This 2B logo (the Sex Object Racing Jersey) was designed for racing team riders and went on to become a standard shirt available to the public. Artwork by Steve Buddendeck. Available in 1992.

A huge thanks to Heath Balderston who sent me a scan of the first year catalog of 2B Homecooked products. (It probably appeared in his zine Elastic Grunt.) The Tarsier was one of my favorite early designs. What the hell is a tarsier you ask? It’s a tiny primate from the rainfore

Released in 1994, the BMX Bandit tee shirt had to be one of our laziest shirts ever. It was a one color, one side shirt, and the phrase was merely a stolen movie title. Leigh is making an appropriately stupid face in this catalog photo. -Hal B

This was the first Play Clothes embroidered logo tee shirt. It looks like it says “plPay” which is kind of dumb now that I look back at it.

This was one of the first Play shirts and I also think it was one of the crappiest. Pretty ugly right? What was I thinking. This is Leigh posing for a 1994 catalog shoot. -Hal B

This Play shirt was based on a dumb inside joke between Steve Buddendeck and me. We were on a road trip and to entertain ourselves we were holding up signs to to people we passed on the highway. The one that seemed to get the most smiles out of the ladies was Steve’s sign that s

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

I have no idea why I named this the Roughneck tee other than it was a rough logo. Even though it was one of the last PLAY designs made, the style hearkened back to the early ziney beginnings of 2B. The PLAY logo was laid on top of a silver Triceratops logo and printed on a heather gra

Leigh Ramsdell had three different pro model tees with PLAY Clothes over the years, but this one was probably our favorite, even though it is a blatant copyright infringement. Ralph Wiggum was one of the best characters on the Simpsons and sometimes he reminded us of Leigh. Other pro

I know this shirt got a lot of people in trouble when they wore it. And I know a lot of moms got offended by it. But I don’t give a shit. This is a cause I believe in. I never understood why bopping the bolgna was so frowned upon. If people would just be a little more open and a
