Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[frush11]

we weren't as baggy as NY and Bmore, but it was pretty bad , especially in the counties where the public schools have more out of towners

and at the peak of the glitter headbands and hoodies with drop socks and rubberbands, dudes were saggin heavy.

also i'm not sure how old you are but if you weren't in high school for at least part of this era, you obviously didn't see the worst of it

Maybe you was around bammas, shyt like wasn't the norm, it was the exception. Yeah i would the Blazer and button up guys, but that was really it. The Jersey thing, didn't much, and if I did it was of the long sleeved football ones, that for most part looked pretty good.

We R One, Madness, HOBO, etc. They sold Lux T shirts (which were super baggy) and had those ridiculous shorts.

Maybe in that part of PG, but in my part of PG, NW, we were'nt dressing like that.

Yeah them brands were popular, but I didn't see that many people rocking oversized baggy shyt.

every gogo musician, the top of whom were the real tastemakers in the area, was rocking baggy ass We R One, Madness, DDtP, etc

edit: i guess DDtP is a lil before this era, same shyt

18-20 year olds thinking we were "Grown and sexy"

and yeah, the liquor stuff was even worse. People would walk around with Crown Royal bottles they spent the rest of their refund check on.

The liquor dikkriding still goes on today tho.


when this shyt started to get popular, thats when I started to ask questions.

I remember that ugly shyt, but then folks had the fake teams on their jackets or jeans too. That was the true nadir.

Had girls wearing halter tops with "New York" and "Chicago" and "Miami" all over it.

Pen bringing up them logos on jeans My God. With timbs.

Where can I go to learn the basics of soccer? I sometimes tune in but I don't really know what's going on.

There's too much to know

you should only know how much you want to know

its not too hard. the ball is round. 11 v 11. keepers, defense, midfielders, strikers.

of course the easiest thing to do, since there's no overlap with american sports, just weekend mornings with the english league. for example boxing day (26th) is a big soccer day in the uk and there'll be games all day

you're on one here. I remember seeing Backyard, UCB, TCB, and every other popular gogo band rocking LuxeT shirts. I remember seeing people rocking the Madness headbands that you tied up and the big shorts and sweats with slouch socks and some 996s.

Those were big in the area.

Yeah we always rocked sweats, shorts(but not the ones coming down to our ankles) and all the local wears, but for most part people in this area, weren't ridiculous with xxxxxxxl type shyt.

And maybe cause I graduated in 2000, so I didn't see as much as your did. But a size bigger isn't baggy or oversized. I'll the main style for a long time here, was comfortable and loose, but not baggy to me. I really after about 02, didn't really many people rocking Hobo, Madness. That was more of a High School, and middle school thing

I contemplated going out to do some last minute shopping(gift for moms & Unlce) but fukk that, work got me drain, i'll leave that shyt to tomorrow.

Bright and early day, got hit up the barbershop too, can't stand this time of the year(other than the holiday bonus. Gotta work on Christmas too

We all know the biggest tune from that era, surprised no one has posted it, and I hated them R Kelly and Jay-Z tunes, even tho I bought the album, used to buys music like crazy. Damn I miss record shops, was so spoiled for choice.

But the big big tune from that period
