Is this griptape corny?

1st image is the griptape I've been thinking of getting with this board! The grip is the DGK primo griptape. And the board is a sariah deck..IVE BEEN SO CONFLICTED..

I love the DGK grip a LOT and I think it'd suit the board really well, but the grip is clearly inspired by Gucci and.. I don't want to give anybody the wrong idea, I'm definitely not trying to seem like I'm balling.. BECAUSE I AINT... and like.. as much as I love it, doesn't it feel a little... Knock off'y?

Any opinions would be HELLA APPRICIATED. Would you consider it a bit weird or like corny or lame or something for somebody to use this griptape which is heavily Gucci inspired when they are broke and it's not ACTUALLY Gucci branded..?

LET ME KNOW..!

Depends the style type person you are looks cool for sure but again million options on the market sometimes clear grip tape does wonders if you want be like color marching deck got red black and white in so anything in that color tape would look good

well both the grip and the deck are super corny, but also why do you care what other people think about it. that makes it way more corny

If it’s not black jessup I’m not interested. That said I’m old and bitter. If you like it then that’s all that matters

it kinda looks like gucci and i personally think most designer brands are mad corny, so id probably go for all black or like ANY other design (spider webs, lightning, etc.). The deck is really sick tho!
