    Zubaz (pronounced /zu?bæz/ ZOO-baz [1] ) is a brand of shorts and pants that became popular during the early 1990s. They were created in 1988 by two professional wrestlers the Road Warriors as a comfortable, functional short for weightlifting. They hoped to make a short that would stretch and expand with the body during a workout. In a short time, the shorts became wildly popular in the United States. The Zubaz company sold $100 million worth of products in 1991 alone. The company slogan was "Dare to be Different."

    "Zubaz" sounds like it could be the name of the successor to Zar Echo.

    You still have skidmarks in your underwear. So that counts for something.

    There were literally dozens of companies that sprang up at the time that made similar style pants.

    I still find them occasionally at thrift stores.

    I never had a pair of Zubaz, but I have some pajamas that look very similar.

    Oh, it is indeed unfortunate that the days of poofy zebra-striped pants, feathered mullets, Oakley iridium-coated sunglasses, and stopping for Hammertime are days gone by.

    Edit: Spelling. Damn sticky keyboard.

    All right, stop what you're doin', 'cuz I'm about to ruin the image and the style that you're used to.

    I'm in the right era, right?

    How about "Killer Loops?" Does anyone remember those obnoxious sunglasses? They were perfect for people who rode crotch rockets without helmets.

    Vin, don't forget the British Knights to go along with the Zubaz.
