This was a first year Play design (1994) and has an image of my ex-girlfriend Amy Parker inside the P logo. (Trivia: same photo of amy that appeared in the Cookbook 1992)
I never sold many of these but it was one of my personal favorite Play designs. It features a drawing I made of a slug wearing a spiked collar. These pics were taken of Leigh during a catalog shoot in 1994. -Hal B
This shirt was made from one of Steve Buddendeck’s doodles of a happy devil figure jumping over a campfire. The illustration above is only a re-creation of the original. If you have a photo of one of these shirts, please send it to us! I do have a pic of the front. Below is Leig

Chris Hargrave did the artwork for this PLAY shirt: a guy doing a toboggan inside the word play. It was printed in 6 colors and was one of the last PLAY designs made. It also had a matching sticker that was pretty sweet. The name “new” toboggan refers to the fact that we h
Leif used to drink a lot of coffee. This was his first pro model tee with PLAY Clothes. Leif was also a humble person and insisted his name be very small on the shirt. That’s why only his signature appears under his artwork. Leif is an awesome artist and draws a lot of funny shi
Another best-selling PLAY shirt featuring artwork by Chris Hargrave of a dreadlocked rider doing a turndown over a hip. That’s a KISS sticker on his downtube, a favorite band of Chris’. Trivia: I lived with Chris for a year in Richmond, VA during the 2B days. He went on to
