Vintage New Kids On The Block Shirts (Suck)

Let me preface this post with the disclaimer that I'm a straight male who remembers the eighties, had a sister who listened to "Hangin' Tough" repeatedly  and inherited my dads love of Southern Rock. So my opinion is certainly biased. I'm sure many of you have a completely different memory of NKOTB but in my opinion Mark Wahlburg was definitely the best thing to come out of New Kids On The Block; give me the Funky Bunch any day. When I think back to those days I remember 5 guys in their late teens, dressed in the latest (now infamous) 80s pop fashion dancing on Opera Winfrey. Not a memory I try to dwell on by any means but like I said before; many of you will have different recollections.

Now that NKOTB is back on tour after more than ten years, I thought it would be fun to look back at the essential shirts of NKOTB way back when. If you asked any young lady of the eighties they had their favorite. Was it Danny, or was it Joey? Maybe you had the hots for Jordan, Joey or Donnie. My personal favorite was the most short lived and arguably the most far sighted of the group, Mark Wahlburg, who walked when he quickly lost his appetite for bubblegum pop.

Without further delay, here is a taste of the NKOTB t-shirt fashion from the late eighties. I'm sure if you think hard you can remember your sister wearing one of these shirts, singing her heart out to Please Don't Go Girl.
