Myself and BMP were kicking it around Rondebosch School(Ahhh...good memories) on Saturday to watch our team partake in a spot of rugby.
In between marvelling and wondering why the school girls were not so skanky in our day, we noticed a poor, poor advertisment.
I have always been a Nike person, it's just my choice. Lately CapeStorm also seem to be kitting my mountain bike rides out. But I have never owned anything from Patrick.
And now I see why. Their ad at the rugby simply said "Two stripes are enough" Are you fucking joking? This is obviously referring to the three stripes of David Beckhams preferred brand, Adidas. It is so poor! They are basically saying they have given up on trying to be a good brand, and are happy with last place. It's like "Our boots are good enough. They are not the best. They won't get you to the end of a game in comfort, they don't have any special features, but they are ok. They will just let you finish a game"
This is shocking. When your brand is doing so badly, is it not time to close the company down? Does anyone actually still remember Patrick, or where you could buy their shit?
Too bizarre.

I actually used to have a pair of patrick's back when I played for the springbok U14 E team, I was a fairly heavy chap back then, and I only had to wear those bad boys once and BAM bloody toes. Nice. two stripes are enough. Sure, if you're snorting columbian marching powder off the back of a toilet in Caprice.
