Brothers from another Mother...
The Costacos Bros created some of the best sports posters of the 80s/90s but a lot of people dont know that they actually started out as an apparel company. Costacos Brothers was established in Seattle in 1985, with the idea of capturing the intensity, emotion, and power of sports, and initially did so on t-shirts only. The company then added posters to its line, and became so successful in this product category that t-shirts were eliminated entirely by 1990. Unlike Mark & Jose, Tock and John Costacos are real brothers who built their reputation with "fantasy" imagery that gave professional sports heroes a larger-than-life look and appeal.
