I'm positive I still have my Bo Jackson sweatshirt like this somewhere around my house. My brother had one of Dan Marino, along with a pennant of Charles Barkley with the same kind of character on it.

Edit: I found the pennant on ebay:

Has the old Suns wordmark with the new Suns logo. Odd.

Similarly, in an episode of Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Barkley wears the Chambers-era uniform(well, the ones before Barkley joined the team)

You mean this one?

I have the holy grail of caricature shirts. Pat Riley. Lakers Three-peat. Didnt happen. Millers Outpost, Bakersfield, Ca. $2. If I wasn't 14, stupid, and super depressed about the Lakers losing, I would've bought the lot. I'll dig it up later and scan it.

Is that place any good for finding cool stuff? Does it even still exsist? I should check it out before I go.

This was 1989 and I'm pretty sure the worlds been relieved of Millers Outpost. But it is Bakersfield, so who knows. Head down to the mall, get yourself some chik-fil-a, and check it out.

Takes me back.

I used to have this sweet Dream Team pennant with the big heads.

And no, that's not me selling it on ebay, just the only image I could find online of it.

You used to hold me

Tell me that I was the best

Anything in this world I want

I could posses

All that made me want

Was all that I can get

In order to survive

Gotta learn to live with regrets

I recall some fellow kids back in the day (90s) having some nba team with the Tasmanian Devil on it.

I got a U of Miami Taz shirt for Christmas once. I have never been or never will be a U of Miami fan. Great present!

But the Taz part was ok?!? LOL

The Suns continued to use those unis through the '92-'93 preseason, only switching to the new unis when the season started.

I had a Larry Johnson T, and another comic-style one with LJ, Muggsy and 'Zo. Also had the Taz Hornets T, and one with a characature of Hugo bursting through a court. One of my relatives bought me the Magic version of that, with a Wizard. Not being a Magic fan, it's still in the attic somewhere, with the tags still on...

Millers Outpost was rebranded as "Anchor Blue", now in your nearest mid-income level mall.

Also, remember the shirts that had a player breaking through one side, then had their feet hanging out the other side? I can't find any pictures, but I know I had a shawn Kemp one...

I had one that had Hugo the Hornet breaking through the "back" and ending up on the "front" of the shirt.

By golly, we had some HORRID shirts back then! :D

Taz was the least of my worries at that point, hah.
