I think it turned from dark blue to light blue. I remember the 'Hyper' bit stopped working after lots of washing machine cycles and it became permanently light blue. Most of the time the t-shirts looked like a failed tie-dye experiment.</p> <p>There was another craze in the 90s where you wore your trainers with the tongues in front of the laces. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4113#post-45389 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 10:38:52 +0000 ruggtomcat 45389@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hula-hoop, then Hula-hoop and now...
