The Coolest Collection Of ‘80s Sports Posters You’ll Ever See

I wasn’t really conscious for most of the 1980s, but as far as I can tell, nothing epitomizes the era better than the canon of ridiculous actions movies that defined cinema at the time.

This is the sports poster equivalent to those films:

Strangely homoerotic? Completely over-the-top concept? Sorta seems like one, big ad for steroids? Check, check, and check.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg with Sports Illustrated’s gallery of ridiculous athlete posters from the 1980s. We haven’t even mentioned Bob Golic, the Bash Brothers, two separate Rifleman posters, Jim McMahon, Karl Malone, Chuck Person, or the Bermuda Triangle...

You can experience the gallery in all its glory over at Sports Illustrated, but if you’re a Bears fan, you pretty much need to find this poster immediately and pay whatever it takes to make it yours.

Seriously, the ‘80s were a hell of a decade to be a sports fan.
