Let's Go Retro!

Back in the day when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore but somedays I sit and wish I was a kid again...literally. Back in the day when I was a kid, people wore some pretty cool gear. And guess what? I got a treat for the people who love sports and the 90s. Does anyone remember snapback hats? They were adjustable and now they're adorably "old school." Is it true, can I really deem the 1990s as old school? Time sure does fly, and these hats here, well they're just the same. Equipped with vintage team logos and of course, snap backs, these caps can be great accessories. You can find them all on Karmaloop.com.


Simply because I love Charles Barkley, I will begin with the Vintage Deadstock Phoenix Suns cap. It's $45, and by the way, I've always had a thing for the purple and orange together. Current Suns fan or not, you can rock the 90s style, and rep the old school team if you please. Flip it backward, so everyone knows you took it wayyy back with the snapback! Makes me wanna do the cabbage patch...or not, whatever.


Who remembers the Charlotte Hornets, home of NBA greats like Muggsy Bogues and Larry Johnson? Now known as the New Orleans Hornets, you know it's old school when the team isn't even in the same city anymore. This hat's colors are bright and it certainly brings back the nostalgia of great basketball. For $55 you can support what used to be an awesome team (I still love the New Orleans Hornets though, just not as much as when "Hornets" were a Charlotte thing).



Go Steelers! I wonder how many football fans want to punch me in the throat for typing that? Go ahead, I'm a proud Pittsburgh Steelers fan, partly because they were once intertwined with my other favorite team the "Eagles," and because Detroit native Jerome Bettis led them to victory in Super Bowl XL right in the D. The team logo looks awesome on this hat, how can you not love gold and black together? This one goes for $35 and is the only football team hat I'm going to show, eat your heart out.


Oh shit son! Most of you might be able to see where I'm going to go with this one, eh? Some of my all-time faves played for the Bulls including a new one. Let's see we have Derrick Rose holding it down now, whom I love, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, and of course, the man even people who have lived under rocks for 30 years probably know, Michael Jordan. It's hard to think of the Bulls and not remember the magic that happened in the 1990s. I mean really, what kind of powerhouse team wins six NBA championships in eight years, with two three-peats! The Chicago Bulls Vintage Deadstock snapback is $55 and worth every penny. The cool thing about these hats is that you don't have to be a current fan, you can represent for back in the day!


Last but not least, and yes, I am certainly biased, is the Vintage Deadstock Detroit Pistons cap ($50). As a D Girl, I am required to save this for last. The Pistons underwent a couple changes over the years, from the red, blue combo to the teal and maroon, and back to red and blue. According to sportsdesignblog.com the Pistons fell victim to the fashion color craze of the 1990s, okay so maybe that is true, but it's always fun to remember the time. Why not do it with a 1990s Pistons hat? And yes, it IS best that the Pistons returned to the team colors from the glory days, because really, I think those colors were a bit much for a team full of big men. Cop it though, because those colors may not work for basketball, but they are perfect for fashion.
