Be ready for the warm months of the year with the Supreme Lion Raglan Baseball Top. If you know anything about the history of graffiti, especially in New York, then you know about Lee Quinones. The artist has been tagging and spraying on the streets of the city since the 70’s. He was part of some of the largest tagging crews around and was one of the first people to bomb full subway cars. His style of art continually evolved, often times including commentary to his pieces. He also helped put into focus social issues including poverty, war and society. His works becoming so popular that his canvas changed from illegal public spaces to museums like at the MoMa. The baseball top keeps it simple and shows off one of Lee’s most popular and favorite pieces. The Lion’s Den piece was put up by Lee in 1980 on a handball court on his junior high school. It is one of his favorite pieces due to the techniques and complexity of the piece. The lion recreated in black and white and added to the center of the cotton crewneck. The body contrasts with the collar and sleeves which is seen here in red. The only other detail to the top is the sizing athletic label added to the lower front. Sold for $88, the Supreme Lion Raglan Baseball Top was released on May 3rd, 2018.
