Celebrate a unique chapter in New York soccer history with our New York United 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.
New York United was a professional soccer team that competed in the American Soccer League (ASL) during the late 1970s and early 1980s. As part of the second tier of American soccer at the time, United represented an important step in the growth of the sport in the United States during a period of significant development for soccer in the country.
Based in the New York metropolitan area, United provided local soccer enthusiasts with an opportunity to witness high-level play, featuring a mix of domestic talent and international players. While their time in the league was relatively brief, the team contributed to the rich tapestry of New York's soccer history, bridging the gap between earlier soccer ventures and the eventual arrival of Major League Soccer in the city.
Crafted from 100% preshrunk heavy cotton, this comfortable shirt is ideal for showcasing your appreciation for the diverse history of American soccer. 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 soccer 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 United's games. The logo appears only on the front, leaving the back blank for a clean, classic appearance.
