The San Jose Lasers emerged as part of the groundbreaking American Basketball League in 1996, bringing professional women's basketball to the South Bay. Despite initially drawing enthusiastic crowds with their talented roster including Olympic medalists and their competitive style of play, the team struggled amid the financial challenges facing the entire league. By 1998, competition from the WNBA and insufficient financial backing led to the collapse of the ABL midseason, ending the Lasers' brief but significant contribution to women's sports history in California.
Available in sizes S-5XL in a wide variety of popular colors. The vintage logo appears on the front only, with a clean, blank back.
