Relive the brief but passionate era of Washington volleyball with this authentic Seattle Smashers 1978-1979 commemorative t-shirt. This rare collectible celebrates the short-lived professional volleyball team that captured the hearts of Pacific Northwest sports fans during their single explosive season.
The Seattle Smashers burst onto the professional volleyball scene in late 1978 as part of the ambitious International Volleyball Association expansion. Initially drawing impressive crowds to the Seattle Center Coliseum, the team quickly developed a devoted following thanks to their high-energy playing style and community outreach. Despite strong initial ticket sales and local media coverage, the Smashers fell victim to the financial troubles that plagued the entire league, leading to both the team and the association folding before the 1980 season.
This premium shirt features the iconic Smashers logo with an authentically distressed, vintage feel that captures the weathered charm of the era. The design appears only on the front, leaving the back clean and classic.
