Step back in time with this authentic Central Illinois Express WBL t-shirt. Part of the short-lived World Basketball League (1988-1992), the Express played in Bloomington-Normal during the league's most exciting period. The WBL was unique for its "under 6'5" height limit and fast-paced style that drew initial crowds and TV deals.
Despite early success, financial troubles and competition from the CBA led to the league's collapse in 1992. This rare piece of sports history features a distressed, vintage-style team logo print on premium Gildan 5000 cotton.

- Sizes S-5XL
