This cartoonish shirt depicting the original big-nosed rapper (and drawn by his creator/alter ego, Shock G) has, like the '90s, been making a comeback. It isn't pictured here, but the version of this shirt in our personal collection has a vital extra tagline: "Hump Who Ya Like."
1. Classic logo tee by Hieroglyphics
Hiero Imperium Classic logo tee by Hieroglyphics.
This simple yet powerful third eye symbol has come to represent the Bay Area all over the world. The popularity of the original shirt has lasted from '93 'til at least 2012, but the logo has been around even longer than that. Hiero member Del The Funky Homosapien created the image when he was in junior high school. (Talk about prescience.) More recently, it has been remixed and mashed up in clever forms with other iconic images like Mickey Mouse and the Oakland Raiders.
