In remembrance of that historic medal ceremony at the ‘68 Olympics in Mexico City, Stussy and Commonwealth hook up on yet another tee project. Capturing American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos throwing up that famous salute, the image caused a stir amongst the public at the time due to all the ongoing civil rights issues. Coming in two colors, they will be available Monday the 22nd at Commonweath locations including their web store.

    wow, this image has been pimped time and time and time again, but stussy/c’wealth outdid themselves this time. Framing the image in their logos, with a somewhat overused/trite bob marley quote? Please. This totally takes away the meaning and importance of the image. c’mon yall, stop blindly jockin their shit. this shirt’s kind of disgusting.
