Detroit Shock WNBA Classic Tee - 1998-2009 Commemorative Edition
Celebrate one of women's basketball's most successful franchises with this vintage-inspired Detroit Shock t-shirt. As one of the WNBA's first expansion teams, the Shock brought professional women's basketball to The Palace of Auburn Hills and quickly built a dynasty. Under the legendary coaching of Bill Laimbeer, the team transformed from last place in 2002 to WNBA Champions in 2003, adding additional titles in 2006 and 2008. Despite their tremendous success, including six Eastern Conference Finals appearances and three WNBA Championships, economic challenges during the 2009 recession led to the team's relocation to Tulsa.
