ANSWER

 

Let's start with our first offender, Answer. The top-of-the-line shit from Answer for the 1992 season was the AK-7 jersey and pant. No, not AK-47, which would have been about 50 times cooler ("Now available in 10 round clip or, for you guys with big balls, the outlaw 30-rounder"). As you can see, in the early '90s you could actually make other riders crash from staring at your jersey, wondering how you were able to rip one layer of it off to reveal another color underneath. Men are in wheelchairs today due to this optical illusion. Also, nifty zebra tape effect on knees warns other riders to BEWARE OF FAST MOTHERFUCKER. Notice that the color pink has made an appearance here. You'll be seeing him again.

 

 

 

Now, if you were a cheapskate that year (there was a recession going on), you would be forced to purchase the Sport Jersey and Pant. You don't have to sacrifice style to save mucho bucks, as you can see. OK, now see here: white implies plain, and since the AK-7 setup probably cost about 4 cents more per unit to make than the Sport, they have to figure out a way to make the AK-7 stand out. Color was all they needed. This jersey also points out a great feature of much early '90s MX gear, the scribbled "handwritten" lettering, usually the word "racing" or "sport". It's like each jersey was signed by "Racing" himself.


Three tubs of Dippity-Doo were used in the making of this photo.


Now I know where boy band music video directors get their ideas for matching outfits on all of the guys. (Yes, 13-year-old girls, I know that some boy band did a video in Fox jerseys.)

You can't stop having fun with early '90s MX gear! Page 3!!
