This is the anti-anti-gun thread.

First and foremost, Starter jackets were the shit. All my friends had one, and almost everyone wanted the Charlotte Hornets turquoise jacket (pocket in the front). I was poor and liked bad baseball, so I had a White Sox one:

Ken Griffey, Jr. was also the shit, and my holy grail was buying a pair of his Nike Air Griffey Max shoes (couldn't find a photo of the originals):

Image

The Bulls second championship was really the first one I remember watching with any real interest. I definitely had this shirt:

Wait a minute... you mean my video game can talk to me?!?

Just to show how cool I was, here is the awesome starter jacket I was rocking. Except I think mine was some knockoff that we got at the flea market.

When you guys were rocking Starter jackets, I was wearing the look of 56% of retired pro athletes after one year.

I can honestly say I have never seen that contraption, that looks painful.


The Greg Norman shirt is sweet though.

It is the Greg Norman Secret training aid. And the man wearing the Greg Norman shirt is Greg Norman.

Did the training aid cure the blocks to the right when you are coming down the stretch of a Major?

Alonzo Mourning is a bitch.

I still remember him in the 1997 playoffs vs. Orlando...he was a thug in Game 5...molesting Darrell Armstrong at the end of the game with no call.



You were like 8 in 97.


Cool story, bro.

I had the originals back in 1988 in red, blk and white....

Couldn't find the right image but I was rocking a Miami Heat Starter jacket in 1990. Said Heat on
the back and had the flaming ball going through the hoop on the front.

Have a knit sweatter with this logo on the front of it from 1990 ( still have it and wear it in the fall )

Image

Had this starter jersey circa 1992

These are the 3 favorite shoes I used to have before I realized it was way more hipster to rock some addidas or puma lows.

I love the character shirts. In addition to this I had a 89 bengals, 91 packers majik and the miracles, various bulls championship shirts and for some reason a detroit red wings championship with the octopus.

Don't forget the Umbros!!!
