Commonwealth

Summer 68

22 September 2008, 23.32 | Posted in Uncategorized | No comments »

By now many of you are aware that we dropped our most recent collaborative tee with Stussy. The shirt features a large photo print of Tommie Smith and John Carlos’ protest salute at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968 seen across the world. The image itself has been used many times in the past, but we felt with this year being the 40th anniversary of the historical moment, and with the games held in China, that the image is just as powerful now as it was then.

While supplies last we will also be giving away a Commonwealth Badge set with purchase of either tee.

Available instore now or by phone order. Go to Commonwealth Online now for more information.

It’s been a minute since we’ve dropped a Commonwealth New Era, but no worries, we’re about to hit you with two new styles shortly. Modeled after the berets worn by Oaklands Black Panther Party, and N.Y.C.’s Guardian Angels the “Panther” fitted caps feature a felt wool crown in black or red, and a black leather bill, in addition we’ve added custom Commonwealth pins similar to the ones worn by political and civil rights activists of the 60’s and 70’s.

Our second cap slated for release is dubbed the ALL “C” EEING” New Era, featuring our Pyramid logo embroidered tonally up front, and a small CMON hit on the back. This hat will be available in your choice of black, green or purple. Stay tuned to our newsletter and or VIP Text Messaging service for a solid release date.
