They were called Hammer pants, not Jammer pants. MC Hammer made them big in his videos, so they got the nickname Hammer Pants.

I remember the tie dyed shirt that uncle mike’s family gave you that had a black vest to wear over top… I don’t know if you ever wore it but i think that the laughs we had about it later on were totally worth the money they paid for it.

I never had a pair of pumps, but if I had the money, I would have bought 7 pairs – one for every day of the week in all the colors of the rainbow… To match the tie dyed shirt that i would be wearing too.

The shoulder pads – I think the only time i ever wore them was when you made me stand in net with your orange road hockey pads and you fired street hockey balls at my face in the basement of our old house…

I would totally wear the jammer pants if there were patterns around for them anymore.. I think the look is so old that you can’t find a sewing pattern to make them.

Frosted tips are the WORST fad out there, but the guy in the picture that you posted really makes them look bad. lol.

Darren… I said “bad fads”… the fanny pack rules!!

Haha, but yeah you’re right… it should probably be on the list… but the fanny wasn’t exactly a fad as it’s still going strong! Just check out my Mexico pictures

Uncle Steve loved his Jammer Pants!!!Those guys were like a time warp and they almost held out long enough for the fad to come full circle.

The only fad of those that I ever participated in was the Reebok Pumps. I loved those shoes, I had them for basketball in grade seven. I made my own tie-died shirt at West Edmonton Mall one year but I dont remember ever wearing it except maybe the car ride home. I remember my youth pastor Anthony getting frosted tips and thinking he looked ridiculous. We used to bleach our hair white or light light blonde and then let it grow out, that was a cool look but it was cut long before it hit just the tips.

I remember the foam shoulders. Aunty Sheila used to look like she could play full back for the Raiders, same with every other aunt.

I wonder what fads are taking place right now that we will look back on and laugh. I wonder if Warcraft will be the new Pogs!
