This classic tee features the team's distinctive logo on the front, rendered with a distressed, cracked finish that gives it an authentic vintage look and feel, perfectly capturing the spirit of this short-lived but memorable franchise.
The New York/New Jersey Knights were a professional American football team that competed in the World League of American Football (WLAF) during its inaugural season in 1991 and its second season in 1992. The WLAF was an attempt by the NFL to create a spring developmental league with a global presence. The Knights represented the New York metropolitan area, including parts of New Jersey, playing their home games at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.
During their brief existence, the Knights provided football fans in the region with an opportunity to enjoy professional football during the NFL's off-season. The team featured a mix of young players hoping to make it to the NFL and veterans looking to extend their careers. While their on-field success was limited, the Knights were part of an interesting experiment in expanding American football's reach.
