In the early 90’s, the best posters in the world were produced by Costacos Brothers. Earlier tonight, I was thinking about how awesome the Bernie Kosar Air Raid poster was, and decided to go searching for more. I had the Christian Okoye: Nigerian Nightmare poster and I know Brian had Emmitt Smith: Texas Twister. I couldn’t find Robin Ventura: Hot Corner… sorry.
I had a few others… Troy Aikman, Nolan Ryan, Michael Jordan. I tried to search for them, but couldn’t find a site that listed all of their posters. Those were sweet back in the day.
Costacos Sports Posters is still alive and well. They are now owned by Trends International, LLC.
Their web site is http://www.trendsinternational.com. Their posters are available in most major retailers in North America that sell posters.
Their full line of titles are also available on http://www.walldaddy.com

hi,
I was at Christaphor’s Steak house a sports bar in Cape Cod and noticed Poster board prints of the Red Sox, the name printed in the corner was Costacos Trends Internatonal. I’m looking for those prints and can’t seem to find them, can you help me? They were pictures of the Red Sox world series game 2007~
Thank you~
Don’t forget the best of all..”The Land of Boz” Brian Bosworth.
