California Triumphant

A Vintage Poster Reproduction of the 1931 California Stadium Knight

A knight in full jousting splendour, a steed draped in regal blue, a pennant proclaiming a singular date—November 21, 1931. What sorcery is this?

This isn’t just a game-day poster. It is a visual ode to valour, tradition, and the boundless pomp of American collegiate life. This bold knight of the Golden West, adorned with the proud emblem of the University of California, charges not toward battle—but glory.

Commissioned for the California–Stanford football game in 1931, this poster is a masterstroke of Art Deco style fused with medieval romanticism. It crackles with confidence and composure, idealism and athleticism. And yet beneath all that grandeur, it retains a cheeky glimmer—a sense that even nobility enjoys a good Saturday afternoon showdown.

🎨 The Design: Armour Meets Aesthetic

• The angular shield, the fur-lined mantle, the stylised florals beneath the steed’s hooves—all evidence of a designer's hand in complete control of form and function.

• The black and gold of California, rendered in that deliciously moody colour palette of early 1930s print—evocative, punchy, and timeless.

• The dynamic yet minimal composition reflects the precision and modernism of the Art Deco era, while the subject itself honours a mythic past.

This is what happens when Hogwarts meets Berkeley.
