On A Fashion Roll
With the popularity of throwback jerseys still in full swing--old-school NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB jerseys are showing up on celebrities and regular folks alike--yet another sport has been added to the mix: women's roller-derby uniforms.

"We have sold out of our first production run." The body-hugging tops and shorts represent four teams from the 1950s to the '70s: the O'Reily Renegades, the New York Bombers, the Latin Liberators and the Kansas City Bombers. --By Isabel Gonzalez
