Powell Peralta - Caballero Dragon II Tee Light Pink
About the Original Caballero Dragon Artwork:
After placing third overall in the Gold Cup Series and being chosen as the "Rookie of the Year" in 1980, Steve Caballero had demonstrated his readiness for a professional signature model. While initially offered a simple propeller/skull nose-art graphic, he rejected it in favor of his own sketches for consideration. One of them featured a crouching dragon, which the company pursued with the help of artist VCJ, who made some adjustments before finalizing the design. The deck was debuted in December 1980 and the graphic received such positive feedback that it remained in use until 1986.
Originally Released: 1980
