Branded names you don’t see anymore

Long gone mate, it was like a rain jacket - bought it for Glasto weirdly. Might have a quick look online.
I used to know a bloke who's involved in the Australian boxing scene with a bit of matchmaking and promotion. He'd got his hands on some team pacquiao jackets in about 2010 and I bought one off him without viewing it first. It's so bad I've never been able to part with it, just took a picture of it for your viewing.

I never wore those massive chunky shoes thankfully. Just the plain black Vans or Etnies shoes in my skating days.

Actually, do Etnies and Airwalk still exist?
Nope, not for ages mate… I think we’re giving away our age with these dinosaur brand names! 😂😂

I still remember from my breakdancing youth Walker trackies and Kappa.
Christ! I don’t even want to know what the Welsh version of breakdancing looks like Kurt. Must be proper nightmare stuff. 😳

That's astonishing, yeah - never let that go mate!
 
The only branded stuff I consciously bought was a Benneton rugby shirt in the 80s - cos I liked it, and adidas stuff, because I like the 3 stripe aesthetic.

I got some new shoes once, nice leather, nice colour and finish and a kid in my class spotted them "oh cool sir, you've got pods!" I didn't know they were a "thing". I immediately took the badges off! I ain't an advertising board, I'm a human!

Do you like the F1 team merchandise that's covered in sponsors though?
 

I’m talking clothes wise, was looking at some pics earlier of when I visited Portugal many years ago and had a lovely Firetrap jumper on … not much change from £100 30 years ago but dead in the water now. Couple of others spring to mind too

Katherine Hamnet (expensive back in the day)
French connect
POD

Any more you may be able to recall ?
Still get Firetrap in Sports Direct I reckon! They were selling Ellesse gear before it was “trendy” again.
