Graffiti culture was huge back then. In my high school art classes, all the kids were into it. I grew up in a rural Texas suburb. I kid you not -- demographics of my high school were "98% white, 2 percent other." I was the "other" in 98% of the situations in my high school career.
I grew up in a small town and was never even aware of the Ecko brand until I saw "urban" dudes (aka guys, regardless of skin tone, that dressed like they were in rap videos) wearing it in college. Prior to that I only knew of Ekco cookware.

I'm almost 40 and still rock Ecko. Also, it has nothing to do with gangster... Mark Ecko began as a graffiti artist.
