Best-selling snowboarding brand Burton has already released a sneak peek of its 2012 lineup. A series of shirts, part of the Burton 2012 collection seems to have taken inspiration from the packaging of products such as Jack Daniels, Listerine, Hennessy and others.
The shirts from the Burton 2012 collection are tastefully humorous and are great to wear on and off the slopes. Long sleeve shirts are preferred by snowboarders due to them being lightweight, breathable and also protective of arms, which prevents sunburn.
The leak only shows a sneak peek of five shirts, but I'm sure Burton has made a few others with similar themes. It's a fun idea that brings fashion and pop culture together in a great package.
