When you hear about the stylish Sasson Jeans from the 1970s and 1980s, disco and that elusive Elton John commercial may come to mind. But here's a fun fact: Sasson Jeans were not only popular in the fashion scene, but they were also the official jeans of the New York Rangers hockey team! Pretty cool, right? And it gets even better – they made commercials featuring the Rangers players having a blast on the ice, all while sporting their Sasson jeans.

In these legendary commercials, you'd see the likes of Phil Esposito, Ron Duguay, Don Maloney, Ron Greschner, and Anders Hedberg, all clowning around and having fun. These ads became iconic in the New York and New Jersey area, bringing joy and excitement to viewers. And now, I'm thrilled that these commercials have been posted online for everyone around the world to enjoy.

It's fascinating how a fashion brand like Sasson Jeans teamed up with a hockey team to create such memorable commercials. These commercials captured a unique blend of sports and style, making them a treat to watch for both fashion enthusiasts and sports fans alike. So, if you haven't checked them out yet, be sure to do so! It's a glimpse into a special time when the worlds of fashion and sports came together in a fun and fabulous way.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
