Who remembers these puffa jackets? Michigan, and something else.

Everyone had one when I was in school, late 90s. It was either this one, the Michigan one with the navy white and yellow, or there was another one, which was orange. I think it may have had black and white on it as well.
Does anyone remember them, and remember what the orange one said on it? Randomly came into my head today, and it’s really bugging me what the writing was!

Nevica?

No, it wasn’t a brand I don’t think.
I think the Michigan one is to do with American football, so maybe the orange one was as well. Or did the orange one have two words? They were pretty much identical in style, just different colours.

I think it was Chicago Bulls? I also remember the 'Spliffy' jackets. I had a Michigan hat 😊

Ha! I remember these! Thanks for taking me bsck 20yrs op!

I think the other was Chicago bulls? Weren't there all basketball teams?

The Michigan one is the school colours of the University of Michigan; all their clothing for everything is in maize and blue as it's known.

As a long shot you could try googling for 'college teams that wear orange' in case it was another US university. There's plenty of them!

If the other jacket was navy and orange, it might have been Illinois.

Iowa is black and yellow.
Purdue is black and gold.

Yes, I think you all may be right with Chicago bulls! I had Ohio in my head for some reason.
I thought I was sooo cool in my one.
I did have a different orange puffer as well, which I think was Benetton?
We also the trend of wearing odd socks/trainers, but the had to be ‘matching’ so one tigger sock, and one Winnie the poo sick.
Or odd nike TN trainers, so the same trainer with different colour schemes.
So so cool 😎😂
