When I was a junior in high school, Limpies released this hoodie jacket thing that was like dalmation spotted. It was this big fuzzy pull-over thing that felt like a stuffed animal toy fur thing. It was pretty egregious and I purchased one. The biggest problem, though, was one of my skate pal crew also wanted it and purchased it.
To wear such a stand-out, attention grabbing piece, you had to have a devil-may-care attitude that I didn't quite possess. My buddy who had purchased the same jacket did in fact have this proper attitude and so he always wore his and everybody just thought it was the hottest shit and I felt sad and left out and embarrassed. I put my dalmation spotted jacket away and never wore it again.
So it was offensive in that it was ugly, but also offensive in that it showed what I was really made of, which wasn't much.
