For example, here is a 1982 Topps Mike Easler, where the Hit Man is pretty much overshadowed by those giant striped tube socks worn by the kid behind them. I remember wearing socks like that . . .
Moving up a decade, here is Lee Smith high-fiving a toddler with an early 90's white-top fade. Vanilla Ice Jr.?
One of the bigger movies of the early 90s was The Doors, and someone wearing a Doors shirt is pretty prominent in this 1993 Leaf Kevin Maas.
Of course, the topless guy on the left is displaying a look that is never in style. That guy needs a man-siere!
I love this post. My post on Bud Harrelson at the 1972 Topps site will deal with this some on March 2.
ReplyDeleteThere will be no guy needing a mansiere, thankfully.
I remember that you were not allowed to participate in gym class unless you brought your tube socks. No substitutes were permitted.
