Donning vibrant red and blue uniforms emblazoned with their unique "NY Sets" logo, the star-powered team captivated crowds with their dynamic mix of athletic fireworks and prototypical 1970s Big Apple flash and audacity. Between sets, players entertained with impromptu dance routines and comedic banter.
More than just a successful franchise, the New York Sets personified the gritty glamour and trendsetting spirit of 1970s Manhattan culture. Their raucous Garden matches mixed genuine sports spectacle with celebrity panache, hedonistic club kid attitudes and a radical new brand of sports entertainment.
