Why is this so accurate I owned one and never watched a single basketball game in my life

      In the uk randomly I had a branded ball , had never seen a basketball game ever played even on tv

      I absolutely remember this. Most weren’t even basketball fans… but damn if that jacket didn’t drip.

    3. I had hornets stuff. Had a vague idea it was basketball. I have *zero* idea why I wanted to wear the merch so bad.

    4. It’s the same with multiple teams and multiple sports. The Raiders gear was huge on the west coast when NWA repped them. UNLV basketball was well represented in the 80’s and early 90’s and people who didn’t even watch college basketball had a Runnin Rebels jacket. Larry Johnson went to UNLV and then played for the Hornets so there’s a connection there.

      I was that kid. Core memory unlocked. I remember spending hours drooling over every page of my monthly Eastbay catalogs, mentally ordering so many awesome clothes.

    6. I had this and knew nothing about the hornets team. I think the colors were just the epitome of the 90s style.

    7. Miami dolphins starter jacket here. Caught fire from pouring gas in my snowmobile. My whole back and left shoulder look narly.

    8. I actually liked the team. I was big into basketball, Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning were both amazing young talents at the time. I had a hornets jackets, a pistons one, and a pacers jacket. I got one when the raptors became the expansion team as well. That was probably my favorite one.

    9. Parents couldn’t find me the Charlotte one so I had to settle for the carolina panthers
