Rekindle the Spirit of LA's Long-Lost Baseball Angels!
This vintage-inspired tee celebrates the Los Angeles Halos, the city's beloved minor league franchise before the Angels made their move from the west coast. Though their history was relatively brief, the Halos left an indelible mark on LA baseball fans.
The Halos joined the Triple-A Pacific Coast League in 1957 as an affiliate of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Playing their home games at historic Wrigley Field, they quickly developed a loyal following thanks to their talented rosters of future MLB stars mixed with gritty local heroes. Fans adored the Halos' crisp white and halo gold uniforms accented by the iconic "LA" logo with a baseball circling the letters.
Led by players like pitching prospect Don Sutton and slugger Ron Fairly, the overachieving underdog Halos won back-to-back PCL championships in 1958 and 1959. Their signature move called "Hitting the Halo" - a seventh inning stretch where the team gathered in a huddle and raised their arms in unison like angels - became a beloved ritual.
More than just a successful minor league franchise, the Halos symbolized baseball's deep roots in the culture and communities of mid-century Los Angeles. They provided affordable athletic entertainment during a transformative era when the city blossomed into the entertainment capital of the world.
While the Halos departed for Spokane after just 8 seasons in 1964, their iconic brand lives on through this nostalgic t-shirt sporting their timeless "LA" logo. Made of a soft cotton blend, it's available in sizes S-5XL in colors like white, gold and gray. Whether you're an Angels historian or simply love that vintage aesthetic, this retro Halos tee lets you rep the angels who imprinted LA baseball lore. Grab yours today and revive the holy spirit of the Los Angeles Halos!
