Journey back to the golden age of regional basketball with this vintage-inspired Long Island Surf t-shirt commemorating their run in the United States Basketball League from 1991-2001. This nostalgic piece celebrates one of Long Island's most enduring minor league basketball franchises that entertained fans throughout the 1990s.
The Surf made waves in Long Island basketball history, playing their home games at various venues including Suffolk Community College and Farmingdale State College. The team enjoyed a decade-long stint in the USBL, providing summer basketball entertainment and a platform for players hoping to make it to the NBA. Despite maintaining operations through the 90s boom years of basketball, the team ultimately folded in 2001 as the USBL began to contract, marking the end of professional basketball on Long Island for that era.
Features a weathered, authentically distressed logo print on the front, capturing the worn character of vintage sportswear. The blank back keeps the focus on the classic design, perfect for casual wear or showing off your knowledge of obscure sports history.
