Why did nikkas loves Georgetown so much in the 90's?

[Mastamimd]

Alonzo Mourning don't get no love in this thread?

I had his jersey back in the day

Iverson wasn’t close to being on the map then

early 90s is when I remember the logo being popular, everything back then, atleast on the west coast, was about being a “G” (Gangsta) and calling everybody “dawg”, and wearing starter hats and jackets, the Georgetown logo just so happened to have an aggressive looking bulldog wearing a G on his cap, in the colors grey and blue which is why it was a hit

Yeah, Gangster Crips wore Georgetown gear for the G:

dont forget

mikw had a hoya hat be4 they entired the store..n the bloods was bout to bang on em..

I think it was a Tar Heels hat. I remember him trying to point out that it's a light blue.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Because of John Thompson and the talent he recruited, the team held a spot in the heart of black America.

Allen Iverson

Was way before Iverson...Hoyas was big when Mutombo and Mourning was there.

Georgetown early 90s repped blackness from coach to entire team for years and years had no cacs on the team...

[Wiseborn]

It wasn’t Iverson. He was there in the mid-90’s.

It was John Thompson and an iconic logo plus it was one of the biggest time for sportswear.

People forget about 'Zo. They had a lot of decent ass players back in the day.

 

[Kliq_Souf]

They been trash since Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert left

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Georgetown was seen as a black hoops program ran by a blk coach

And there it is.

The Big East was the conference for B-Ball in the 80's. A lot of classic squads and players.
