125 Years of Coca Cola with Jack Spade

Jack Spade have got together with Coca-Cola to celebrate 125 of the sweet sweet fizzy stuff. There's something about real Coca-Cola that evokes the good ol' times. It pretty much tastes the best as well as always seeming to look pretty cool in those little glass bottles on the shelf. Anyways, Jack Spade (who I've previously blogged about) were given free reign to dip into Cola's old slogans catalog and design the designs on their own products.

All the products use original slogans and patterns, ranging from "Ice Cold Sunshine"1932, "I'd like to buy the world a Coke"1971 to the interlocking "Cs" on the baseball cap which was originally used on official merchandise around 1910. Each item is on a pretty limited basis, with between 150 and 300 of each. As a rule I'm generally not into slogans, I usually think people look right wazzocks in them but I can properly get on board with some nostalgic ones like this.

So go on, which do you prefer, Coca-Cola or Pepsi?

  2. I like the grey of that t-shirt with the red of the hat. Nice, simplistic design. Also (maybe cos I don't drink Coke) it really makes me want a fizzy cola bottle sweet

  3. What a lovely way of celebrating. Want that t-shirt, even though coke are evil aren't they? Although I'm always amazed at the business brains behind giving coke to troops to make it so Americanised. Very clever.

    Tricky decision...I used to be a real Pepsi girl, but recently have converted to diet coke! I really like the canvas bag and the 'I'd like to buy the world a coke' tee.
