Atrocious fashion choices by decade

[amraeder]

That's the NFL Quarterback Club. Kosar and Marino were the driving forces behind it. Big deal in sports business in the 90s. For perspective, the revenues today make those in the 90s look like chump change:

IT USED TO BE that quarterbacks had all the fun. More recently, through the efforts of the NFL Quarterback Club, it appeared quarterbacks had all the funds, too. The Quarterback Club has been one of the sports industry's success stories of the 1990s: a marketing company started by a group of elite players, working closely with the bosses at NFL headquarters, that annually spreads revenues of reportedly more than $ 10 million among its 40 members. Founded in 1991, the QB Club limited its membership to those it deemed marketable, creating overnight a sort of superstar frat house. Signal callers held sway, but the club occasionally tabbed a Jerry Rice or a Barry Sanders.

QB CLUB GETS RUN FOR ITS MONEY

Back to your thread, carry on.

QB Club was a backdoor way of busting the union.

Still can't get over the "no awful fashion in the 1990's" comment.

I could've sworn Zubaz was a product of the '80s that had mostly residual awfulness in the '90s.

It was, but it had legs into the 90s.

Proud Minnesota product!

Two weightlifters who owned a gym developed the concept for comfortable and fashionable! pants? for those of a larger size and took it to market.

You are correct. I wore them during both decades.

I just told him he was correct.

Did you ever wear jorts?

I'm going with yes.

 

[Songbird]

Pegged my pants for a good 3-4 years.

I'm going with yes.

Growing up, I made all my shorts out of cut-off jeans.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Parachute pants with bandanas tied around the legs. And a jean jacket I bleached and shredded. Wore that ensemble proudly.

Well, heck, so did I as a kid. There weren't choices back then. You cut your jeans off.

That doesn't count.

Jorts, the store-bought product.

I'm still going with yes on the store-bought product!

Nope.

Nope.

I don't believe you.

I think you don't want to add to the shame of post #34.

I'll let it go.
