Get Rowdy for Tampa's Iconic Soccer Franchise!
This vintage-inspired tee celebrates the legendary Tampa Bay Rowdies, one of the most successful and influential teams from the wildly popular original North American Soccer League era of the 1970s. Though their heyday was nearly 50 years ago, the Rowdies' raucous spirit still kicks today.
The Rowdies took the pitch in 1975 as the NASL's Tampa expansion club. Playing their home matches at Tampa Stadium, the star-studded squad featuring English talents like Rodney Marsh and Derek Smethurst alongside American starslike goalkeeper Winston DuBose quickly cultivated one of the league's most fervent and aptly named fan bases.
Sporting their iconicgreen and yellow hooped uniforms with a distinctive sun ray-styled "Rowdies" wordmark, the talented team captivated the Gulf Coast with their high-energy, attacking style combined with an unapologetic swagger off the field. "Soccer hooliganism" arrived stateside thanks to the Rowdies faithful.
More than just entertainers, the Tampa Bay Rowdies tapped into the area's cultural dynamism and youthful exuberance in the 1970s. Their raucous game-day experiences - complete with wild promotions, pyrotechnics and a party-like atmosphere - united blue-collar locals and wealthy transplants from up north.
Though they went on hiatus after the NASL's demise in the 1980s, the Rowdies' green and yellow legions never died out. This retro tee featuring their infamous logo keeps that original raw energy alive. Made of a soft cotton blend, it's available in sizes S-5XL in classic colors like green, yellow, white and black. Whether you're a diehard Rowdies fan or simply appreciate ultra-bold retro vibes, this vintage soccer tee is an absolute must-have for any Florida sports wardrobe.
