The Topps Baseball Vintage T-Shirt Collection by Homage

The Topps Baseball Vintage T-Shirt Collection by Homage - The Real One T-Shirt


While most people are talking about football on this America’s biggest sports day of the year (the Super Bowl's today, duh), The Blot thought I’d turn my attention to the nation’s former favorite pastime, baseball! Everyone at some point in their life has bought a pack of trading cards (or wax packs), whether it was baseball cards, basketball cards, Garbage Pail Kids, Magic: The Gathering or Pokemon, and no name is more synonymous with trading cards than The Topps Company. Topps definitely played a big role in The Blot’s childhood, so of course I was really blown away to find out about these Topps vintage t-shirts by Homage!

Evidently the Topps x Homage Collection has been out for a while, but no one bothered to tell me. These Topps vintage t-shirts are inspired by the magic of card collecting, and features original Topps artwork from actual wax packs and old baseball cards found deep in the Topps Archives. Five different designs were produced in all (4 t-shirts and 1 hoodie), each one better than the last. My personal favorites are the “Topps All Star Rookie”, featuring the annual Topps All-Star Rookie Team logo, and “The Real One”.

The Topps x Homage Collection is currently available for purchase in sizes XS-XXXL at the Homage online store. The vintage t-shirts retail for $28, while the vintage Topps Baseball hoodie sells for $65.
