Good ol days when i first moved to the dmv

I'd say early 2000's. As well.

The uniform was Solbiato hoodie shirt no sleeves, with 992's.

anyone else used to post on papalace

 

[badtguy]

Nikkas really wore the straw hats, even if it wasn't on their head.

It was hanging off their neck, on their back.

And don't forget getting your sleeves cut up, or adding glitter, etc

and remember those funny straw hats that looked like bulbs or something. I swear 36 had one on in a video.

or WB, anybody who worked at the WB store was feasting.

Edit: Forgot to add the nascar jackets, new balance, and rubber bands around your jeans LMAO

DC nikkas used to hop out a Cutlass in full Harley Davidson gear

Memory lane. What ever happened to Shooters?

This was my era. Bonidacci, Shooters, All Daz, Mchunu. I used to rock whack ass Visionz until I heard it was owned by some Asians that came through and tried to jock the swag

I remember one time being so hype because I saw a bodyguard of Mike Tyson rockin We R' One.

Solbiato is still going on strong.

I rocked all bonadacci and shooters as a youning.

The bonadacci plug was right by my barber shop in eastover

If you watch footage of malice at the palace, Ben Wallace (who always rocked We R One) has a homeboy in the front row wailin on someone while wearing a We R One sweatsuit

I'm gonna check that out. Ben did playfor the Wizards for 3 years in the late 90's

what was the name of that one brand everyone turned on because we found out it was asian owned? visionz? or something like that

edit: always saw solbiato and alldaz as more PG than DC, not sure if that's accurate

what about mchunu? completely forgot about them

in high school EVERYONE wanted to start their own clothing line or play drums what a weird local culture

Solbiato was a PG brand that was DC based this is true.
Remembering Mchunu for the first time in years

I thought it was called Universal Madness. I remember when I came down to the DMV for school, and I met all the PG, DC, MoCo folks. I was already braced for the gogo, but i had no clue they were dressing in their own brands and rocking some other sh!t. Shirts with cut off sleeves and headbands. Tying the top of the hoodie and leaving the rest unzipped and open..like stereotypical vatos wear shirts. LMAO! I would be laughing at them. My roommate was from out PG too. I was like what's all this weird sh!t y'all got going on. Then I found out how expensive all those ugly ass tacky clothes were. SMH!

I'll give y'all credit for doing and creating y'all own sh!t tho.

Me and all by brehs in middle/high school
Look down and we had nike boots too.
Everyone thought beef and broc was a menu item.

 

[BRUHMANE]

they had a lot of positive messages on their shyt but da*link*went was traaaaaash clothing

I think the reason behind this was because, and this was fukking major at the time; but (if I'm not mistaken) Da*Link*Went's designs were all crowd sourced,
and you could submit designs to their website for consideration for apparel. shyt was poppin' but I agree not up to Madness or We R One levels
