Classic 80s/90s Sports Posters Vol VII: See Dick Run, Barkley Takes on Godzilla

Happy Friday, Legend revelers. We welcome any newbies who might be fresh to the blog from Hot Clicks link to yesterday's post. The Legend is staffed by two thirty-somethings who have plenty of opinions on sports, and its intersection with life and pop culture. Check out some recent creative musings from my partner in crime Erie's Scribe on Shooter McGavin and the strangeness of Leap Years to get a feel.

We also have a mini-tradition here of paying homage to classic 80s/90s sports posters on Fridays. So, without further preamble. From our readers...



Our thanks to Chris for this submissions. His thoughts on the Dickerson classic:

This hung on my walls for about 4 years. I never wised up to the fact that this guy loved the sidelines as much as life itself. I doubt that they'll ever put "See Dick Run" on a poster again. The Barbaro reference is nice. Enjoy.

Here's a second beauty from Filtering Craig:

It was a commercial. It was a shoe. It was a poster. It pitted everyone's favorite scary Japanese, fire-breathing, miniature-scale model terrorist lizard against ... ... Godzilla. Wait a minute, I mean against Charles Barkley. Cheesy jokes aside, I remember all this so well. I think I bought this poster in the mall at Spencers out of one of those racks that you spoke of. I also bought some of that crazy blue tacky stuff 'cause my mom wouldn't let me put pin holes in the walls. This poster was in rough shape because it kept falling off the wall because that tacky stuff would never last.
