The much awaited dope interview, with sherman of fli pelicans.

Pelicans; Well I been into Fashion and Business all my life. I always the different one in school and around the hood. I was the only dude in the hood riding a skate board while all the Dopeboys was on the corner doing there dang. and its crazy how Nino(FLI PELICAN CEO) got hook up with each other. I was on Facebook as everyone else and ran by Nino and I was like a kid in a candy store when i saw the designs. I hit him up about cop some gear and so happen that he was hitting me up about coming aboard to help move FLI PELICAN to another level. So we talked and now we are here today. The line has been around for about 1 1/2 now and For those who does know. The Pelican symbol stands for SELFNESS and FLI stands for Finding Love Inside. just become yourself and don’t follow suit. Also, everything is done in house, no out source other then I our New Era Fitteds. All designs are created out by hand, printed and tagged all by hand and made after order. Nothing is sitting around waiting to get shipped. They are freshly printed and tagged once order is placed.
Who do you try to target?
Pelicans; Well there is no certain market we try to target. Basically we target any and everyone that likes to be different and not afraid to step outside the box.
Okay where do you see fli pelicans go in the future?
Pelicans; I am guess you are asking where do I see FLI PELICAN going in the future, well I see Fli Pelican has one of the top sickest urban Clothing line in the fashion Market. We also are working on the FPMG(fli pelican music group) so be on the look out for that alone with some more other FLI PELICAN moves that I can’t speak on at this time. but make sure you stay tune to http://www.flipelican.com/blog
What is your view on dope?
Pelicans; WOW well my view is really simple, just something that is different and not your everyday thing or lifestyle.
What is your favorite brand?
Pelicans; hahahaha!! Was that a trick question or something!! Come on now FLI PELICAN is my favorite Brand. I guess outside of that I would say I like Kid Robot, The Hundreds, District 81(Out Of Det), BBC, Married To the Mob and a few others.
What do you think makes a brand a success?
Pelicans; I have to say that first it starts out the Mind set of the creator of the brand. You have to want to be different and not trying to follow and do what everyone else is doing. do your research on brands and the business side of fashion. You have to have a great team on hand as well as great people around you for the right reason and not just around because of trying to use your brand name for there own use and for free gear and events and parties. Network is the big key, you have to get out of your box and go out and hit these other markets up. don’t jump on event that is put in your eye because the same way that may can help you can kill you at the same time. and like I said before THINK outside the box and don’t ever think you have made it because you can always be better and bigger then what you are.
Who are you looking foward of working with?
Pelicans; Umm well no certain people really, I would say anyone that wants to work with us on some straight up for real tip. No messing and bulling around.
What is your favorite article of clothing in your brand
Pelicans; hahahaha!! Man I am loving this trick questions, every PEICE that is made by FLI PELICAN is my favorite.
Fli’ Pelicans has a music group?
Pelicans; Yes it’s call FLI PELICAN MUSIC GROUP and we are currently working with Earl Mac(out of DET also sign to Big Sean Label Finally Famous) and our ATL chapter team Member Young Riez.

Will you be having giveaways?
Does everything you create hit shelfs?
Pelicans; I have to say not it does not. Most designs are made for Online only and some are made for that region that has FLI PELICAN feature in there store. you can catch FP at Burn Rubber(DET),Leaders(CHI), SNKY(St Louis), Trendsetterz(Canada), Sneak Peek(Memphis) and a few more other shops we are finalizing on as we speak.
