I guess they had the best 90s colors if you just wanted random sports clothes.

Same with Might Ducks gear but they didn’t have an official/professional team. Tbh, the mascots for The Hornets and Might Ducks went hard, that hornet looked mad af haha

I grew up in Ohio in the 90’s and everyone was wearing Hornets or Chicago Bulls gear (head to toe) and Might Ducks hats/shirts.

Wasn't the ducks because of the Disney movie?

Yes and realistically the Hornets were because the teal/purple combo went super hard in the 90s especially in the form of outerwear.

San Jose Sharks too. I have a San Jose Sharks hat. I don't know why. I grew up a Blues fan.

Oh shit! Totally forgot about the San Jose Sharks. Ohio was big into Chicago culture at the time so things from LA or NYC (respectfully) wasn’t seen too often and it was always the “black sheep” of the league that went against the norms of mid-west culture.

Avg mid-western: “San Jose Sharks…ohhh sounds Spanish”

I don’t think you meant it that way but it looks funny that you gave the average mid-westerner comment while also mentioning LA in response to San Jose.

Just for any actual avg midwesterners, San Jose is the same distance from LA as Chicago is from Cleveland. Or Indianapolis is from Pittsburg.

Yea I didn’t mean any disrespect, just that the name automatically implied it was a Cali team. Same with The Mets or Yankees, those 2 teams to a mid-westerner were essentially the entire east coast. Different times for sure lol

Also grew up in Ohio in the 90's, I had two winter coats Ducks and Bulls. Hats, t-shirts, and sweatshirts were all OSU.

The color way on the drip was probably insane bossman. Also, the team clothes was then was legit, like that jacket probably lasted you years and worked well in those mid-west winters.
