Dive into a lesser-known chapter of New England basketball history with our New England Gulls T-shirt. This classic tee features the team's distinctive logo on the front, rendered with a distressed, cracked finish that gives it an authentic vintage look and feel, perfectly capturing the spirit of this short-lived but intriguing franchise.
The New England Gulls were a professional basketball team that briefly competed in the United States Basketball League (USBL) during the mid-1980s. Based in Massachusetts, the Gulls were part of the USBL's efforts to establish a successful spring/summer professional basketball league. Despite their brief existence, the Gulls provided basketball fans in New England with an alternative to the NBA, showcasing a mix of up-and-coming talent and former college stars.
The team's tenure was short-lived, as they faced the financial challenges common to many minor league sports franchises of the era. However, during their time on the court, the Gulls contributed to the rich tapestry of New England's basketball history, offering fans a unique brand of hoops action during the NBA's off-season.
Crafted from 100% preshrunk heavy cotton, this comfortable shirt is ideal for showcasing your appreciation for obscure basketball history. The standard unisex fit ensures a flattering look for all body types, while the tear-away label adds to the comfort. Available in a wide range of popular colors and sizes from S to 5XL, there's a perfect option for every fan and collector of unique sports memorabilia.
Printed on high-quality Gildan 5000 fabric weighing 5.3 oz, this durable shirt is built to withstand the test of time, much like the memories of the Gulls' fast-paced games. The logo appears only on the front, leaving the back blank for a clean, classic appearance.
