 <\/p>\n


\n<\/a>What label,brand, or company are you with? And what is your title.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TEAM PHUN<\/a><\/h3>\n

Jaime, President
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What kind of products do you guys specialize in?<\/strong><\/p>\n

TEAM PHUN<\/strong><\/em><\/span> is a San Diego based good-humor lifestyle apparel and
\naccessories company that promotes fun, fashion, and friendships. We
\nfeature novelty products from our Sunday Phunday Neon Tanks to our
\nASTROBOARD, which is a combination of the popular vinyl cruisers and
\nan astroturf board top, providing the rider the most comfortable
\nbarefoot ride around!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did Team Phun get into this business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My brother started the company a few years back. 3 days after
\ngraduation college at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, I
\nmoved out to San Diego to run this company with him. Since then we
\nhave progressed exponentially.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Football Player<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a clothing brand where does Team Phun get their inspiration for designs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What kind of thought process goes into your collection?
\nInspiration comes from our lifestyle, family, our surroundings. I am
\nblessed to have a great opportunity on our hands at such a young age,
\nso much of my inspiration comes from my youth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does Team Phun “Brand Jacking” where a brand mimics the
\ndesigns of another brand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think brand jacking is funny if other brands are mimicing designs
\nof brand logos. In terms of stealing designs, it’s straight up wrong.
\nBut I guess there is legal system for that: Get your stuff trademarked
\nor patented!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you come up with the name for your brand Team Phun? What does it mean
\nor stand for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

PHUN is spelled with a PH because everyone has their own way have
\nhaving fun, and we do it with a PH. We encompass the TEAM because we
\nwant everyone to be involved! TEAM PHUN!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the explosion of social media, what does Team Phun do to build
\nbrand exposure? What social network is most important to Team Phun<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facebook has most certainly been a huge aspect of our company. We use
\nFacebook to feed to our Instragram, Youtube, and Twitter channels. We
\nget a really good response from posting funny pictures, videos, or
\neven doing our monthly comment contest.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is one style from the past that you wish was still popular?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parachute Pants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a current trend that you cannot stand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Skinny Jeans on guys… But I’m guilty sometimes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Snapback or Fitted? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snap. That’s OG, man.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Low tops or High Tops? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lil’ Wayne always told me to get low.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on todays street wear scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturated. Seems like it’s all the same stuff. That’s why Team Phun is here:
\nbringing fun back to the market!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What does Team Phun see for the future of this industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope it becomes more smaller thriving companies. From my
\nexperience, there is so much out there that small companies have to
\noffer in the designs, ideas, etc. It’s a shame that there’s big-wig
\ncompanies taking over the apparel industry.<\/p>\n
