Homage jumped off with licensure to market Ohio State Buckeyes gear a couple of years ago. Since, the clothing troupe has far outpaced its quiet Midwestern roots (Ohio to be exact) by offering brand new “aged” t-shirts fresh off the press that reference bygone popular culture mantras, expired ballplayers and fallen politicians.
The brand has blown up with fashion-conscious cats in Japan, but admittedly, U.S. heads have been a little slow to recognize.
Pistol Pete: Press Maravich–”I gave him the fundamentals, but the between-the-legs, behind-the-back, blind stuff Pete does, I never even thought of that.” Don’t forget about the hair, Poppa Press.
Detroit: Straight from the website–“According to a 1984 Time Magazine article, guns came close to ranking as household appliances in Detroit, with an estimated 1.5 million firearms in a city of only 1.2 million people.”
World B. Free: With Free on board with k1x, the World B. movement is in full swing. Chalk up this gold/burgundy affair as another win for the Brownsville native.
Elevator Ernie Johnson: Ernie Johnson coordinates TNT’s award winning “Inside the NBA” with analysts Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley. Johnson’s unlikely ups provide inspiration for this tee. Don’t believe me? (A portion of this shirt’s proceeds benefits The Lymphoma Research Foundation.)
White Men’s Cant Jump: Rosie Perez, lackluster hoops action, an unbelievable day of “Jeopardy!”, and Rosie Perez.
Moses Malone: A note to religious pundits: Moses was black. Malone delivered an NBA Championship to the City of Brotherly Love under his “Fo’, Fo’, Fo’” manta.
Jesse Jackson, President ‘84: Jesse’s been around for a while now.
Let Them Eat Jellybeans: The backbone to Reagan’s voodoo economics wasn’t his degree from Eureka University or a staunch cabinet of advisers. Rather, it was the glass jar of assorted jellybeans he kept on his desk, encouraging visitors to dip in and enjoy a handful.
