re: The strangest fad I’ve seen to date. I feel like my childhood is under attack.

would have never worn corporate advertising or themes sponsored by “the man”.

Interesting. Rarely do I see the youts wearing private corporate logos. Now NASA, that is all over the kids these days. I certainly missed the memo when that became popular.

Although I will say that Champion has been noticeably revived and popular again since it’s hayday from the 80s.

Baw my parents wouldn’t buy me the Coca Cola shirt. Instead I had knock off that had no print on the horizontal white stripe. I was pissed back then but looking at pics now the shirt doesn’t look as trashy.

When I got to junior high, in 1972, Levi's jeans were the first thing I ever asked my mom to buy by brand. Grew up wearing Wranglers and a lot of TownCraft and PennPress tags in shirts, pants, PJ's, and underwear. You'd have thought we had JC Penny stock.

Growing up a hardcore member of Jockdom, I wore a shoes, tees, and warm-up suits adorned with Puma, Converse, Adidas, and eventually Nike.

Ran the mile & two mile in high school. Got into running for fun in college. I wanted some Reebok running shoes when you had to order them from England from an ad in Runner's World. I wore lots of Brooks shoes in the 80's.

Now I'm 62, and wear nothing but New Balance. Even have some of their Dunham boots.

I had a JOLT cola shirt back in the 80s

Funny thing is the only people that I ever saw wearing NASCAR jackets were black.

Those were all gang members. Can't wear 'colors' in public but you can wear a Jeff Gordon / Tony Stewart jacket without getting hassled by the cops.

My almost 12yr old daughter loves lululemon and old band tees like nirvana, flogging molly, and Led Zeppelin. I don’t know wtf your kids are wearing. Cheetos sweatshirts?
