Logo T-Shirt
World Team Tennis has been around in one form or another for nearly fifty years now, but this chill logo tee from our partners at Old School Shirts pays tribute to the original league and its mid-70’s glory days when Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Bjorn Borg and Ilie Nastase suited up for their WTT clubs in between Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows.
Also available in women’s scoop neck and women’s racerback tank styles!

Background
Long-running franchise in the co-ed summer World TeamTennis league. The New Jersey Stars won the league championship during their final two seasons of play.
Martina Navratilova was the team’s top attraction during the 1994 championship campaign. The Czech superstar moonlighted in TeamTennis habitually throughout her career, starting soon after her defection to the United States in 1975.
