Kick It. Push It. Flip It. — The Story Behind the FN Work Shirt

Kick It. Push It. Flip It. — The Story Behind the FN Work Shirt

This isn’t just a shirt. It’s a battle jacket for the streets.

The Fake News short-sleeve work shirt is a loud nod to the grind — the physical grind of skate culture and the mental grind of staying original in a world that recycles trends like trash. Every patch, print, and phrase on this piece was chosen with intention. Let’s break it down:

The Skatepark Blueprint

“Kick it. Push it. Flip it.” — That mantra didn’t come from some corporate boardroom. It was born in cracked-concrete parks, on late-night curb sessions, from the sound of trucks slamming against coping and boards snapping under pressure. This shirt lives in that moment. Whether you skate or not, it’s about movement, rhythm, and flipping the script when the world says stay in place.

Industrial Roots

Built like a uniform, styled like rebellion. This work shirt channels the spirit of punk, DIY zines, and old-school shop crews. The boxy cut, sharp collar, and patch placements mirror garage mechanic vibes — because real style doesn’t need gloss. It needs grit.


Symbolism in the Details

                 

  • Left Chest: FN – representing Fake News, your rebellion in motion.
  • Right Chest: EST. 2025 B.C. – because this culture is timeless.
  • Center Front: FLIPPER – a nod to your next trick, or your next move.
  • Lower Hem: A crew of sketched characters glow with vibrant yellow halos—skaters, dreamers, outcasts, united.
  • Back Graphic: KICK IT. PUSH IT. FLIP IT. – the mantra of the movement, built with bold graffiti textures that demand attention.
  • Real Ones Wear It

This shirt was made to be worn, tagged up, and lived in — not hung up. You’ll see it at the park, on the street, in the pit. It’s already got stories. All it needs now is yours.
