How the heck did you miss the PEGGED PANTS!

im digging those clothes so hard right now. I'm not a hipster but I can dig the whole "less clothes the better" theme. Thanks Archie. I have yet to see your trucks out in HB

[Dave McLaren]

Acid-washed jeans. That and the bold-striped shirt makes me think that's '86. Unless it's in the midwest, in which case it could be '89. ;- )

Several of the games were getting long in the tooth at the time those pics were taken.

Thanks for the wayback machine pics.

ok, pegged pants (acid and stone washed jeans) with hi-top reboks and BK KNIGHTS

the jogging shorts pre date me a little though

The girls wore Dolphin shorts in the late 70's and early 80's. God bless those shorts. They really need to come back into fashion!!!

Ah yes, back when it was cool to know binary.

I am an 80's kid, but I grew up rural, so I missed all that anyway. but the arcade was always fun when we went to town.

der affe was all over this!

Notice the kid with the Maui and Sons sweatshirt tied around his waist? That logo was big in '82 and '83. I had that logo shirt in Junior High, 8th or 9th grade. The shark logo on that other kid's shirt was the next thing from them iirc.

Adding to Affe's list:
OP panel shorts
QuickSilver shorts
Power Station did a great cover of Bang a Gong. That Duran Duran guitarist was really good.
Bicycle hats

Yes, the Maui and Sons logo back then was the Hurley and Volcom of today. It was huge! Stubbies and OP also.

I saw those shorts just the other day. On an old queer-looking jogger dude, unfortunately.

Those were the shit, weren't they? My first "girlfriend" in 7th grade had those with her little ass hanging out. It was '81 here in the OC.

Now I'm so fucking caught up in this thread. Old dude syndrome kicks in as I dick around on the internet while my wife and son are watching TV.

In '81 I was in 6th grade, beautiful Anaheim, California.
