St. Louis Steamers
Chest Stripe Logo T-Shirt

This eye-catching design recaptures the glory days of indoor soccer in St. Louis in the early 80’s, when Slobo Ilijevski, Don Ebert, Ricky Davis and the rest of the Steamers routinely packed 15,000 a night in at the Checkerdome for Major Indoor Soccer League action!
This chest stripe design is also available as a Hooded or Crewneck Sweatshirt and as a Women’s V-Beck from our friends at Old School Shirts!
