Experience a piece of tennis history with this authentic New Orleans Nets World Team Tennis t-shirt from their 1978 season. The Nets were part of the innovative World Team Tennis league, which brought a unique co-ed team format to professional tennis. Playing their home matches at the Municipal Auditorium, the team featured exciting mixed doubles matches and fast-paced tennis action. Despite initial enthusiasm and the novelty of the team format, financial challenges and the complex landscape of professional tennis in the late 1970s led to the team's departure after just one season.
The vintage-style logo features an intentionally distressed, cracked effect that gives it the perfect worn-in look of a shirt that could have been there during the Nets' brief but exciting run. The design is printed on the front only, keeping it clean and classic.
Made with premium Gildan 5000 heavyweight cotton (5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk), this shirt offers the perfect blend of comfort and durability. The tear-away label and classic unisex fit ensure comfort for all-day wear. Using state-of-the-art direct-to-garment printing, the design maintains its vintage appeal while providing excellent color accuracy and wash-fastness.
Available in sizes S-5XL in a variety of popular colors, this shirt is perfect for tennis history buffs, New Orleans sports fans, or anyone who appreciates the unique era of World Team Tennis innovation in the 1970s.
