New York Black Yankees Embroidered ‘NY’ Long Sleeve Pocket Tee

A LONG SLEEVE TEE WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK YANKEES LOGO

History: Originally named the Harlem Stars, the New York Black Yankees were founded in the summer of 1932. They spent their first years barnstorming across the country, sometimes playing doubleheaders in different states on successive days. They officially joined the Negro National League in 1936, where they played until their final season in 1948. In the 40s, they played home games at Yankee Stadium when the American League Yankees were on the road, but they also played home games in Paterson, NJ, and in 1948 they played home games upstate in Rochester, NY. 

Hall of Famer Satchel Paige had a stint with the Black Yankees, and other notable players from the team include “Fats” Jenkins, Ted “Double Duty” Radcliffe, “Mule” Suttles, and others.

Made with medium-weight 200gsm cotton, this tee is designed to be a wardrobe staple. Ideal for wearing on or off the field, rep the historic squad wherever life takes you. The shirt features a chest pocket and is finished with an embroidered “NY” logo on the chest and “Black Yankees” on the back neck.

In partnership with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), we are proud to offer this cotton tee. A portion of proceeds from this product will support the NLBM in Kansas City. For more information about the museum, visit www.nlbm
