These Unfortunate Trends Were Ruined By All The Unwelcome Negativity Associated With Them

There are items and trends that get a negative connotation because of their unwanted association with a specific event or person. For example, the Chicago Cubs were seamlessly tied into the mindset of losing for about a century. “Yeah, I think our team this year is going to be a Chicago Cubs because our players suck.”

This is an innovator’s nightmare. Imagine putting your heart and soul into something and then having a reputation get ruined because it was worn by a notorious criminal. Trench coats took a huge hit after Columbine. Reddit users continue to impress as they all shared the things that are ruined because of the negative vibes associated with them. Enjoy.

The Bank Robber Special

Some of the most practical items get hijacked by the worst types of people. These ski masks are insanely warm and are the only apparel that can keep your cheeks from freezing off while allowing you to see fine and talk normally. The problem is that you can’t wear them without instantly looking like you’re about to rob a bank, which is an inconvenience at best.
