Why would they just not use the actual SummerSlam '97 graphic?  |

I really want to pull the trigger on the Macho Man jacket, but I just don't feel like I would wear it enough to justify the price.

I think it's a cool concept. I just don't see many older fans wearing these to be honest, but more of the younger crowd. The Stone Cold one is really nice. As a user stated above, why did they use a modern undertaker for the Bret jacket?

Why would they just not use the actual SummerSlam '97 graphic? For real...It's such an iconic poster. The photos aren't even from the right era. |

Why would they just not use the actual SummerSlam '97 graphic? Noticed that too. It's either because WWE is only promoting the more current version of Taker with licensees (see McFarlane statute, Figuarts, Funko Pop, Mystery Minis, etc.), or because the designers at Chalk Line goofed in a major way. Frankly I don't think they goofed as it's harder work (and more deliberate) to swap out the image of Taker than to just use the source material. |

You know what happens when you poorly recreate the SummerSlam 1997 poster in photoshop using inaccurate photos? Do you? Do you know what happens?
YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!

Wow yeah, why did they use that photo of Taker? At least Bret looked to fit the era in the pic they used of him, until I saw the comparison to the real poster art.
Cool idea, but I would never be caught dead in public wearing something like that. What I would love though would be to have authentic reproductions of ring jackets like from Bret, Shawn or Macho. Wouldn't wear it out of the house but would be so cool to own and wear around the house with my title belts.
