Hypercolor Shirts Are Back..Am I Really That Old?

I discovered yesterday that American Apparel has brought back the Hypercolor shirts that so many of us wore as kids when no one told us how lame they were. That's one fashion statement I NEVER expected to see again, but here it is. I guess if jelly shoes and tapered jeans can come in and out of style several times despite how stupid they are, then why not Hypercolor?

I cringe at the thought of this trend coming to UGA--I can just see girls pairing the shirts with leggings (which, by the way, are NOT substitutes for pants) and gladiator sandals as they strut proudly around campus. May as well throw in those plastic doo-hickies that you threaded one end of your t-shirt through. Do those things have a name? Why did we ever think those were cool? I think I had one shaped like a tropical parrot.
