leedsunited Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 You know these posters. Football, Baseball, Basketball players of the era in some crazy setup, usually depicting their nickname? They did the famous Bash Brothers poster for Canseco/McGwire, and many others. I was just trying to remember the most obscure one i've ever seen, I think it was a Kevin McReynolds "Stickball" poster.

Coacher42 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Oh yeah, I remember those! They were based out of Seattle and I loved their stuff. I have to admit, I had a "Land of Boz" poster. The girl that was playing the part of Dorothy was HOTT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I was waiting for somebody to mention Costacos Bros. after seeing the previous poster thread. I had a Pat Falloon (there's a name from the past, eh?) "Shark Attack" poster and a Steve Yzerman poster in my room when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grish Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 A friend of mine start working for them in the late 90's. He used to send me small samples on and off. They had some good ones...Gabriel Reese had a good series of posters from them at one point. My favorite... "Try not to have a good time ...

ElwoodCuse Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 My one friend had a whole wall full of these. The only ones I can remember now were the Christian Okoye "Nigerian Nightmare" one and the Rickey Henderson one (with an armored truck full of bases).

Byron19 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I had a ton of these, my favorite one was the Ken Griffey Sr and Jr poster when they were both hanging out in front of their lockers. Another cool one (and this actually may have been Nike) but it was of Bo Jackson and it was simply called "Black and Blue."A buddy had one of Roger Clemens where he was looking to the catcher for a sign and he had a baseball that had a rocket protruding from the ball. It was simply dubbed "The Rocket". Good thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger77 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Worst one I ever saw was a Brett Hull and Adam Oates poster they were dressed like "rockers" holding their sticks like guitars and the caption was Hull and Oates. Trying to cash in on the Band Hall and Oates.Cant find a pic of the poster. Would post it if i could, I was embarrassed looking at the damn thing!Hopefully somebody can find and post it.Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therebelas Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I believe one of the Pro-Line football card sets had some of those posters as foil inserts. I know I pulled a few of them, just can't remember the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorss9 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 www.sportsposterwarehouse.com still has quite a few of those. And I agree that these were pretty mandatory for sports fans in the early and mid 90's. "Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 My favorite from that era was entitled "Field Generals". It looked to be shot from inside a tent on the battlefield. Several quarterbacks were dressed in military uniforms from various time periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
