This classic tee features the team's iconic 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 fan-favorite minor league franchise.
The New Britain Rock Cats were a minor league baseball team that played in the Eastern League from 1983 to 2015. Originally known as the New Britain Red Sox, they became the Rock Cats in 1995. The team served as the Double-A affiliate for several major league organizations, including the Minnesota Twins and Colorado Rockies. Known for their family-friendly atmosphere and for nurturing future MLB talent, the Rock Cats were a staple of New Britain's sports scene for over three decades.
The team's popularity extended beyond New Britain, drawing fans from across Connecticut. Despite their success and loyal fanbase, the franchise relocated to Hartford in 2016, becoming the Hartford Yard Goats. This move marked the end of an era for New Britain baseball fans, but the Rock Cats' legacy lives on in the memories of those who cheered them on at New Britain Stadium.
Crafted from 100% preshrunk heavy cotton, this comfortable shirt is perfect for showcasing your appreciation for Connecticut's baseball heritage. The standard unisex fit ensures a flattering look for all body types, while the tear-away label adds to the comfort.

Printed on high-quality Gildan 5000 fabric weighing 5.3 oz, this durable shirt is built to last through countless innings and washing cycles. The logo appears only on the front, leaving the back blank for a clean, classic look.
