Long Island’s own FIFTY FIRST STATE just opened its doors a couple months ago and is now releasing a new piece in collaboration with ELMCOMPANY. Besides a skate shop stocking brands ranging from In4mation to Girl, FFS is an in house brand that draws a lot of its inspiration from the Long Island subculture. Located in a place rooted deeply in the soul of New York but wanting to make their voice heard over the shadows of the NYC skyline, FFS’s first release pays homage to the area they reside within dropping the first Long Island fitted. The cap’s black and orange coloring takes its inspiration from the original New York Giants baseball team, which has a rich New York history having been started in 1883 and calling New York home until the 1950’s when they moved to to San Francisco. 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, but 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. These will be gone quick, so don’t sleep on this release.
