Bad Bart
It’s one thing to rip off someone else and attempt to make money off of their success. It’s another thing to completely butcher it. I remember seeing these t-shirts at flea markets and such where you could also buy the fake Oakley sunglasses, or Foakleys as we liked to call them.

FUBU
FUBU is a clothing company. It includes casual wear, sports wear, a suit collection, eyewear, belts, and shoes for the African-American community in the sense of economic investment but not to be exclusively worn by African Americans. The name is sometimes considered a blackronym for “For Us By Us”, implying the product line was produced for a primarily African-American market. The original meaning of FUBU was “Five Urban Brothers United,” but the “For us, by us” line later took root as the clothing line expanded.
