Three years before Texas Western won the NCAA championship with an all-black starting lineup, Loyola University (Chicago) won the 1962-63 title and ushered in a new era of racial equality in college basketball. Coach George Ireland’s teams played as many as four African-American players at a time in an era when no team would play more than three. In the spring of ’63, Loyola faced an all-white Mississippi State in the regional semifinal. Despite protests from the governor and state police of Mississippi, the game went ahead as planned. Loyola beat Mississippi State and went on to the championship game, in which Loyola started four black players and Cincinnati started three, the first time that a majority of African-Americans participated in the NCAA championship game.

HOMAGE turns back the clock with shout outs to eclectic moments and personalities in sports, music, politics and political culture with unique vintage apparel.

It was a historic year. Under the helm of Jud Heathcote, the Spartans won the national title with a 75-64 victory in the final game against ISU. With the help of MOP Magic Johnson, MSU's win over Indiana State was its first over a number one ranked team. It wasn’t until 2007 that it happened again.

The People’s Champion and the People’s Partner. Followed by the Rock millions (and millions) of fans. Not to mention the dozens (and dozens) of Mankind’s fans, the Rock n’ Sock Connection was the definition of water and oil in the world of wrestling. Two men that couldn’t be more different from one another, but when together, they were absolutely electric. And the September 27th, 1999 episode of Raw was no exception as Mankind and the Rock provided one of the highest rated segments in the history of the show with a version of “This is your Life.” Pretty good for one of wrestling’s favorite odd couples...if you smmmeellllll what the Rock (n’ Sock) are cooking!
