I remember XWorks! Was their symbol an open hand or something, with X W O R K S written on the spaces between the fingers? Or am I getting it mixed up with something else?

Ah, the reebok pumps. Was going to post a picture of xworks jeans, but google returned results that I really should have expected.

There was also Eclipse jeans that were out around the same time. I never wore them but my brother did.

BizzyC · 23-06-2005 01:03PM

Jaysus, XWorks.....

What about pogs, anyone else remember pogs......
Or Monster in my pocket?

Scarinae · 23-06-2005 01:07PM

Pogs, oh my goodness... I remember when they were on the Late Late Toyshow and Gay Byrne kept called them 'pogues'

Mossy Monk · 23-06-2005 01:09PM

thankfully i never wore xworks. not many in my area did tbh

i remember on the simpsons when Millhouse got the Alf Pogs. my cousin innocently asked "what are Pogs?" so i explained, then "whats Alf?" i havent spoken to her since

POGS!!!! They were the circle cardboard yokes with pictures on them that you had to flip over, right?

What trying to remember the name of them for ages!!! Think they came abit later than all that X-work stuff.

Yeah, xworks were around about ten years ago, pogs were more like eight years ago

*Page* · 23-06-2005 01:13PM

awwww ALF!!!

toiletduck · 23-06-2005 01:17PM

pogs ruined my life for months, all i could think of was increasing how many i had. i remember having a few thousand...

Scarinae · 23-06-2005 01:19PM

What were the big thick ones called, the ones that you threw to make the pogs turn over? Most were thick plastic, but there were metal ones too

toiletduck · 23-06-2005 01:22PM

slammers

modular · 23-06-2005 01:28PM

I have a ridiculously big slammer. about the size of a saucer. Would win me every game. But I really only caught the tail-end of Pogs.

Scarinae · 23-06-2005 01:33PM

The size of a saucer??

toiletduck · 23-06-2005 01:35PM

i had one the size of an old pound coin but about an inch thick. it was pretty crap but looked dead impressive

dlofnep · 23-06-2005 01:37PM

X-works jeans, x the legend, petro motion or something, ecplise tops, those sock hats... Yeah, I remember all that good stuff.

Nightwish · 23-06-2005 02:17PM

toiletduck · 23-06-2005 02:24PM

CTU_Agent · 23-06-2005 02:25PM

Stephen · 23-06-2005 02:27PM

Xworx/eclipse/NAFF were the shiney white tracksuits of their day!
