The Sarasota Stingers emerged as part of the Continental Basketball Association in 1983, bringing professional basketball to Florida's Gulf Coast. Despite initially drawing enthusiastic crowds with their fast-paced style of play and regional appeal, the team faced significant financial challenges common to minor league basketball operations. By 1985, declining attendance and mounting operational costs led to the franchise's folding, ending the Stingers' brief but memorable run in Florida basketball history.
Available in sizes S-5XL in a wide variety of popular colors. The vintage logo appears on the front only, with a clean, blank back.
