For the Kids - an exhibition of classic sports lithographs from the Costacos Brothers archives - heads to Los Angeles this January after a successful run in New York.
Some of the images (and most of the pants) will look dated today. But it's worth noting - before the Costacos brothers started creating images of NBA stars and other top athletes in fantasy or science fiction settings, sports posters were mostly just photos of game action.
(That said, I can't decide if this photo of Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson or this shot of Dale Ellis features a more embarrassing pair of pants.)
The exhibit opens on January 21st at Country Club Projects in Los Angeles.
