Celebrate a fascinating chapter in LA soccer history with this Los Angeles Skyhawks t-shirt from the American Soccer League era. The Skyhawks soared into Los Angeles in 1976, playing their home games at East Los Angeles College Stadium and quickly making their mark by winning the ASL Championship in their inaugural season. Despite this early success and helping pioneer professional soccer in Southern California, the team folded in 1979 amid the broader financial struggles of American soccer in the pre-NASL boom years.
The distressed, weathered logo captures the spirit of this championship team and gives this shirt an authentic, vintage feel – as if it's been preserved since those groundbreaking days of American soccer. Printed on premium Gildan 5000 heavyweight cotton, this shirt offers the perfect blend of comfort and durability. The classic unisex fit and preshrunk fabric ensure it'll remain a comfortable favorite wash after wash.
Features:
- Premium 5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk cotton
- Available in sizes S-5XL
- Direct-to-garment printing for vibrant, long-lasting results
- Tear-away label for maximum comfort
- Clean, blank back design

Whether you're a soccer history buff who remembers the Skyhawks' championship run, a collector of rare sports memorabilia, or simply appreciate unique pieces of Southern California soccer history, this shirt is a perfect tribute to one of American soccer's pioneering franchises.
