All Skateboard Logos

In all honesty, there isn't really a history of skateboarding per se, because no one really knows for sure quite where the skateboard came from, or when it was invent, or even who invented it. There is one theory that states the concept may have come from the old soapbox cars that were made on platforms. Regardless of where it came from, anyone can see that it is now one of the most popular hobbies around and all skateboard logos are displayed nearly everywhere the products are sold, touting theirs as the very best.

Skateboarding today is among the most popular sports around, and it is a world wide passion, not only as a sport and recreational vehicle but also as an art form and a challenge to skateboarders. They seek to master the sport, applying various mechanics and tricks to make themselves able to very nearly fly. Whether the ramp or the halfpipe, the skateboarders of today continue to increase the difficulty and the challenge to themselves and for those who are really serious about the sport, their lives are all skateboard. Logos for the sport began to crop up not long after it began in earnest. Like all things sporting, or all trends in general, the skateboarding trend hit the business world hard and many groups who sponsored other sports or sporting events invested their time and money into developing various items for the sport that bore logos. All skateboard logos are not created equal, ask anyone who is a skateboarder.

In the beginning skateboarding logos started out as simply logos on the skateboard alone, which was applied on the skateboard deck, the aspect of the board that the skateboarder stands on to do his ride. Later, companies begain to manufacture equipment such as safety equipment and other clothing that also began to sport all skateboard logos across them.

These items include sweatshirts, workout gear, helmets, kneepads, elbow pads, and even up to and including the wheels of the skateboard. All of them have become liable to be emblazoned with all skateboard logos, from Adidas to Airwalk, nearly every company in the world who creates some kind of sporting equipment or shoes has gotten on board the skateboarding craze, and skateboard riders seem to select a favorite brand and become remarkable loyal to it, featuring the logos on nearly everything they wear when skateboarding, whether its for fun or for competition.

All skateboard logos have one thing in common however. They all sell a product, and having that product seen on the skateboard of one of the most famous skateboarders in the world makes it a hot commodity, so skateboard equipment manufacturers all want to get that particular person to wear their equipment, to the point that they will donate literally thousands of dollars of gear to the right guy or girl.
