Warrington Wolves • Re: OT Crosse and Blackwell Baked Beans
Apologies for bringing the beans thread back onto page one of the forum, but this is vaguely Rugby related (unlike most of the above).
Back in the 90s, I worked regularly in the South East and based myself in a room above a pub in Lewes, E Sussex. The pub was a big rugby pub - though the rugby was of the under-evolved code. The landlord also had a screen printing business and, in 1995, designed a tee-shirt and confidently printed hundreds. He then emailed every club in the Union advertising his wares (or "wears" in this case) and made a killing until a lawyer sent by a certain baked bean grocer walked into the bar one day with a cease and desist order and a million threats. Mike (the landlord) ceased and desisted - small businessmen don't beat international corporations in court - the law is for the rich.
Can't replicate the well known branded logo shape (jagged out arch over a trapezium) but this was the text

Younger readers might want to ask their dads what that was about.
