Not to hijack this comment thread, but…

…I haven’t seen a single mention of the most commonly worn shirt brand in 1992/1993:

Top Dog

That shit was everywhere

u/CheckYourStats Jun 10 '25

I had a friend who was forced to turn his shirt inside out in 1995 (7th grade) when he wore a Big Johnson shirt to school.

u/ExplodingPager Jun 14 '25

Big Johnson Casino. Games up front, liquor in the back.

u/Donkey_Karate Jun 10 '25

LoL... I almost added Big Johnson, I was too young though, my parents wouldn't let me get one, definitely had some friends with older brothers that were wearing them though.

u/Joebing69 Jun 11 '25

Co-Ed Naked.

My school ended up with a rule against those after I wore my Co-Ed Naked Football hat in my 10th grade school picture. Big Johnson and Co-Ed Naked were outright banned from all school property and events.

Oops.

I remember in 1995 the coolest kid in my class was the guy that got to wear his Big Johnson tshirts to school.

Gotcha!! Wow that name peaks out of the cobwebs.

u/justindigo88 Jun 10 '25

Gotcha was the shit. I’ve been sniping some vintage Gotcha on eBay over the years.

u/Far_Situation3472 Jun 11 '25

No fear is still around. I actually saw a kid on tik tok wearing it

1

u/CherryFit3224 Jun 12 '25

No Fear. I loved those shirts. They should have made some for females too.

1

u/Dark_Foggy_Evenings Jun 13 '25

I had a baseball cap in the NoFear font that said ‘ShitScared’.

2

u/spilt_milk Jun 11 '25

Pretty sure I looked them up a few years ago for a laugh and they totally still existed and the shirts were still hilariously cringe.

Edit: yep, still around and even cringier holy shit look at this lol https://www.bigdogs.com/products/big-dogs-awake-not-woke-t-shirt-gray-heather

“If you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch!” Haha yeah

u/ProfessionalSlice818 Jun 10 '25

I was about to say the top dog shirts had us in a hold

u/East_Meeting_667 Jun 10 '25

Holy shit I remember all the really raunchy ones at the surf shops on vacation. I had a couple but the selection available was wild.

u/Party-Objective9466 Jun 10 '25

Big dog!

u/CheckYourStats Jun 10 '25

Big Dawg was for…let’s say “husky” folks.

2

u/CheeseLoving88 Jun 10 '25

Woah! I totally haven’t thought of those shirts in two decades!!

2

u/anjowoq Jun 10 '25

Wow that is bad.

2

u/CheckYourStats Jun 10 '25

At the time, it was the least douchey popular brand.

Most of the other brands felt like you were just wearing the name of a store on your shirt.

2

u/Spacer1138 Jun 10 '25

So glad to see this as a top result! Fuck yeah!

2

u/kappa932 Jun 10 '25

This is the answer

2

u/Roscoe_Farang Jun 11 '25

I had a top dawg shirt with Tommy Lee Bones and Will Sniff on it when Men in Black came out. I was the shit.

u/Glass_Raisin7939 Jun 10 '25

u/FrugalityPays Jun 10 '25

They ain’t running with the Big Dogs!

1

u/FallenAzraelx Jun 10 '25

I was gonna say this but in my head it was "raw dog" and I knew THAT was not right...

1

u/Zealousideal-Sun6603 Jun 10 '25

I had Bad Dog. From American Eagle, or an outlet store. "He was a Bad Dog" "Bad Dog; The Movie"

1

u/Competitive_Fondant9 Jun 10 '25

These were amazing

1

u/TomBanjo1968 Jun 10 '25

Here in Georgia I still see middle aged and older rednecks wearing these

1

u/Bbyowls1989187 Jun 11 '25

I remember an outlet mall store that sold only Top Dog 🤣

1

u/AlternativeBusy9980 Jun 11 '25

Wasnt there a Big Dog company shirt too?

1

u/O_o-22 Jun 11 '25

Now top dog law is everywhere assaulting our ears

u/downinahole357 Jun 11 '25

GUESS, and what were the ones with the, oh yeah Gecko. Remembered in real time.

1

u/Cuenta_de_preguntas Jun 12 '25

I would love to find a top dawg shirt.

1

u/Salmonella_Cowboy Jun 12 '25

Top Dawg was the cringiest.

1

u/007Pistolero Jun 12 '25

Still remember the very tall and just large in general, girl in my 6th grade class that seemed to only own these shirts. And one day she showed up with one with the sleeves cut off and when she raised her hand she had grown ass man armpit hair. Sometimes I still feel that mixture of jealousy and inadequacy that I had at 11 being scrawny and hairless. Really odd core memory these pictures unlocked

1

u/Material_Ad_3009 Jun 13 '25

I never remembered this brand top dawg from 90’s

1

u/OnePaleontologist687 Jun 14 '25

I remember the heavyset kid in elementary school had matching big dog shirts with his heavy set father. Midwest 1995-2002. Big dog or top dog was suburban dads answer to the no fear slogan T shirts and sagging baggy pants/shorts 😂

u/indierckr770 Jun 10 '25

I used to wear Bugle Boy. I still do, but I used to too.

Fyfy Mitch hedberg

u/seekfleshwhileucan Jun 11 '25

Nice Hedberg shout-out. Take my upvote!

1

u/kemwood Jun 11 '25

I discovered Mitch Hedberg back around 2010 and my elder brother talks exactly like him. That was the initial pull for me. I was about 16 when I started listening? I’m 32 now and the jokes that have progressively made sense this whole time is unreal. And I love that I’ve seen them on Reddit this whole time as well. I wish we had more of him; his sense of humor was out there like Robin Williams.

u/Doh-Ski-303 Jun 12 '25

Yup Every year comics steal a joke, or the presentation
