So we obviously unleashed hell on the Zubaz site by linking to it yesterday, but the folks over there seem to have a sense of humor.
Reader Shan, who is in the United States Marine Corps, forwarded the following communication with Zubaz HQ:
Why would you guys bring these pants back?

Bad pants. Nice people.






The headline should read, “Zubaz Pants Employees Have A Good Sense Of Humor, resumés up to date.” I hope for their sakes that’s accurate.
I never knew they were called “Zubaz” — I thought they were always just referred to as the “Crazy Pants That Crazy People Wear”
“Zubaz- For when you’ve just stopped caring”
@homerjay: bah.. I have a pair for putzing around, but most of the people I know who have them use them for working out.
Zubaz – Your pants if you love it when your balls stick to your thighs.
I always just called them ‘Coaches Pants’, because for a while it seemed like NFL coaches went on a binge wearing these things. Porky middle-aged men in garish team-colored stripes with clipboards.
Combine these with some Crocs, and maybe even some old school Oakley shades, and it’s a freakin’ fashion circus.
@Tracy Ham and Eggs: That doesn’t make it right.
It’s always Hammer Time.
I have just one question: Where can I buy Zubaz stock?!
I always called them “stupid pants”. Nice to know the real name, even if I won’t use it. lol
The ensemble is nearly complete…
So I’ve got the sandals (with socks of course):

The pants (I think purple and white is best):
[www.zubaz.com]
The accessory holder (I wouldn’t want unsightly bulges in my pant-pockets):
[cdn.overstock.com]
The eyewear:

AND NOW….I’ve found my head/facewear:

All I need is a good shirt and/or jacket and I’ll be all set.
@crapple: I forgot, I already had a jacket:

@evslin:
Stop.
Most common question asked by someone wearing Zubaz pants: How much you bench?
@crapple: Please, don’t forget the fanny pack.
Why should we let mom-jeans wearing women have all the fashion fun? Zubaz for everyone!
@savvy999: Oakley Razors *OR* some BluBlockers
@Mayor McRib: No worries, I have one listed there – it’s black and pleather. It’ll go well with my Members Only Jacket.
@crapple Ya know, with that ensemble it’s no longer Hammer Time.
It’s “Business Time”

Zubaz are so unhip they are hip.
I thought those were Joey Buttafuco pants.
@dcndn: That is just wrong, wrong, wrong
. It reminds me of the Tom Petty song, “Free Fallin”. My husband used to sing it “Free ballin” and now I whenever I hear that song I will think of Zubaz. Good times.
I always assumed those pants were a way to abuse overly-trusting rug-rats without getting busted by Family Services…
@nlatimer:
I would buy a camo version. *meep*
Heh, didn’t expect to have an article of my email, but yeah, friendly people!
@Typhoid:
You and me both…I sincerely hope he wasn’t joking…
@crapple: Crapple, not that I would pass up the glasses you have already selected, but why not go for some blublockers. Those things were…hmmm
BluBlockers
um, don’t think these look good on men whatsoever. can we have a moratorium on women wearing juicy couture sweat pants in public if the menfolk agree not to wear zubaz? thank you.
But 13 year old girls with “juicy” on their stretch pants ass is cruise control for “classy”
@thatgirlinnewyork: I won’t wear any Zubaz. Does that make you feel better?
@thatgirlinnewyork: Can we add people over 19 who wear PINK sweats in public? Yesterday I saw a 45 year old woman wearing them. I am convinced that her pale pink PINK hoodie coupled with her shockingly dyed-red hair was a cry for help.
@hhole: Now I’m naked… except for my Zubaz…
Enough! If they’re good enough for the Legion of Doom, they’re good enough for me goddammit.
