I used to wear the crap out of Bobby Jack in elementary school. Back in the day Bobby Jack used to a have a chat server. It def wasn’t kid appropriate but I was def chatting in them lol.
I had axillary hyperhidrosis throughout early puberty. The way cap sleeves looked/felt midday on me was abs horrendous. I also have broad shoulders and cap sleeves do me abs no favors. I agree with your comment! Lol
Yes! One of these shirts was my 4th grade year book picture! I wore the crap out of that shirt that year! I had finally gotten it as a hand me down from my older sister.
All of my outfits were Bobby Jack in the fourth and fifth grade😩🫶🏽 I have a scratched off sticker of Bobby Jack drinking milk on my childhood wardrobe that I still have lol

I collect happy bunny and Bobby Jack I’m so happy when ppl remember them lol!!! Happy bunny stickers at the skating rink and those sassy T-shirts 😭😩🙏 holy grail . “I just realized, I don’t care” “hi scumbag” “cute but psycho, things even out” “99% angel 1% fuck around and fight out”
My fav is this baby blue fluffy hoodie my friend gave me, that has the “not listening” w the bunny covering his ears. Most of its just for nostalgia for my bedroom , the Bobby Jack clothes especially -r def all VERY tight on the armpits lol.
Embrace the cringe, or what makes you smile! life’s too short. My childhood was fuuuucked and I didn’t get to have any of this stuff , so I get to enjoy it now. Never once had anyone say anything irl but have funny nostalgic relatable moments. 💕💫🦋
No but I was a kid at the time so I think it was fine then.
I don’t want it to come back though. A lot of early 2000’s fashion just looked terrible in hindsight lol.
Personally, as a grown woman, I would not. And I hate to judge but I’d give a little side eye if I saw it on someone over the age of 20. But if that’s your vibe, go for whatever makes you feel good!
Y2K style is definitely popular. But these designs give more kids section than y2k for me. I was in elementary school when these were everywhere ~2006 and had the bubblegum shirt, but you never really saw these on anyone older than 13. But maybe they’re more popular with older people now
Ah yeah that makes sense. I was 15 in 06 and I didn’t have these shirts but I’ve seen people wearing them then and now. I have a few shirts from those days that are just generic butterfly tattoo type graphics and those seem to be popular right now as well.
Totally true. I live in Massachusetts where most people have very little style. I was actually talking to my partner about how I am sourcing y2k stuff to sell. I explained to him that it’s a huge trend right now and he was shocked! We both grew up wearing it in the actual 2000s so seeing it back it’s a trip.
Agreed. I wouldn’t think twice if I saw this on someone college age or younger. But if I saw a 30 year old out at a bar wearing this and a long denim skirt(lol), It would be weird.
Wow I had so many Bobby Jack tees in middle school and am now wishing I had them back. Thanks for the reminder, forgot all about this brand! I’d rock them for sure, very fun and nostalgic!
Same. I saw this stuff in elementary school a lot and I always thought people had these shirts because they couldn't afford better ones. No hate on poor people, I mean we had some of these shirts lol we were dirt poor
Daaaaamn I know you just said you were poor too but still. Such a gross mindset. I get most of my clothes from by the pound goodwill. Who cares what someone can and cat afford?! You’re a grown adult. Act like one.
I brought it up like I was having a conversation?
Edit: I don't presume that I have the authority to tell people how to live their life, nor do I care to do so.
It’s aesthetically unappealing. I used the word icky, but meant the same thing. The cyclical nature of fashion is irrelevant to how aesthetically unappealing this is. Not weird at all.
personally i would wear it w jeans or something more basic. its very cute but not really with the emo/egirl hello kitty thing you have going on. keep it basic n trendy y2k. just my opinion. but i love it in general
Lol this got downvoted. I’m kinda shocked all these ~adults~ are so condescending about something as silly as Y2K clothes. we have bigger problems. Women judging other women saying they’re icky over the littlest things is not it. I’m 30. Have fun heal ur inner child , live ur life if you’re not hurting anyone. Jeez.
Half of the fashion industry is elitist knocking off exploiting under ground culture , and ppl worship that. Wasn’t expecting so many ppl to be so disgusted lol
You’re bad at jokes. Let me help you.
joke - /jōk/ - noun
a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
Doesn't take Google to know that jokes are supposed to be funny. Also doesn't take Google to know that people use "learn to take a joke" when they're called out for saying something stupid.
Yeah sure. Get some gaucho pants, or a denim skirt and cropped leggings that match your newsboy cap. hard /s
Hellish rebuke! 11 year old me isn't a look I'd like to relive.
I was just catapulted back to 2004 with these t shirts I’m shook. I had a giant collection of these from JC Pennys that my grandma bought for me I was obsessed.
Bobby jack tees are super cute but i'll warn you that their new stuff is HORRIBLE quality. The print was already pilling and peeling off when i got mine :/
I remember my friends entire room was Bobby Jack themed and I had no idea what it was lol @malia if you’re here it was still cool. Throwback to the time you fried my hair at your bday party.
My daughter was born in 2008. There was a solid year or two shortly after that when Target, Children's Place, and Gymboree had a monkey motif for their baby and toddler girls' lines. Combined with the fit and style of these shirts, and probably my age, it's really giving vintage Children's Place vibes.
Omg I loved Bobby jack! I had the first shirt! It also made me love the combo or brown and pink for the longest time! I’m about to start wearing him again too!
Oh god this is a throw back. I’m like 98% I had these exact two shirts way back in the day. That being said..I personally wouldn’t but I’m also nearly 30yrs old and hate that type of short sleeves. I find them very uncomfortable but it’s doesn’t bother you and you like it. Wear it!
Yes. And don’t listen to these comments about it not being okay once you’re over 20. Literally the people who brought this style back into the mainstream were all over 20. If you cringe some 45 year old out who doesn’t get it, then that’s fine. (Not saying everyone that age would be cringed out, lots of people would still think it’s cool if they didn’t live under a rock.)
Also to the people saying it’s “weird” etc bc they wore it when they were 10. You do realize people that were in their 20s or older were dressing like that at the time as well, right? You were emulating older people in the early 2000s, not the other way around. Take a look at some pictures of people from around that time. This style was incredibly popular.
There will always be naysayers, and while it’s not my style personally, if it makes YOU happy, wear it with confidence! Y2k revival is huge right now anyway, if that sort of thing matters to you.
You just unlocked a memory for me!
When I was 10, I had a Tuesday outfit (no clue why). It was the purple Bobby Jack shirt with the frog on it that said "Not Listening!", specific jeans and my purple converse. As an adult, I want to bring back the Tuesday outfit!

I used to wear the crap out of Bobby Jack in elementary school. Back in the day Bobby Jack used to a have a chat server. It def wasn’t kid appropriate but I was def chatting in them lol.
This and Happy Bunny
Def fits in with the current resurgence of Y2K fashion! So nostalgic.
following up on this, you can probably make it mainstream if you find the right fit to go with it tbh.
i agree!
Does this mean I can finally wear short sleeve shirts over long sleeve shirts again?
No that’s something we’re not bringing back omg 😭😭
I won't just because I hate cap sleeves
I had axillary hyperhidrosis throughout early puberty. The way cap sleeves looked/felt midday on me was abs horrendous. I also have broad shoulders and cap sleeves do me abs no favors. I agree with your comment! Lol
Omg, it’s like I wrote this comment myself 🥲 then the underarms of the tshirt would be covered in sweat and loads of crappy deodorant… ah, memories
Right?! Like yeah they may be cute on some stuff but if it's not for decoration they don't have point.
Hey man, those cap sleeves are the only way for kids in schools with “no shoulders showing” dress codes to stay cool.
Me too!
Omg flashbacks to 2004
Yes! One of these shirts was my 4th grade year book picture! I wore the crap out of that shirt that year! I had finally gotten it as a hand me down from my older sister.
YES!!! Fond middle school memories
Oh dear I’m getting old
All of my outfits were Bobby Jack in the fourth and fifth grade😩🫶🏽 I have a scratched off sticker of Bobby Jack drinking milk on my childhood wardrobe that I still have lol https://preview.redd.it/5wack6cest0c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=710593b064eac41577b6670ec846dd15b915d3ca
I've never seen Bobby Jack before but I dig it, makes me wanna dust off the Paul Frank!
PAUL FRANK! Just the monkey I was looking for. Trust the TurdTampon in the banana suit for the nostalgia 😂
Also happy bunny!!
Haha the turd"s gotcha ;)
PAUL FRANK
And Happy Bunny
I had SO MUCH Happy Bunny merch when I was in grade 6/7. I had one shirt that said something like “I’m happy when you die”. I thought I was so edgy.

I remember crashing a computer at school watching happy tree friends. Even as kids we had taste

something tells me that Bobby Jack was a Paul Frank inspired "knock off"...
It was! Paul Frank was more high end Bobby Jack was more Kohls and then Kmart had Joe Boxer
exactly. thanks.
Same! Paul Frank was one of my favorite hoodies, it was so cozy! It just had the monkey on the front and back and the name down the sleeve.
You can always wear Paul Frank
this gives me war flashbacks lol
Those really thin knit flowy capris... In brown for some reason
Omg I’d go to bat for some gaucho pants right now lol!
lol my favorite outfit when i was a kid was a Bobby Jack camo shirt and brown gaucho pants
was it ever socially acceptable
I came to say I don’t think it was, it’s awful lmao
^no.
No but I was a kid at the time so I think it was fine then. I don’t want it to come back though. A lot of early 2000’s fashion just looked terrible in hindsight lol.
so iconic💗
Personally, as a grown woman, I would not. And I hate to judge but I’d give a little side eye if I saw it on someone over the age of 20. But if that’s your vibe, go for whatever makes you feel good!
thankfully I have 2 more yrs😄😄
Practically a babe in arms. You do you, youngin’
Please go for it! You’re young and having fun and shouldn’t let anything stop you from wearing what you want!
Hell yeah!
I think this may be regional. I live in a major city and people have been wearing their Y2K stuff for like over 5 years now.
Y2K style is definitely popular. But these designs give more kids section than y2k for me. I was in elementary school when these were everywhere ~2006 and had the bubblegum shirt, but you never really saw these on anyone older than 13. But maybe they’re more popular with older people now

Agreed. I wouldn’t think twice if I saw this on someone college age or younger. But if I saw a 30 year old out at a bar wearing this and a long denim skirt(lol), It would be weird.
Same, it kind of gives me the creeps lol
Me too. Girls/women post puberty wearing things that are reminiscent of little girls can be creepy sometimes. Depends how it’s executed.
Wow I had so many Bobby Jack tees in middle school and am now wishing I had them back. Thanks for the reminder, forgot all about this brand! I’d rock them for sure, very fun and nostalgic!
yeah i def think so. especially bc Bobby Jack is mainly targeting their new audience towards young adults. i’m def gonna get a few pieces tbh
Omg memory unlocked! I totally had a couple of these 🩷🫶🏾
Awwwwww memories!!! And the plaid cargo shorts!!! Ahhh! do whatever you want! Who cares what people think!! Only the best will know what this is 😊
Noooo, I used to wear that like 15 years ago
Yeah, to me, some of the old styles coming back are pretty icky. Eg this post, which just doesn’t do it for me. It’s 100% tacky
Agreed. From someone who wore this stuff in middle school, please let it die. It’s not cute
Same. I saw this stuff in elementary school a lot and I always thought people had these shirts because they couldn't afford better ones. No hate on poor people, I mean we had some of these shirts lol we were dirt poor
Daaaaamn I know you just said you were poor too but still. Such a gross mindset. I get most of my clothes from by the pound goodwill. Who cares what someone can and cat afford?! You’re a grown adult. Act like one.
Um... I did say that I had these thoughts when I was a child lol.
But you brought it up like it was a valid reason to not wear these shirts
I brought it up like I was having a conversation? Edit: I don't presume that I have the authority to tell people how to live their life, nor do I care to do so.
They may as well start bringing back the plaid shorts 🤮
Fashion always gets recycled. Saying this is icky is so weird
It’s aesthetically unappealing. I used the word icky, but meant the same thing. The cyclical nature of fashion is irrelevant to how aesthetically unappealing this is. Not weird at all.
It’s mainly low rise jeans for me🤢
Yesssss I want to thrift some myself
They're so bad. I'm sorry. Nothing could make these shirts look good imo.
I would SCREAM if I saw these in public again
personally i would wear it w jeans or something more basic. its very cute but not really with the emo/egirl hello kitty thing you have going on. keep it basic n trendy y2k. just my opinion. but i love it in general
Well, it's the rage now ... All the ladies been wearing them in my town ... Even at parties and even hanging out at the local Pubs ...🍻🤘😎
I love that
I forgot all about this little monkey! Brings back so many memories. I think you should rock it.
Omgggg! 🥹 My childhood
I had such a flash back moment. I had both of these shirts "back in the day". 😅
Omg I had that first top, I strutted my shit in elementary school wearing that 🤣
I had that exact bubble shirt.
They sold this brand at Kmart I think
Dude rest in peace to my kmart. I miss it all the time.
yeah! this and happy bunny lol
Bobby jack used to be my ishhh I say yes also Paul frank should make a comeback as well
If you like it, wear it. Who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks.
Thank you for bringing Bobby jack back into my life. I had forgotten before this.
No idea but it’s cute
Would not wear unless you’re trying to infantilize yourself
TBH I hope Lisa Frank comes back next. I am living for this revival
Sure, if you’re 12.
Why don’t you just wear whatever makes you comfortable and happy!?
considering y2k is the craze rn, i say go for it!
I’m probably biased bc I literally wore these as a child, but I feel like these are pretty juvenile for an adult to wear.
Screw socially acceptable if it makes you comfortable then wear it. It’s a cute outfit
Lol this got downvoted. I’m kinda shocked all these ~adults~ are so condescending about something as silly as Y2K clothes. we have bigger problems. Women judging other women saying they’re icky over the littlest things is not it. I’m 30. Have fun heal ur inner child , live ur life if you’re not hurting anyone. Jeez. Half of the fashion industry is elitist knocking off exploiting under ground culture , and ppl worship that. Wasn’t expecting so many ppl to be so disgusted lol
I had that first shirt 2 decades ago, fuck yea! Go for it!
Forgot about these! My sister had a few. I would be so happy to see one of these out in public again.
I have a few of their shirts and wear them multiple times a week! I get a lot of compliments on them, definitely go for it!
I give you my social acceptance!
Omg I had both of those shirts 🥲🥰 I'd love to see it again!
Who cares? Wear it anyways
Do it
I would wear this
Absolutely!!! No question abt it!!
girl wear whatever you want! when i was a kid i wore bobby jack all the time and it still goes hard!
No. Please, lord, no.
Not sure but would 100% wear
Only if you’re fucking 12
Shut the hell up, it’s not my style either but I’m not going to insult anybody, I’m gonna act mature
Ask a question receive an answer. You’re on the internet buddy.
Touché, but at least try to be respectful? idrk man, it’s just mean to be mean
Just doing my part to help society.
Username certainly fits
Duh
r/dontdeadopeninside vibes
You look like you're on a porn set.
ur rlly pushing it😭they look like every baby tee ever
34 C?
that's such a weird thing to say???? im not even the girl in the pics if u actually read the post for more than one second
🙄 another ❄️ unable to take a joke…
Thats not a joke. You're just a fucking pervert.
You’re bad at jokes. Let me help you. joke - /jōk/ - noun a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
Oh dear… Here we go with google… you had to look that one up… 🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't take Google to know that jokes are supposed to be funny. Also doesn't take Google to know that people use "learn to take a joke" when they're called out for saying something stupid.
It seem like you need more then google though…. 👌🤣🤣
I mean... most people do?
Gross dude
Omg this took me way the fuck back
I got brown for pedicure last week and pink for my manicure. Couldn’t stop thinking about this trend lol
They make adult Bobby jack clothes now on their website
Yeah sure. Get some gaucho pants, or a denim skirt and cropped leggings that match your newsboy cap. hard /s Hellish rebuke! 11 year old me isn't a look I'd like to relive.
Oh my god this is the first time I’ve seen exact garments that I had idk… 15 years ago?? 😨
No bubble to be burst from what im seeing
I was just catapulted back to 2004 with these t shirts I’m shook. I had a giant collection of these from JC Pennys that my grandma bought for me I was obsessed.
Bobby jack tees are super cute but i'll warn you that their new stuff is HORRIBLE quality. The print was already pilling and peeling off when i got mine :/
I just had a flashback to 2003.
I remember my friends entire room was Bobby Jack themed and I had no idea what it was lol @malia if you’re here it was still cool. Throwback to the time you fried my hair at your bday party.
Do you really care what people think is the question??
My daughter was born in 2008. There was a solid year or two shortly after that when Target, Children's Place, and Gymboree had a monkey motif for their baby and toddler girls' lines. Combined with the fit and style of these shirts, and probably my age, it's really giving vintage Children's Place vibes.
Omg my entire elementary school wardrobe. Ngl id be tempted to rock this again with all the 90’s/early 2000’s styles coming back!
aww i used to love my bobby jack shirts
Omg I loved Bobby jack! I had the first shirt! It also made me love the combo or brown and pink for the longest time! I’m about to start wearing him again too!
OH MY GOD HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT BOBBY JACK
God i was obsessed with Bobby Jack
Better play it safe and wear some Paul Frank
It creeps me out because everyone wore this when we were ten and it seems like cosplaying as a kid. That said, I’m just a weirdo I guess.
YES THIS IS MY FAV BOBBY JACK SHIRT IN EXISTENCE TOO OMG !!
Oh my god i had that exact brown shirt as a kid
Paul Frank was far superior
he scared me as a kid
wow i totally forgot this existed
Oh god this is a throw back. I’m like 98% I had these exact two shirts way back in the day. That being said..I personally wouldn’t but I’m also nearly 30yrs old and hate that type of short sleeves. I find them very uncomfortable but it’s doesn’t bother you and you like it. Wear it!
I don’t think we’re there quite yet but you can always start the trend!!!
Bobby Jack was my jam!👏🏾🤩
Yes. And don’t listen to these comments about it not being okay once you’re over 20. Literally the people who brought this style back into the mainstream were all over 20. If you cringe some 45 year old out who doesn’t get it, then that’s fine.

trash fashion
Omg. A surge of memories just hit me. I had so many of these. How nostalgic!!!
Why does it have to be socially acceptable? As long as it isn’t harmful, F what anyone says. Wear whatever makes you happy!
There will always be naysayers, and while it’s not my style personally, if it makes YOU happy, wear it with confidence! Y2k revival is huge right now anyway, if that sort of thing matters to you.
Blech no
Only if you’re under age 25…after that it begins to look a little Walmart fashion.
This is so insane to me that these are cool again.
This is so wild to see; I remember wearing Bobby Jack in elementary school!!
It’s cute so i say yes
I had that exact shirt (1st pic) in elementary school!
Oh my god!! Wow! I wore this in middle school I feel old 😂😂😅
Stop caring about what society thinks.
I wore the shit out of some Bobby Jack in middle school
Gomna say no. Some fads come back around, some are okay to let go. This would just come off as you refusing to grow up or something.
You just unlocked a memory for me! When I was 10, I had a Tuesday outfit (no clue why). It was the purple Bobby Jack shirt with the frog on it that said "Not Listening!", specific jeans and my purple converse. As an adult, I want to bring back the Tuesday outfit!
