In honor of Outside LAAAAAAANDS this weekend, I wanted to let you guys know about a little fashion trend that is running through its hipster life cycle. I am sure you kiddies noticed the generous amount of vintage NBA jerseys draping off the slim shoulders the dudes trying to film Animal Collective on stage with their white iphones this year at coachella. Chances are that maybe one or two of you bloggers were wearing a throwback (replica) jersey too. Hipsters love showing their skinny white arms and even then New York Times is noticing.
"Walk Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on a sunny Sunday, and you’ll spy any number of young men in vintage N.B.A. jerseys...Among those to document this fashion/nostalgia trend was the blogger Jeff Sutelman, writing for TheFasterTimes.com, where I am an editor. While attending the Pitchfork Music Festival in July in Chicago, Mr. Sutelman, who was wearing a Mark Price Cleveland Cavaliers jersey, noticed he couldn’t go five minutes without seeing others wearing jerseys representing forgotten players like Ed O’Bannon, Glen Rice and Isaiah Rider."

Deadspin has been running photo-series of all the hoopster sightings from this years main music festivals as well.
The worst part about this trend is that none of these fuckers has ever picked up a basketball or watched a game in their life. Maybe that's the point i guess.
While I have no actionable intelligence on which vintage nba jersey Jimmy will be wearing to Outside Lands, I feel pretty confident that he won't let this perfectly good trend go to waste. My guess is a Warriors Chris Mullin jersey. Mitro and Emily already confirmed they will be wearing matching Kardashian/Odom Lakers jerseys on Saturday to Girl Talk. I can definitely say that I am done with these fashion trends ever since I wore Moran's parachute pants to EDC a few years ago. (In my defense they were very fuctional) I will stick to my USA soccer jerseys.

Chris Mullin = Danville resident. that would be fitting. I'm a huge Mavericks fan though so i dunno about that yet. I'm also a huge bruins fan. A huge Giants fan, and a huge packers fan. Currently searching for a Novak Djokovic jersey though. #bandwagonjunkie
Maybe you can borrow a yankees hat from your boy.
I hear Scudder and Hillary will be skipping the jerseys for a full wool Lanister Dog authentic. Scuds heading the front two paws, and Hillary the tail and the back two paws. #outSIIDelANDzzz
is all this lanister talk referring to the game of thrones? a simple google search has left me feeling left out
