The Red Polo Debut


By 1994, the bar was raised (or forever lowered, depending on your perspective) for composite imagery.  No longer content with just plaid jackets, Brothers began to think outside the box about what ridiculous things they could portray inside their little box: Tom Whitehead and Jay Mark introduced two variations on 'the point'; Joe Italiano displayed his mansweater; Rich Muneke brought props; and Kevin Morrow took things to a whole new plane.

Herenow, my top 10 of 1994:


10. The Old Man


9. Dwayne Wayne glasses and a name that sounds like the title of a Skinemax movie.


8. Grunge meets The Fonz.  Aayyyyy...


7. Jean jacket and no shirt: think of the chafing.


6. Back when terrorists were still just innocent fun.


5. Sometimes nicknames don't need an explanation.


4. Hi, Eric Stratton, rush chairman. Damn glad to meet you.


3. No, he's not wearing a sweater.  And yes, that's his real name.


2. Best Use of Melon


1. Leopard print sheets + come-hither look = Irresistible
