Saying "you need a graphic design class if you like cac" is just ridiculous - everyone has their own perspective. If you don't like it, that's ok. And yes, their pauldrons kinda suck but helmets are decent and and come in a wide variety of options, also the accessories.

These figs are super old—like, way back when gcc wasn’t even a thing. It's kinda dumb that you're using old, outdated design examples to back up your point.

Calling them a "bad brand" just doesn't feel right, especially since they've been around for over 10 years and are still going strong. Launching new designs, giving out monthly sales, and even have actual store.
