Big Boi.

FACT.

Goodie MOB "Black Ice" video. 1998.

Cats also forget, Outkast was MASSIVE at the time and he was rocking them in interviews. TV. Magazines. Everywhere.

[ihust1e]

Damn i wish they left hov and fab in the jersey era

 

[illphillip]

I also think the store that was selling all of them, Distant Replays, was based in Atlanta.

Yep. Old *** YELP review. Read the first.

I guess now they're called Original Retro Brand and just make "retro" T shirts. Not just sports.

Being from a city with sports teams I've always seen cats in jerseys. 1994, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik video is one of my earliest memories of seeing jerseys on an entertainer.

When I think of the "jersey era", I think moreso of the retro throwbacks.

Jerseys in and of themselves have never and will never go out of style IMO.

I like what Fab did with that Nique. Layering under a denim shirt.

And I'm probably still gonna cop that Hank Aaron Atlanta V Neck he's rocking as well.

View media item 2056990

 

[vidiviciun]

That's from Gin & Juice circa 1993

 

[illphillip]

So we have apparently deduced there was a hockey jersey era in the early-mid 90's

him, and phife from da tribe that passed were under rated.

when da OG jersey era started it a silently around 1997...

it really had more to do with them being more commercially available...

unless you basically lived next to yankee stadium or MSG, it was hard AF to find authentic jerseys.

I'm extra confirming that Outkast and Dungeon Family were some of the first big name artists wearing M&N/throwbacks. And as illphillip said, it was because of the location of the store Distant Replays. High & Mighty were heavy on throwbacks very early on (prob before Outkast) but not many knew who the hell they were. This was because of their proximity to M&N flagship store in Philly.

I remember in the late 90's I was trying to get a M&N and this was before Distant Replays (or M&N) had a website...I called Distant Replays and asked if they had some sort of catalog so I could order. They mailed me like 10 laminated catalog pages with pricing. Ordered a 1981 road Nolan Ryan and think I payed by check.

Things are a lot easier nowadays.

 

[SC kid]

man there were so many fake throwback jerseys in the early 2000s.


SOOOOO MANY.


i didn't see an authentic jersey or authentic mitchell and ness until college.

 

[illphillip]

I also remember Big Boi dusting off the OG name plate belt buckle from the 80's, which had a resurgence in the late 90's/early 2K.

Outkast should get more credit for a lot of what they contributed to music, style (Andre going way out the box with it for a rapper) etc.

So much of it is still resonating today.
