If you’re in the market to pick up a Supreme FTP tee from S/S17, you should be aware that their have been fakes made of this piece. Today, I’ll be teaching you guys exactly how to legit check this piece, and make sure it’s an authentic piece from Supreme. So let’s get into it.
Fake Supreme FTP Tee Flaws
- Lines Under Words
- Graphic/Word Placement
- Tag Trademark Logo/Color
Lines Under Words Flaw:
For this flaw, we will be looking at the underlining lines under the “Fuck the president” text above the graphic on the front of the tee. On the fake tees, the lines under the words are just generally off. From the line under the “Fuck” word not being thick enough, to the small bits of line under the word “the”, to the line under the word “president” not being thick enough. This is one of the easiest ways to legit check these tees, once you’re familiar with the flaw. On the authentic tee, you shouldn’t be able to see any line under the word “the” at all.
Here’s an example picture:
Graphics/Word Placement Flaw:
For this flaw we will be looking at how the graphic lines up with the words above it. For the left most part of the graphic, it should directly line up to the left of the “F” in the first word, while on the fake tee, it goes through the letter “F”. For the right most part of the graphic, it should go up to the “t” in the last word, but shouldn’t go through the “n”, which it does on the fake. Kind of hard to explain, but you should be able to see the differences in the example picture.
Here’s an example picture:
Tag Trademark Logo/Color Flaw:
For this flaw, we will be looking at the trademark “R” logo on the tag. On the fake tees, the trademark logo is a bolded font, and to thick. It shouldn’t be bolded at all on the authentic tee. The red color in the Supreme logo and in the size is also the wrong shade of red on the fakes, should be easy to see the difference in the example picture.
