Quotes
Splatoon
| “ | The Firefin logo, a stylized blowfish, has long been a favorite of squid-hop set and anyone else who likes to keep it 100. Fans dig the loose fit and laid-back vibe that has become Firefin signature. Did you know that Firefin fans are up to ten times more likely to take selfies in front of graffiti while gazing into the distance? | ” |
Splatoon 3
| “ | Squid Research Lab Fashion Desk intern on deck! Have you stared into the angry eyes of the FishFry? Then you're already familiar with Firefin, the gear brand for the streets, by the streets. Feel gritty - look fresh. Like diving into the ocean after getting sand in your shorts. | ” |
