USFL Logo T-Shirt
This United States Football League logo tee harkens back to the iconic spring football experiment of the mid-1980s. The USFL challenged the NFL for the best collegiate talent of the era and created a form of de facto free agency for NFL stars, helping to launch or revitalize the careers of stars such as Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Herschel Walker, Doug Flutie, Doug Williams and Sam Mills.
The classic-era logo was later revived with minimal alteration for the Made-For-Television USFL re-boot of 2022 and 2023.
This USFL design is available in a variety of colors and in sizes Small through 5XL from Royal Retros today!
