With 5boro’s new Join or Die video set to premier next week, the New York skate label unveils a set of pro decks of the same name. The decks are illustrated to  each pro’s individual influence on the Join or Die snake, 5boro’s latest mascot. In order of appearance above: Dan Pensyl, Joe Tookmanian, Guillaume Dulout (France), Akira Ishizawa (Japan), Willy Akers, Danny Falla and Rafael Gomes (Brazil).

5boro states: The “Join, or Die” graphic and statement are a direct reference from Ben Franklin’s drawing made in 1754 visually strengthening his campaign for colonial unity. The snake has been re-illustrated into five pieces to represent The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens & Staten Island which collectively form NYC. For the 5boro Crew, the statement represents the dedication and brotherhood maintained since 1996.
