The weather is getting a little more brisk, but the
retro-fashion fad with NBA gear remains scorching.
It's a little tougher to troll around town simply in a
jersey (if so, we hope you're wearing it backward, as
we noted midsummer). But there have been
increasing sightings of puffy satin jackets,
embroidered with classic NBA team names and
logos.
We personally favor the nifty blue "Baltimore Bullets"
version, though classic gear-maker Mitchell & Ness
put endorser/rap star Fabolous in a nice-looking
Celtics jacket in their most recent ad campaign. Find
your own look, but just remember not to forget your
scarf. (Hmm: When will NFL teams appropriate the
long-time European soccer-fashion merchandising
juggernaut that is team-specific scarves? Must be a
Europe thing.)
