Chicago Illinois Express World Basketball League 1988 T-shirt

Relive a pioneering chapter of Illinois basketball history with our Chicago Express T-shirt, celebrating their 1988 season in the innovative World Basketball League. The Express brought a unique basketball concept to the UIC Pavilion, playing in a league that famously restricted players to 6'5" and under, creating a fast-paced, high-scoring style of play. Despite featuring talented players and an exciting brand of basketball, the team lasted just one season in the experimental league. The Express folded after their inaugural year due to limited attendance and financial challenges, despite playing in one of America's premier basketball cities.This premium quality shirt lets you own a piece of basketball history while enjoying modern comfort:Product Features:• Premium Gildan 5000 heavyweight cotton (5.3 oz)• 100% preshrunk cotton for reliable fit• Classic unisex cut suitable for all body types• Tear-away label for maximum comfort• Front-only team logo print• Direct-to-garment printing fo
