This premium West Haven A's Baseball tee captures a unique moment in minor league baseball history. The West Haven A's represented a brief but memorable chapter in Connecticut baseball, serving as the Double-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics during their 1981-1982 Eastern League seasons.
The team gained initial popularity among local fans for their scrappy play style and for hosting future MLB stars working their way up through the Athletics' farm system. However, declining attendance and financial challenges led to the franchise's relocation after just two seasons, making authentic West Haven A's merchandise increasingly rare and sought after by baseball historians and memorabilia collectors.
Our reproduction features the team's iconic logo with an authentically distressed, cracked, vintage feel that honors the original design while giving it that perfectly worn-in look of a treasured game-day shirt from the early '80s.
