2011-10-09T19:52:00.013-04:00

Most commonly referred to as the Ditka sweater, however Coach always wore the Sweater Vest version......word to Jim Tressel. I think the sweater should be re-named the "Sweetness Sweater" (effective immediately) in honor of the catalog picture above. If you do not approve of the name change that's fine but please don't come crying to me when people ask if you're dressed up as Walter Payton for Halloween.

2011-09-19T21:51:00.028-04:00

I love finding random pictures of random white dudes wearing random vintage while standing next to NBA players. In this picture we have an unknown white guy (I'd say mid 30's, single, possible serial killer) in a 1992 Nuggets caricature shirt with Mutombo in the cut (possibly at a card show, signing his 92-93 Fleer Ultra Rejector card) rockin' the Malcolm X 40 Acres snapback......finger wave!!!

Who didnt have a Shaq jersey back in the day? I know I had a few and I still rock mine to the club whenever I know the DJ is gonna play K.O.B.E featuring Tyra Banks! I was gonna do a poll "Who rocked it best" but Pac and 3 Stacks both killed it in their own right, tie goes to the runner!

Say it fast and it sounds just like the song, seriously! Where are you going to find a collabo like this besides a Rex Chapman estate sale? I don't care if the Hornets are no longer in Charlotte and I don't care if Rex Chapman might somehow be related to Duane Chapman aka Dog the Bounty Hunter, this combo is amazing!!! Tenemos uno chaqueta y dos sombreros en la acción, that's Spanish for don't sleep!

in a card shop far far away, sat a box of 1986 Fleer basketball cards that cost .50 cents a pack or $18 for the whole box! 25yrs later, that same box is up for auction on EBAY with a starting bid of a mere $30,000! You dont know how bad I wanna bid in this auction, buying a wax box of 86 Fleer is on my bucket list right next to sleeping with Britney Spears and playing in an actual Celtics game.....not sure how either of those are gonna pan out for me. I've seen plenty of graded packs but this is the first box that I've seen graded and just the thought of 15-18 Jordan RC's sitting in their is giving me heart palpitations!

2011-09-12T21:00:00.001-04:00

Another vintage Costacos Brothers poster from our stash! Pat Swilling, Vaughan Johnson, Sam Mills and Rickey Jackson aka The Dome Patrol were the Saints linebacker corp of the late 80s, early 90s. During their reign, the Saints made four playoff appearances, including the franchise's first ever playoff appearance in 87 and also claimed one western division title. The Saints' defense led the league in least points surrendered and turnovers in 1991, and again in least points surrendered in 1992. The defense also boasted twenty-seven games giving up ten or fewer points, with five shutouts. The four linebackers made NFL history by collectively being named to the Pro Bowl in 1992.

This is one of the more collectible Costacos posters out there, last year one sold on eBay for $500!!!

The Movie Trespass featuring Cube & Ice T was to originally be titled Looters, but because of the 1992 LA riots, the producers changed the title. As far as rare snapbacks seen in movies this is right up there with the metal shield Raiders hat Cube wore in Boyz n the hood (which I still regret selling). The hat was made by New Era and was not available to the general public, only given to cast and crew.

Ain't that where the Heat play...

2011-09-05T17:03:00.018-04:00

I love finding shit like this! The 1990 NBA All Star game was held in Miami, FL at the Miami Arena, home of the Miami Heat from 1988–1999. The weekend included Craig Hodges winning the 3point shootout, Dominique taking home his 2nd Slam Dunk title and the East would go on to win 130-113 with Magic was named MVP. A few weeks back we found this bag of swag from All Star Weekend and I gotta say the bag itself had me excited. Inside was a bunch of random swag including a NBA rugby by Nutmeg, a NBA towel new in bag, some ticket stubs (w/random autographs on the back that I can't read), 2 official programs and the best part (at least I thought so) the Fan Judging cards for the Slam Dunk contest. Beggars cant be choosers but they made Starter jackets for the ball boys that year and I was hoping to find one of those in the mix but no such luck, maybe next time!

2011-09-03T23:29:00.001-04:00

Vintage 90's authentic Durham Bulls jerseys just like Chipper used to wear. They were made by Wilson and the tag dates them between 1990-95, not quite the same as "Nuke" LaLoosh and "Crash" Davis wore but dope nonetheless!

It was all a dream, I used to read Athletic Supply magazine...

2011-09-03T05:00:00.002-04:00

Found this at the dig a few weeks back, 96 was pretty much when Starter had one foot in the grave. They were still releasing a few decent hats like the NBA Crowd pleaser and the NHL Starter roster cap but other than that it was kind of a slippery slope. The Spike cap by Logo Athletic somehow was and still is a popular style and the Sports Specialties Shadow caps seen on Deion and Steve Young were by far the snapback standouts! Champion jerseys

WWJWD! Big Game James looking cool as the other side of the pillow in his triacetate Starter warm-up and Starter dufflebag, which is most likely used for transporting his goggles and New Balances. In the 1980s triacetate was also used with polyester to create shiny tracksuits which were very popular at the time. The material was very smooth and shiny on the outside and soft and fleecy on the inside......say word!!

2011-08-22T18:50:00.001-04:00

In 1985, to celebrate Def Jam's distribution deal with the biggest record label in the world, CBS, Def Jam threw a party catered entirely with White Castle hamburgers. The party was thrown on the roof of the legendary New York nightclub, Danceteria. Corporate executives like Walter Yetnikoff rubbed shoulders with young street kids, ultimately finding themselves in the middle of a White Castle food fight.

Def before Dishonor...

2011-08-22T18:49:00.003-04:00

Def Jam was the first hip-hop label to take a cue from hard rock and heavy metal by creating merch for their artists and label. There were no t-shirts for the early artists but audiences for Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and Def Jam expanded when Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian proudly wore them during photo shoots and on stage. I snagged it for my personal stash because its a classic and it fits like a glove, No O.J.

One of the best combos to ever grace the hardwood floor. The jersey is for sale but the sneakers are part of my personal stash. However we do have 3 styles of vintage Mutombo's in stock, mostly youth sizes (good for chicks) and a couple adult .....email me if you're interested.

Classic RUN DMC photo shot by Lynn Goldsmith in NY, 1987. DMC had on the Beastie Boys "Fight For Your Right to Party" tee underneath his Giants Starter jacket. This is one of my all time favorite rap tees but I havent been able to find one that fits since I sold AM a deadstock XL years back.

2011-08-08T19:59:00.016-04:00

96 ways I made out...

2011-08-04T18:12:00.029-04:00

Last week we found a guy in the middle of nowhere selling 96 vintage snapbacks, random but true. Only problem was he didnt have a camera to take pics and the hats were already boxed up so we didnt even know what teams were included. The price was too good to let pass so we bought them sight unseen with the hopes of hitting the jackpot! The hats came in today and instead of just posting the gems I figured I would post them all so you can see exactly what we got. I'd say we did pretty good considering we bought them blind from an old man with no camera in the middle nowhere.....what do you think?

My Detroit Players...

2011-08-03T22:58:00.001-04:00

A lot of people rank these in the top 10 WORST jerseys of all time, some even have them as #1. Is it the flaming horse head, the two exhaust pipes shooting flames or the Teal & Red (road/alternate) colorways that make your eyes bleed? I personally think they're dope and you don't see nearly as many people wearing them as lets say a Bulls, Magic or Hornets..........nothing worse than going to the club only to find another dude wearing the same vintage Champion jersey!!!! Where my Loy Vaught fans at, throw ya hands in the air!

Bol Legged...

2011-08-03T20:46:00.009-04:00

You don't see a lot of vintage Manute gear floating around these days, actually ever. We had his vintage Caricature tee a few years back but other than that its Zip, Zilch, Nada. Matter of fact, I don't think I've ever even seen vintage Bol Champion jersey for any of the teams he played on ( Bullets, Warriors, 76ers or Heat).....if you have one email me a pic.
