About this poster
This Wu-Tang Clan concert poster by Todd Slater features an illustration done in gold, brown, and black tones showing two NBA legends - Dr. Julius Erving and Larry Bird - locked in their famous on-court brawl. The artwork captures the intensity of their well-known rivalry, with the two players grappling in what became one of basketball's most memorable confrontations.
Created for Wu-Tang Clan's show on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, at Rams Head Live! in Baltimore, MD, the poster connects the legendary basketball rivalry to Wu-Tang's own competitive spirit and street credibility. Slater's design works perfectly here because Wu-Tang has always drawn inspiration from various aspects of American culture, from martial arts to sports.
The background is filled with a repeating pattern of Wu-Tang's iconic "W" logo symbols scattered across the composition, reinforcing the group's brand while adding visual depth. The earthy color palette gives the whole piece a vintage feel that matches Wu-Tang's throwback aesthetic and old-school hip-hop roots.
What makes this poster special is how it blends basketball history with hip-hop culture - two worlds that have always been closely connected. The clean lines and dramatic shadows emphasize the physicality and raw emotion of that famous NBA moment, making it a perfect metaphor for Wu-Tang's own aggressive, no-holds-barred approach to music.
