urdu script is recognizably related to arabic script but also recognizably not identical. the internet is telling me there is more than one form for farsi script? but at least one of those looks identical to arabic script to me. so the meaning of the word on the hoodie could be breakfast?

but v4hid identifed it as an arabic word and he reads farsi, so maybe it's def not farsi.

i don't think the shirt is racist but i am confused. does the company market shirts in the west?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:09 (fourteen years ago)
what happened, etc.
Not that i speak Arabic, but it's definitely 'subhan' as in 'subhan allah'.
Is it meant to convey the idea that, like the word, other things are meaningless without god? Is it a comment on censorship? Is it suggestive of a void at the heart of the human experience? Is it just something that someone saw written down somewhere and thought it looked cool?

xps, it's Supreme - a NY streetwear brand.
i know, right? i need to know!

arabic is a beautiful language, so maybe it is just that someone thought it looked cool, but that kind of thing drives me insane. meaning! meaning is important!
― horseshoe, Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:14 (fourteen years ago)
Okay but I would still wear a shirt that said "breakfast."
― drawn to them like a moth toward a spanakopita (Laurel), Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:14 (fourteen years ago)
afaik, Supreme works with quite a few visual artists so there's a good chance there was some kind of meaning behind it.

― (he did what!) (Austerity Ponies), Thursday, 8 March 2012 19:21 (fourteen years ago)
is that arabic word "subhan" meaning "glory"?

and the camel shorts were supreme, just wondering if this may be an attempt to translate the brand name? their logo is also white text on red too, so

the farsi word for breakfast is actually probably more closely transliterated as sobooneh rather than subhaneh, the second is like a very posh pronunciation of the word and i didn't mean to imply there's any connection between the two words (aside from being false cognates)
the shorts being supreme is part of what made me think they might be "camel jockey" pants since supreme likes to court controversy and wind people up (one of their popular logo they've used for a few seasons now just says "Fuck You!")
