This officially-licensed NBA photograph displays Warriors legend Rick Barry in all his glory, preparing to shoot a free throw. It’s personally signed by Barry, and reminds anybody looking at it of both his uncharacteristic underhanded free throws and the title he won with the Dubs back in 1975.

Golden State Warriors 12” x 30” Vintage Premium Felt Pennant
The current Golden State logo and color scheme is one of the better looking brands in the NBA, but the old looks of the Dubs weren’t lacking in visual appeal either. This pennant, which harkens back to the logo the Warriors used from 1969-1970, works doubly because it’s historic and also a nod to the uniforms the current Warriors still wear as alternate throwbacks sometimes.

Before Steph, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, the Warriors had another young big three. Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway made up some strong Golden State squads in the ’80s, and paved the way for more success in the early ’90s even after Richmond ended up in Sacramento.

Men’s Mitchell & Ness Navy/Orange Golden State Warriors Hardwood Classics XL Logo Adjustable Snapback Hat
This logo, used from the late 1990s until 2009, is noteworthy for a few reasons. It represents part of the worst run in franchise history, when the Warriors only made the playoffs once from 1995 until 2012. More importantly, it represents the growth from those rough patches, and Curry being drafted. The hat serves as both a reminder of how bad things were, and how quickly they’ve improved. It’s a must for dedicated Dubs fans.
These 10 items work well, but Fanatics has tons more options for all Golden State fans and, much like FanSided, has something for fans of just about every team you can think of.
