Celebrate a unique piece of American soccer history with our Connecticut Bicentennials Logo Soccer Team T-shirt. This vintage-inspired tee pays homage to a team that briefly but memorably represented the Constitution State in the nation's early attempts at professional soccer.
The Connecticut Bicentennials, fittingly established in 1975 to coincide with the United States Bicentennial celebrations, were part of the North American Soccer League (NASL). For two seasons, the Bicentennials brought the excitement of professional soccer to Connecticut, playing their home games at Yale Bowl in New Haven. The team's name and formation reflected the patriotic fervor of the era, making them a distinctive part of both soccer and American cultural history.
Despite their short-lived existence, ending after the 1977 season, the Bicentennials played a significant role in introducing professional soccer to Connecticut and contributed to the growing popularity of the sport in the United States during the 1970s. Their brief run coincided with a pivotal time in American soccer, when international stars were beginning to join NASL teams and raise the profile of the sport nationwide.
Our high-quality t-shirt keeps the spirit of the Connecticut Bicentennials alive with its nostalgic design. The logo, featured prominently on the front, boasts a distressed, cracked appearance that gives it an authentic, weathered look – as if it's been a cherished part of your collection since the team's playing days.
Crafted from 100% preshrunk heavy cotton, this Gildan 5000 tee offers both comfort and durability for long-lasting wear. The classic unisex fit suits all body types, while the tear-away label ensures a smooth, itch-free experience. Available in sizes ranging from S to 5XL and in various popular colors, there's a perfect option for every soccer fan or sports history enthusiast.
The shirt's back is intentionally left blank, allowing the unique front design to take center stage. Whether you're headed to a soccer match, a casual outing, or just relaxing at home, this tee is sure to spark conversations about Connecticut's soccer history and the early days of professional soccer in America.
