I remember shortly after 9/11 is when suddenly there was a big nostalgia fad in both sports (bringing back retros uniforms en masse, giving expansion teams a retro name/look, like Nationals, etc) and fashion in general, which seems to still be going strong today (teens obsessed with 90s fashion/music, in the 2000s it was the 80s).
I've always felt that started due to all the post 9/11 change and uncertainty in the world, and a yearning to go back to what is probably felt by many as a "simpler time".
