Australian Company?

Being aquired by Quicksilver in 2004...wouldn't that make the rumor of 2000 some what real? "was bought by Quicksilver, - Not this part --->Ken got all the money, fired Damon so Danny quit."

But why?!

The article doesn't mention why everyone who wants to be cool puts a giant DC logo on their car. Curious minds want to know. --Buddy13 10:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Miscellaneous Trivia Removal

Edson the drummer for Torre Fuerte wears DC Shirts in every Sunday

DC meaning

Google Droors City Footwear and you'll see it was actually Dope City Footwear, unless a lot of other sites are wrong. 70.242.160.137 (talk) 03:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Query

what does the "DC" stand for?

Wouldn't it be the same as Washington DC?

>> yeah, if Ken and Damon were dumb enough to name their company 'District of Columbia Shoes'.

It explains quite clearly in the article where the name came from. Teamgoon 19:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
