Disappointed
"This was a replacement shirt as my previous one was getting too small. The quality of the shirt is excellent. It’s the design I’m unhappy with. Feels like sandpaper and pieces of it flecked off with the first wash."

The Vandal Athletic Club was formed in Atlantic City in the early 1910s. They assembled a basketball team that was top rate and became known simply as the Vandals. They played their home games in a wire cage at Fitzgerald Auditorium in the seaside resort.
Cages were the norm in New Jersey basketball and they favored tough, physical teams like the Vandals. because they required quite a different and often more challenging style of play than on the open floor.
The Vandals were one of the best Black Fives in the East during World War I, even though their star player and team captain, Mike Briscoe, was drafted into military duty in 1918.
Their strongest season may have been in 1916-17 when the Vandals won sixteen straight games and played for the Eastern Colored Basketball title against strong forward Paul Robeson and his heavily favored St. Christopher Club of Harlem. The Vandals would have won the game if leading scorer Bill Howard hadn’t split his kneecap just before the championship game.
The athletic club itself was comprised of an unusually cohesive group of athletes who prided themselves on their hard work and sportsmanship. “They are clean, both morally and physically,” one supporter claimed. “The nucleus of this great association lies in their brotherly feeling toward one another.”

Great experience
"Ordered shirts for the first time for my husband for Father’s Day. He loved the shirts but unfortunately they were too small. Contacted customer service and opted for the return exchange and received the replacement shorts in a few days. Easy peasy, will use this shop again"
Unisex Sizing?
"I'm a big guy. Unisex sizing is the bane of my existence. It looks good. Is soft. Just tight for the size. I'm sure there are a fair amount of muscle clad, 6'4 2x guys out there, but I'd venture the majority of us like extra pieces of cake, and well, the shirt runs small. Tight in the shoulders, and only is breathable because the fabric has give. See above comment about being soft. The sweatshirt I ordered runs true to size, which is nice. The tshirt, I will have to hold off on wearing."
First Order
"I, or the system, originally ordered an XS, which won’t work for me as I’m 6’2”. I emailed customer service and they were very receptive, changing my order to the correct size before it shipped. Shirt is soft and true to size."
Great fit, comfortable, classic look
"Loved the fit, comfort and style of this shirt. The throwback look always appeals to me and this was a high quality shirt and one of the most comfortable Ts I own now."
Awesome Bengals shirt
"I just received this Bengals shirt snd it is incredibly soft and a great looking logo. This will be a great gameday shirt!"
Great shirts that get lots of compliments
"I've purchased nearly all of the Snoopy at National Parks series and everybody loves them. Good quality shirts that fit well and look great and really complement my growing (at my wife's dismay) Peanuts shirt collection."
Super cool Grateful Dead inspired Knicks t-shirt
"Awesome soft t-shirt. The design is getting attention from others! Would highly recommend for purchase!"
New print?
"The cotton is still the quality that it has been. But the print on the shirt seems cheaper now than the past. Just makes us feel like a cheaper product now. Love the styles and fit, just the print is a knock now."
