Celebrate a fascinating chapter in basketball history with our exclusive Texas Chaparrals American Basketball Association 1970-1971 T-shirt!
This premium collectible tee features the iconic Texas Chaparrals logo with a distinctive distressed, cracked, vintage finish that gives it authentic character and nostalgic appeal. Printed on a high-quality Gildan 5000 blank, this shirt delivers exceptional comfort and durability.
Originally embraced by passionate fans during the team's memorable season in the American Basketball Association, this shirt quickly gained popularity as the Chaparrals established themselves as a competitive force in professional basketball. The remarkable era captured on this shirt represents a unique period in basketball history when the Dallas franchise adopted the "Texas" moniker and attempted to build a regional following by playing games in Fort Worth at the Tarrant County Coliseum and in Lubbock at the Municipal Coliseum. This was a pivotal season for the franchise that would later become the San Antonio Spurs, with the team making its fourth straight playoff appearance after winning a tiebreaker game against the Denver Rockets.
Now a genuine collector's item following the team's subsequent return to the Dallas name and eventual relocation to San Antonio, this shirt commemorates an intriguing chapter in basketball history featuring the franchise that was originally named after the Chaparral Club in the Sheraton Dallas Hotel where the founding owners had their organizational meeting.
