dye products being ripped off?

[snowythehobo]

in this months PGI i noticed all the new dye C4 stuff (looking very sweet...) and the goggle fan and game timer in their big adverts... but then i noticed in the second half of the magazing a company (name beginning with 'P' i cant remember cos i dont have it with me) that their new range looked very similar, then i turned over the next page to see an invision style goggle system complete with a fan and an identical game timer! i must say im confused and i dont understand why dye have sold there designs?

can somebody enlighten me on this?

It's 'Proto' - Dye's new second label (replacing the 'Excel' brand)

oh i see.... but why release 2 version of there stuff? just for more money?

They are probably the quality seconds from the DYE factory...rather than just bin a pr of pants coz the stiching went funny, they bung it out under another brand name, at a cheaper price.
Im waiting for em to fcuk up a DM4 Matrix, and bung that out cheap!!

Proto replaces their Xcel line.
it's dye gear, but cheaper than the C4 line, made for entry and mid level players.

Well next season I will mostley be wearing angel gear. Not to be confused with the chimp who will be mostley wearing angel thongs. Might buy a pair of dye pants for the journey though.
