The Bermuda short trend

Does anyone remember the curious craze for fluerescant designed Bermuda shorts, and T-shirts in the 1989-90 period? It seemed that everyone was wearing them in the summer of '89, and fluerescant colours dominated youth clothing at this time. I always wanted those Bermuda shorts, but my dad would never get me a pair. Did anyone on here own a pair?:p

Bermuda Triangle were a popular brand where I grew up. I didn't have any of their shorts but did sport a neon orange t-shirt made by them. It had little holes in it a bit like a string vest. I'd pair that with my shorts and a baseball cap, also from Bermuda Triangle. The cap was bright green and had a little flap of material on the back that hung down over the neck like a French Foreign Legion hat. You could see me coming from miles off .
Whoever sold them to you certainly saw you coming.
I was 10, who cares?
Edit: I think my inspiration was probably Timmy Mallet.
Yes, I had quite a few pairs of Ocean Pacific ones.
Yes he certainly was Waccaday!!! On reflection, I think the whole illuminous colour thing may have been a fashion inspired by the acid house movement.
