New York and Paris Fashion Week designers were just "too legit to quit" as far as forgetting MC Hammer goes. (Admit it, you're now humming: 'too legit, too legit to quit, hey hey!' If you're doing the hand motions too, laugh at yourself now!) Back to the post, hammer pants were spotted on the Spring 2008 Runways and I'm getting nervous and praying fervently that these do NOT come back! I'm just not a fan even though I begged with every ounce of my body to have a pair when I was younger. I've added some great pics to show you JUST HOW FAMOUS Hammer was...I mean, cover of Rolling Stone, his own Mattell Doll and a Simplicity pattern...he def had it goin' on! The looks on the runway were much more subdued than Mr. Hammer himself...they're basically a combo between skinny pants and wide-legged pants. All I have to say on this, if hammer pants are back in the style circuit soon, I have four words..."You can't touch this!"
