Hanna-Barbera Basketball Themed Shirts

 When you think of cartoons crossed with basketball, the chances are high your mind will immediately think of Space Jam, and all its related merchandise that crossed over the stars of both the NBA and the Looney Tunes. However, they weren't the only cartoon stars to get on board that train! Throughout the early 1990s, a number of Cartoon Network-themed shirts were released that featured the stars of Hanna-Barbera in sneakers and jerseys. Here are just a few of the ones I've scoured online.






One thing I find interesting about these shirts is the tag featured on some of them. It's the same art that was used in many pieces of promo material for Cartoon Network prior to its 1992 launch. Check the pic out below for a quick comparison. I'm honestly thinking about making a much more in-depth piece on all the 90s shirts that featured classic cartoon characters playing basketball. Trust me when I say that there's more than you think!
