    Bexley Goosebumps

    Incorporated in 1908 and home to institutions like the Drexel Theater, Rubino’s Pizzeria and Capital University, the Columbus suburb Bexley, Ohio is the birthplace of a singular spook who strikes terror in the hearts of children worldwide: Robert Lawrence Stine.

    Perhaps you know him better as R.L. Stine, creator of kid’s horror series Goosebumps. Growing up in Bexley, Stine stumbled on a typewriter in his attic at age nine and instantly channeled his shy personality into a prolific, pintsize joke writer, ascending to the helm of his high school newspaper and then Ohio State’s humor magazine, the Sundial. So when did the man known as Jovial Bob take a turn to terror town? His initial departure came in 1986 with his first young adult horror novel “Blind Date,” but, according to him, it all really started with one of his childhood favorites “Tales From The Crypt.” Flash forward to 1992 with his first Goosebumps novel, “Welcome to Dead House,” and history commenced. Pay homage to the birthplace of the world’s best-selling children’s horror author.

    A portion of this shirt’s proceeds benefit the Bexley Education Foundation, a nonprofit committed to educational initiatives that enhance excellence in Bexley City Schools since 1983.

And, remember, never play golf, for money, against people—but if you do, make it worth your while and double the stakes a couple of times. Pay homage to the snobs, slobs and varmint of Bushwood Country Club.

    The Goonies

    From the truffle shuffle to the nefarious Fratellis, 1985’s coming-of-age classic “The Goonies” had it all and had us spending multiple summers on the hunt for our own One-Eyed Willie fortune. The movie that kicked off a string of 80s hits for Corey Feldman and introduced the world to the acting chops of Sean Astin and Josh Brolin taught us many valuable lessons—but none more so than, “Goonies never say die!”

    Pay homage to the Walsh bros, Chunk, Data, Mouth and the rest of the gang with this cinematic throwback.

    USA Drinking Team Raglan

    Ratified in January of 1919 but enacted a year later, the 18th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution made the manufacturing and retail of alcohol illegal for nearly 13 years—but not the consumption of alcohol, which was a bit of a loophole.

    With the 21st Amendment going into effect on December 5th, 1933, Prohibition was officially repealed, states were allowed to set their own alcohol-control laws, and the unofficial U.S.A. Drinking Team was founded. Wanna join? Already a member? Look the part in this lightweight raglan, featuring a 3/4 sleeve. Cheers!

    Hoosiers Hickory High

    Hickory High School coach Norman Dale may be a fictional character from the 1986 film Hoosiers, but the excitement that surrounds the beginning of basketball season in Hoosier country is no myth. In the film, when Dale (Gene Hackman) is about to step into the gym for his first game as coach at Hickory, he pauses for a moment, adjusts his tie, catches his breath, and says to himself, “Welcome to Indiana basketball.”

    Rocky Balboa

    A cinematic underdog more resonant than Rocky Balboa? We don’t think we could handle it—much less dream one up. The fictional odyssey of the southpaw Italian Stallion played by Sylvester Stallone transcends generations and heralds a hero we never tire of re-watching.

    From breaking legs while collecting debts in the rough Philadelphia neighborhood of Kensington to becoming an international force responsible for melting Cold War tensions, nothing is out of the question for Rocky Balboa, a man determined to “go the distance” and “prove somethin” all on his own terms.

    With enough sentimentality and inspirational one-liners to rival any self-help book, the seven-feature epic of “Rocky” has engrossed audiences for four decades. Why? Because who can resist the opening notes of that music, those iconic training montages and fully channeling the man whenever confronted with major life obstacles or just everyday annoyances? Pay homage.

    World Series Of Rock

    Every summer from 1974 until 1980, Belkin Productions and FM rock radio station WMMS staged day-long, multi-act summer rock concerts dubbed the World Series of Rock.

    Held at Cleveland Stadium and attended by upwards of 80,000 fans, the events were raucous and one of a kind. The WSOR alumni are a veritable who’s who of rock 'n roll - the ’79 show featured Scorpions, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Journey, and Ted Nugent, and was headlined by Aerosmith.

    Pay homage and rock on!

    The Beast

    That impossibly slow and steady tick echoes in your eardrums, your stomach swishes, and those sweaty palms can’t grip your seat quite tight enough as you near the starting 135-feet drop on the longest wooden roller coaster in the world.

    Thundering through Cincinnati’s Kings Island for the first time in 1979, the Beast remains one of the most iconic coasters in the world—just ask one of the 45+ million riders that have taken in the whiplashing views of the Queen City. What makes the coaster still legendary in an age of absurdist steel contraptions? How ‘bout a tunneled double helix finale. Up your heartbeat and dare to tangle with Cincy’s main scare. After you do, grab this classic so you can officially say, “Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.”

    Kings Island

    Ahhh, 364 acres of thrilling glory. From the stomach-testing free fall of Drop Tower to iconic coaster the Beast to Soak City’s brand new seven-story, 449-feet-long waterslide Tropical Plunge, you just can’t do the park justice in a single visit. For the funnel cakes alone, you need that yearly pass.

    Opening in 1972, the Cincinnati-area spectacle has a history of leaving its guests out of breath between its more than 45 rides. And while Action Zone is where it’s at, when the lines exceed your patience limit, hit International Street for some cross-continent flair and delicious grub. Only rule of the park: Don’t leave until they sound that closing call announcement.

    A Hug In A Mug

    Legend has it that coffee was first discovered by some goat herder named Kaldi, in Ethiopia, who found his previously bummed-out goats frolicking and full of energy after eating the red fruit of a coffee shrub.

    We can certainly relate to those goats.

    This International Coffee Day, pay homage to the caffeinated comfort that’s always there to wake you up, pick you up and even wind you down.

    THINK

    In the early 1980s, Apple Computer was a small company living in the shadow of IBM. Co-founder Steve Jobs hung a poster behind his desk: IBM's "THINK" motto, in the stylized colors of Apple's trademark logo.

    It reflected Jobs' philosophy perfectly: “The minute you understand that you can poke life and actually something will, you know if you push in, something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mold it. That’s the most important thing. It’s to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you’re just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.”

    Pay homage.

    Stay Hungry Stay Foolish

    Stay hungry. Stay foolish. It originated in 1974 as the farewell message on the back page of the Whole Earth Catalog, a counter-culture magazine that got the attention of one transcendent icon: Steve Jobs.

    Beginning in 1968 when communal living and self-reliance were becoming popular trends in America, the catalog published by Stewart Brand combined articles and product reviews to promote "ecology, self-sufficiency and do-it-yourself projects." The concept catalog quickly took off. Legendary inventor and Apple cofounder Steve Jobs regarded the publication as his personal Bible, and after seeing its sign-off message, he adopted the four words as his mantra.

    In 2005 he instantly popularized the motto when he shared it with Stanford graduates during his now-famous commencement speech, and just like Jobs, HOMAGE wishes to pass it on: Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

    In memory of Steve Jobs, a portion of this item's proceeds benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

    Boomshakalaka

    Netting upwards of $1 billion in quarters, the original 1993 arcade release of NBA Jam took the gaming world by storm. As the first-ever NBA-licensed coin-operated arcade game, NBA Jam featured mad dunks, outrageous rejections and three-point shots that were simply electrifying. Expressions from the game such as "He's heating up!", "He's on fire!" and "Boomshakalaka!" immediately entered our vernacular and will forever hold a cherished place in popular culture.

Modeled on a former neighbor of “Seinfeld” co-creator Larry David, the eccentric Cosmo Kramer burst through Jerry’s door and right into television history as the hapless man of a million ideas, thanks entirely to comedian Michael Richards. Pay homage to the nuttiest character on the sitcom that redefined the genre with a tee rocking “The Kramer” portrait from season three’s episode “The Letter.”
