Relive a colorful chapter of New Jersey basketball history with our Cherry Hill Rookies T-shirt, celebrating their 1973-75 run in the Eastern Basketball Association. The Rookies brought professional basketball to the Cherry Hill Arena, representing South Jersey in what was then one of the country's premier minor basketball leagues. Despite featuring talented players hoping to make the NBA and initial strong community interest, the team faced challenges including limited media coverage and competition from Philadelphia's professional sports scene. The franchise folded in 1975 as the EBA underwent significant changes and the economic pressures of mid-70s minor league sports took their toll.
