Want to send me a tee to review on Co-Tee TV?

Larry Legend

The Boston Celtics has had their share of great players. Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, K.C. Jones, Dave Cowens, Kevin McHale and Paul Pierce. Despite all of these big named players, none compares (to me at least) to Larry Legend, the Hick From French Lick. In 1979, Larry Joe Bird signed a five-year contract with the C’s, becoming the highest paid rookie in the history of basketball. But he took it all in stride, saying, “No matter how good I am, I’m still just a hick from French Lick.” Bird went on to win three NBA championships and three MPV awards. He was also a twelve time All Star and nine time All NBA selection.

Both Larry Legend ($28) and The Hick From French Lick ($15) are available now from Homage Clothing.

That one is ok… but there are certainly better. Get a load of this slogan tee, which was presumably homemade in the 80′s:

Scroll forward to 2:40-1… now if only Homage would return my email.

Hey, nice find Travis! I could certainly believe that tee being homemade, in fact, I think those cut-out iron on letters are still sold today at craft stores and such.
