New York Stars Vintage Logo Shirt - Retro Defunct Football Shirt

The New York Stars were the World Football League's attempt to crack the biggest sports market in America and take on the NFL's Giants and Jets. Playing at Downing Stadium on Randall's Island in 1974, the Stars fielded a competitive team that went 8-5 before financial pressures forced the franchise to relocate to Charlotte midway through the season, where they became the Hornets under new owner Upton Bell — son of the late NFL commissioner Bert Bell. Before the move, the Stars gave New York fans a legitimate professional football alternative, with games played under the lights on summer Wednesday evenings. The WFL's ambitious vision of placing teams in major NFL markets was always going to be a tough sell, and the Stars' struggles to draw fans at aging Downing Stadium proved that even the greatest city in the world couldn't support three professional football teams. The Stars remain a fascinating footnote in New York sports history. For WFL historians and New York City football fans, this distressed vintage logo tee celebrates the brief era when the WFL tried to conquer the Big Apple. Celebrate New York football heritage with this retro, vintage-styled shirt.
