Where can I buy this poster of Diego Maradona (preferably in the US)?

I don't know about that one, but this one three-quarters the way down the page is also super rad.

You also might like these posters from the World Cup series. I'll go back to the topic now, sorry - thought you might appreciate these too.

Last thing - have you emailed the Flickr user to ask where he took the photo? If it's in a museum, perhaps they have copies for sale or could point you in another direction. Or, if it was part of an exhibit, you might have better luck searching for that photographer/designer. If it's at someone's house, perhaps he could get in touch with the owner to read the fine print on the bottom right.

it's a Boca Juniors uniform he's wearing, so it's likely from '81 or '82. Not sure if that will help, but I wish you luck. Looking at Maradona pics for the past half hour has made me a better man.

barnone - thanks for the links, there are some nice posters there as well. The Flickr photo description indicates that it's hanging in someone's living room. Perhaps I will try to contact the user.

kickback - I knew it was a Boca uniform, but wasn't sure of the year. I love the contrast of the bright orange background against the blue and yellow.

Yeah, I'd definitely email the Flickr user, and ask him if it's possible to get the information on the bottom of the poster. It might have a company name, photographer's name or some other clue. I spent a while looking through my usual haunts and didn't see it anywhere...sorry! It is a super cool poster though, and the detailed photograph against the orange background is rad.
