Fred Perry continues to celebrate its 60th anniversary and has now teamed up with A Bathing Ape on a few pieces. The logos, the two brands, it all sounds great and promising. Imagining the Bape head logo next to the Laurel logo of Fred Perry on their classic polo shirts is a great combo and at first it looks like that is what they did unfortunately I dont like at all…just as I thought the Stussy Colab a couple of years ago wasnt the George (best) either when will huge brands realise thats sometimes less is more…What do you guys think?
