Dome is where the heart is...






Another vintage Costacos Brothers poster from our stash! Pat Swilling, Vaughan Johnson, Sam Mills and Rickey Jackson aka The Dome Patrol were the Saints linebacker corp of the late 80s, early 90s. During their reign, the Saints made four playoff appearances, including the franchise's first ever playoff appearance in 87 and also claimed one western division title. The Saints' defense led the league in least points surrendered and turnovers in 1991, and again in least points surrendered in 1992. The defense also boasted twenty-seven games giving up ten or fewer points, with five shutouts. The four linebackers made NFL history by collectively being named to the Pro Bowl in 1992.

This is one of the more collectible Costacos posters out there, last year one sold on eBay for $500!!!

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.
