Looking Back, Was FUBU Corny?

[Ohene]

When I was 14 my mom took me to the Marshall's for back to school shopping and held up a gigantic sweater across her chest to show it to me. She had no idea about any kinds of brands, so she asked in the nicest little mom voice, "Mijo! Would you like this big comfy sweater?" She looks down to read it label. "It says Phat Pharm! Is that cool?" To this day I smile every time I recall that memory and am tempted to call my mom to tell her hello. She was a good mom.

youre mom sounds like a delightful goddess. looks and personality wise.

For the thread...nah Fubu was dope. Them North Carolina jerseys had the game on lock

lol seeing a cat from down south especially in my area wearing a 05 jersey is the norm for some folks

Come on now- I was rocking it IN 96. When it was actually popular. I'd consider it a punishment if someone made me wear it now. Send me to jail instead!

I had one pair of some FUBU shoes I got as a gift, but thats about it. I never fukked with that corny ass brand

No it wasnt. But we made it corny by not respecting the brand.

It started off good, then got lame. The shoes was the worst

I still have a FUBU hoodie to this day.

I remember when I had this fly ass dark blue and black FUBU suit with the matching hat back in the mid 90s.

Seriously. There needs to be a 'corniest shyt you ever wore' thread. I would have a list.
Fashion VICTIM here. I draw the line at animal print though.

Back in 96/97 it was the shyt. They fell off by 98 and started getting bootlegged heavily. You couldn't tell the real fubu from the fake fubu. Then they started that Fat Albert shyt and went down hill from there. It was a decent brand before the knockoffs started killing it.

Real talk I just threw out my last Fubu jersey this year... It was an around the house basketball jersey.


Threw it away with the rest of my bball jerseys (beach/pool/around the crib attire)

 

[KinksandCoils]

I had one Fubu shirt. I thought the line was straight back then. Looking at it now it is kinda corny but so is all outdated clothing...well not all but some. Either way that man is he is on shark tank. Which is a really good show to me.

 

[Jayson_bourn]

Of course its corny now but back then Fubu was dope. I remember I had a baseball Jacket that I wore to death in grade school
