The Alpine Jersey
In 1992, Grand Puba appeared on an episode of Yo! MTV Raps with Mary J. Blige to perform their song “What’s the 411?” Puba was dressed in a white Fila visor, a pair of Nike Revaderchi sneakers, and a color-blocked Polo Ralph Lauren Alpine rugby shirt tucked at the belt loop of his Girbaud denim shorts. At the time, these were the hottest brands in hip-hop.
Like Mary J Blige, who sampled a 1980's Debra Laws track "Very Special" for this record. We're also taking inspiration a moment where the rugby jersey transcended the sport.
