I was talking with my wife the other day about old school t-shirts. I thought I'd bring the discussion back here.
Hypercolor
No Fear
Coed-Naked
Big-Johnson:
Also, the Absolut t-shirts, which I can't seem to find a good image of.
Personally I owned a few Hypercolor shirts and one coed-naked shirt for skiing. From 1992-1994, about 20% of my school was wearing one of these shirts at at any given time. Some of the shirts were eventually banned.

The only people who would wear that Big Johnson shirt are people who aren't getting laid, or they're fucking nasty.

The band Machinehead must have some sort of endorsement with No Fear, I see them wear that stuff all the time.
You know what would be really bad? A Hypercolor Big Johnson shirt.

Oh I remember No Fear.
This has been bugging me for a while, and this is the perfect thread to bring it up in. Does anyone remember those shirts (they were No Fear era I think) that were branded "Rusty" and had pictures of skeletal clowns/jack-in-the-boxes on them? I remember those so vividly (I hated 'em) but have not been able to find a single solitary thing about them anywhere. So strange.

It sounds vaguely familiar but I couldn't find any examples image searching.

I know right? I once spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to locate an example somewhere, ANYWHERE, and came up with nothing. Google No Fear though and the designs are all over the place. So odd.

I remember the Big Johnson T-Shirts, I always read them as a kid and would snicker at the sexual innuendos.

You want to talk about OLD SCHOOL?
I never got crazy with it, but I had a buddy that had the 24" Kangaroos.

Cause that's how I roll bounce. |

You know about Big Dog guy, he's 6' 4", 250 and has a grey beard, wears a mullet and sunglasses with the strapped wrapped around his head (think Danny McBride).
Also lame: those "insert random sport here" is life shirt. Those are so 1995.

Oh yeah? I'm pretty sure I actually wore my pants backwards at some point.
Wait, I should keep that to myself.

JNCO jeans, they made obnoxiously huge bell bottom jeans, like 28" around at the bottom of each leg, popular in the mid to late 90s.

Oh man, what memories. Hypercolor shirts were awesome. I also remember the Big Johnson shirts (which were banned at the schools I went to) and the looney tunes one.
Here's some that were popular in NorCal in the 90s:
Regarding this shirt, I remember you also were considered a huge dork if you couldn't draw the Stussy "S" and there were kids who would teach other kids to draw it using a certain configuration of lines, like this:
I also had a few shirts that were kind of like this one, but way more 90s. Basically you couldn't read them up close because they were somewhat pixellated:

I forgot about those. They were so obnoxious. I think a 4 foot wallet chain came standard with them where I'm from.

I had a few pair of JNCO jeans in middle school, had some large patch of a mad scientist on them.
And I could draw the "S" as well
Oh and everyone also wore Tommy Hilfiger.

I was thought it was Tommy Hilfinger and actually thought they had misspelled it ob the clothes. And remember when those huge, puffy sports team jackets were huge? Some brand like Starting Lineup, but not that because that was the line of baseball figures. Help me out here people...

I remember the hypercolor shirts.
The concept's pretty awesome, but in practice it's practically begging everybody and their mother to grope you to no end.

What's funny is I wore the shit out of Big Dog shirts when I was in middle school, even though I was a short skinny kid.

Starter Jackets, hell yeah. I had one (still do) and remember begging my parents for it. I also made sure they KNEW without a DOUBT that it MUST be the Starter brand and not one of the cheaper knock offs. Kids could tell which was which.
This is the one I had:
I remember they cost like $100 back in the day which was a ton of money for a jacket that a 13 year old would wear.

We can't talk about JNCOs without pictures, the logo doesn't really explain it.
