Relive a brief but energetic chapter of Ohio soccer history with our Columbus Invaders T-shirt, celebrating their 1996-97 season in the National Professional Soccer League. The Invaders brought fast-paced indoor soccer to the Ohio Expo Center Coliseum, arriving just as the city was embracing outdoor soccer with the launch of the Columbus Crew. Despite featuring exciting indoor action and attempting to capitalize on Columbus's growing soccer interest, the team faced significant challenges competing for fans and resources in their inaugural season. The franchise folded after just one year due to financial difficulties and the challenge of establishing indoor soccer in a market focused on the new MLS team.
