gsp-affliction-tee

Georges St. Pierre may have no future opponents currently lined up, but that hasn’t stopped Affliction from releasing another signature shirt to a quickly growing line of GSP tees. The new t-shirt is printed on a black distressed cotton tee, and features the Affliction name on the top of the shirt on both the front and back, while St. Pierre’s name and nickname are written across the bottom of the front and back of the shirt. As with most of Affliction’s t-shirts, the new GSP tee has a war crest design on both the front and back.

Sorry guys. We were wrong in saying that Brandon Vera was due to walkout with the Jaco Philippines walkout tee but at the last minute switched his game up and became the proof that shows Affliction clothing is allowed once again in the UFC. Check out the Affliction website for more details and we again apologize for the mix up.

GSP-Justice-Signature-Series-Tee

Now that they have put their promotion days behind them, Affliction will focus all of its energy on its high-end apparel business. Already a recognizable brand in most MMA venues, Affliction will once again try and establish itself as a premier brand within the most influential organization – the UFC. Georges St. Pierre was one of the fighters who originally partnered with Affliction prior to them entering the fight promotion side of the business. Now that it is no longer “banned” inside the octagon, Afflcition has released this GSP Justice Signature Series Tee. The charcoal lava wash t-shirt is 100% cotton and features the Affliction name on the front and St. Pierre’s name on the back. Along with blue eagle wings prominently displayed on the front and back are several silver foil accents.

Affliction: Clothing Company or Fight Organization

In a story first reported by Yahoo Sports, Affliction Entertainment has not only canceled next Saturday’s event but has also ceased all promotional activities. The story has subsequently been confirmed by numerous sources, and apparently a deal is to quickly fall in place that will see Affliction become a brand sponsor of its rival promotion, the UFC.

To say it has been a crazy week for Affliction would be a massive understatement. In a period of three days, they have gone from losing one of their main event fighters to a failed drug test, scrambling to find a replacement, canceling the entire card, ceasing all promotional activities, and now apparently reaching a deal with the UFC – which has hinted at planning a press conference next Friday where this will no doubt be a major conversation piece.  Furthermore, this leaves us with a few more unanswered questions, what happens to all of the fighters under contract, and what happens to all of those Affliction Trilogy t-shirts??

Affliction: Clothing Company or Fight Organization

It seems like possibly one of the most successful clothing companies in MMA history is starting to bite off more than it can chew.

You can normally see the Affliction fashion show at any UFC sporting event. Not anymore. Dana White has prohibited Affliction to be worn by it’s contracted Athletes. Elite XC has followed suit. Can you see the trend?

Fiveouncesofpain.com reports that an event scheduled for July 19th between Fedor Emelianenko and former UFC title-holder Tim Sylvia, has also been canned.

It’s time Affliction play in their own backyard and continue making cash selling $60 tees and sponsoring awesome athletes instead of biting the hands that feed them.

That’s Gymtop’s 2 cents. :)

Update

It looks like Affliction will officially become fight promoters. Now they can showcase their clothing at their own events.
