Celebrate One of the NFL's Forgotten Franchises with This Vintage Tigers Tee
For collectors of obscure football nostalgia, this retro Rochester Tigers t-shirt is a piece of sports apparel you won't find anywhere else. It features the iconic orange and black logo from the Tigers' short but memorable run in the National Football League in the 1920s.
The Rochester Tigers joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1920 and played their home games at the pioneering Cyclecar Stadium. Though their time in the league was brief, lasting just four seasons until 1925, the Tigers captured the spirit of football fans in Western New York.
Led by star player Jack Voss, the Tigers captured their only NFL title in 1922, defeating the Canton Bulldogs in the championship game. Their blue-collar players and raucous fanbase quickly made the upstart franchise a fan favorite around the league.
Financial troubles and declining attendance forced the Tigers to suspend operations after the 1925 season. The team made ill-fated attempts to resume play over the next two years before officially folding and fading into gridiron obscurity.
While just a footnote in pro football's storied history, the underdog Tigers' battling spirit made them unlikely cult heroes for a time. This vintage logo tee pays homage to their unique place in the origins of the NFL.
Made from an ultra-comfortable cotton blend, this retro Tigers shirt comes in classic orange and black or other colors to match your style preferences. It's available in men's and women's sizes from S to 5XL with a distressed print for an authentically vintage look and feel.
