Classic 80s/90s Sports Posters, Vol. VI: New York State of Mind

Happy Friday, Legend faithful. Today, we take a NY sports fan-style trip through the classic 80s-90s poster archives. As former Met Mike Cameron, and one of our favorite Seattle bloggers proclaim, enjoy the enjoyment.

Scott from Philly: "My favorite. I now have a framed copy of it hanging over my bed signed by the man himself."

First off, we won't judge Scott for being a grown man with a signed Mattingly poster hanging over his bed. Second, what's with the proliferation of guns in these circa 80s-90s posters (see previous editions and examples here and here).



Whereas the Knicks are nothing but a source of consistent depression this decade, they used to be pretty OK.

Cangrejero writes: "Just remembered that my little brother had this bad boy hanging up in the room we shared as kids."

So many of us did. Wonder how the Eddy Curry posters are selling these days? I recommend a photo of #34 surrounded by an offensive spread of food, turkey leg in hand, with his gut prominently featured affixed with the title: "Force in the Middle." Can I get a photoshop expert in to mock this up?

In the meantime, one of the great in-game dunks of all-time.



Now, onto a few of my personal memories and long-suffering teams.

The New York Sack Exchange is now prominently featured when you get up the 300 level at the Meadowlands. Mark Gastineau was a bad man...with a sweet porn 'stache.



Doc was so good, he didn't need a clever tagline. Seriously, I've rarely watched a pitcher since who dominated like he did. Filthy.
