A co-worker brought this up when talking about Distant Replays and the number of rap artists wearing vintage jerseys, hats featuring old logos, etc. How many of these guys actually know and/or appreciate what they're wearing or do they have them because they look cool? Hopefully there are some old-school basketball or baseball fans among them that can at least appreciate the kitschiness of some of these uniforms/logos or at least are familiar with the uniform of the player they're wearing. Honestly, do you think Bow Wow really knows about the SuperSonics and the hat he was wearing on Leno the other day?

I suppose all of this old-school stuff is much like all the rockers and rappers wearing hockey jerseys back in the day, which then spawned such abysmal products as hockey jerseys with the Yankees and Lakers logos. I guess in a few years, we'll see some artists wearing XFL stuff without any irony.
