The Heritage and Legacy
Formed in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1984, New Kids On The Block—comprising Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood—transformed the music industry. Their 1988 album, Hangin’ Tough, reached number one on the Billboard 200 and produced iconic hits like “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever).” By 1990, the group achieved unprecedented commercial success, earning the title of the highest-paid entertainers of that year according to Forbes, effectively setting the blueprint for the modern boy band phenomenon.
The design elements on this glass reflect the aesthetic of the group’s peak popularity. The inclusion of the cassette tape icon references the era of analog music consumption, while the high-top sneaker and microphone motifs mirror the street-style choreography and stage presence that defined their 1989-1990 world tours. The vibrant pink and teal color palette captures the visual identity of the late 80s, providing a nostalgic link to the era when the group sold out arenas globally.
Care and Longevity Guide
To maintain the integrity of the 3D resin appliques, this glass requires hand washing only. Avoid abrasive sponges or scouring pads that may scratch the surface of the emblems. Do not place this item in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents will compromise the adhesive bond and the finish of the molded icons.
The glass features a weighted base to provide stability during use. When storing, place the item in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the resin components from fading or becoming brittle over time. The raised texture provides a distinct tactile grip, making it a functional addition to a home bar or display shelf.
Is this glass dishwasher safe?
No, this glass must be hand washed. The high-relief resin appliques are sensitive to dishwasher heat and detergents.
What is the capacity of the glass?
The glass holds 11 ounces, which is the standard volume for a whiskey tumbler or rocks glass.
Are the graphics printed or attached?
The graphics are 3D molded resin appliques attached to the exterior of the glass, creating a tactile, raised surface.
Can I use this for hot beverages?
This glass is designed for cold or room-temperature liquids. Extreme heat may affect the adhesive used for the exterior emblems.
