skis markets towards... Maybe you would be interested in something more bland, maybe Nordica or Rossi?

Facts lmao. Ski graphics are subjective, nobody can please every single skier

I honestly hate when skis dont have one continuous graphic, it seems like a waste of space because they couldve done more
 
gonna have to agree with this one. not a fan of the ski on top of a ski. all that extra white space on the topsheet doesnt look the best imo

Some people may be down but I never liked the 2010 4FRNT VCT graphics:

idk if they were tryna copy Metallica's "blood and seamen" design or whatever but they need a new graphic designer over at Rossi. Looks like they put sand, spit, and piss on a top sheet, pressed it and were like "yup, this it it". Honestly you have to see them in person to really tell but...can't say I'm a fan.

Anyone else just realizing that the top sheet is a cross country ski on a white canvas? That’s hilarious
 
Something about the lack of art on Black Crow topsheets, I can't even look at them.

Like, you know how when there's a junkie injecting drugs scene in a movie, people who are scared of needles close their eyes and turn away. It's like that.

It's so bland, so lawful, so branded, so enslaved to itself, so generic, so uninspiring.

I assume their users are some impassioned elitist whose athleticism doesnt intersect with art and soul.

When the skis look like clones, so do their users.

Edit. Mmm not owners but users

What an interesting brand. They aight tho, I'd love to try riding em. Fascinating to see how a splitboard manufacturer would go about designing a pair of skis like that.

Happy to provide some comic relief to the serious subject of ski topsheets. And happy you enjoyed my comic relief. :)

Appreciate the love on the reckoners.

Sorry we’re missing ya on the poachers but since that ski has been around for a while we’re trying to give it a different look than it’s been in the past. Always good to keep things moving forward and trying different things.
