Relive a fascinating piece of soccer history with this vintage-inspired Montreal Olympique t-shirt. The Olympique made history as Montreal's first professional soccer team during their run in the North American Soccer League from 1971-1973. The team helped establish soccer's foothold in Quebec, playing their home matches at the historic Autostade and introducing the city to international stars like player-coach Graham Leggat.
Despite groundbreaking promotional efforts and introducing professional soccer to a new market, the Olympique struggled with the challenges of building a fanbase in an era when soccer was still gaining acceptance in North America. The team folded after the 1973 season, but their pioneering efforts laid the essential groundwork for Montreal's rich soccer tradition that followed.
This premium t-shirt features a distressed, vintage-style team logo on the front, perfectly capturing the nostalgic feel of this pioneering era in Canadian soccer history. The classic unisex fit is crafted from heavyweight 5.3 oz preshrunk cotton, ensuring comfort and durability. Printed using state-of-the-art direct to garment technology for exceptional detail and wash-fastness.
