Brand Cavendish

[tigger]

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else. Thought it may be of interest to the Specialized fan boys out there. Will Cav and Peta become the new Posh and Becks?

At an event in London yesterday (24 June), the sportsman revealed he has teamed up with cycling equipment maker Specialized to roll out a dedicated range of cycling products.
The products will carry a new, predominantly-green logo, featuring the letters CVNDSH, to represent Cavendish’s "unwavering pursuit of the colour green". The sprint cyclist is known for his outspoken interviews and the brand’s tagline will be "Fst as Fck".

Reminds me of PRML SCRM around the time of XTRMTR

The FSTASFCK tagline is trying a bit hard to be edgy instead it just comes across as a bit cheap and tacky.

They should look at what the Great European Vowel Famine did to Polish before they start removing our letters.

Am I a Cav fanboy? Check.
Am I a Speccy fanboy? Double check.

Am I motivated to go out and buy Cav branded Speccy stuff? Er, no.

I know I'm not Cav, and as much as I love watching him race and greatly admire his achievements, it's just not the same Beckham-esque hero worship which means I have to have something purely because he's endorsed it.

Largely because I am not 12 years old.

Strc prst skrz krk!

Exactly, and Professor Zbigniew Prlwytzkofsky has already started to attack Dutch!

Navrh brda vrba mrda.... i srpski, boga mi!

That has vowels! And unless the similarity to Czech is misleading is not suitable for family viewing!

I imagine the similarity is misleading in this phrase. It's about a hilltop willow tree.

I once chastised a Serbian friend for speaking a language with too many adjacent vowels; they have prst, krv, vrh and similar in Serbian. It was my loss that we were approaching Knightsbridge Station on the District Line at the time. He assured me that no word in Serbian had six consonants in a row.

I lost that rant.

It's the verb that clearly has a different meaning in Czech This happens a lot in Slavic languages. Same word different meaning.

There has been four different Cavendish Venge's from Specialized so it does not seem to far different from what has been done so far.

The very first product under the new brand though is the Cav 100 Limited Edition Venge

Also was it just me that thought the title of this thread was some form of threat to Cav win a red hot poker????
