The Boston Lobsters World Team Tennis Retro T-Shirt
Serve up some classic 1970s tennis style with this vintage tee featuring the iconic logo of the Boston Lobsters. The Lobsters were an entertaining franchise that competed in the revolutionary World Team Tennis league from 1973 to 1978.
During the mid-1970s, World Team Tennis brought an exciting new concept to pro tennis - co-ed teams featuring men and women in a fast-paced team format. The Boston Lobsters were one of the original WTT teams, hosting raucous home matches at the Boston University Walter Brown Arena.
With their sleek red and white color scheme along with a stylized lobster claw graphic, the Lobsters established an instantly recognizable New England brand and look. Tennis greats like Stan Smith, Bob Lutz and Francoise Durr donned the Lobsters colors.
Though the league contracted after 1978, the success and popularity of the Lobsters franchise helped cement WTT's revolutionary legacy of gender-integrated team tennis competition.
This 100% cotton tee features the vintage 70s Lobsters team logo printed in their classic red and white colors. Available in sizes S-5XL with your choice of various color options. Front graphic only with a blank back.
Whether you're a New Englander reminiscing about the WTT glory days, a tennis purist, or just dig funky retro branding, serve up some nostalgic Boston flair with this throwback Lobsters World Team Tennis shirt.
