Sports Propaganda Artwork Mixes Old Time Feel with Today’s Stars


One really unique item that’s new to Ironclad is this Joe Mauer Sports Propaganda Print that’s been signed by Twins All-Star Joe Mauer.

The print, which is limited edition of 200, is 17x21 and features Joe Mauer in his catching gear with the slogan “Always Ready”.  The artist of the piece, Chris Speakman, hand makes each of the screen prints making them extremely rare. The idea for the “Propaganda” style of artwork comes from inspiration of various war-like rivalries around sports as well as propaganda art from the 1940's. Chris also made some limited edition Cal Ripken Jr. pieces for us that are still available through our website, ironcladauthentics.com.
