Though little known today, the Los Angeles Red Devils were a unique, racially-integrated professional basketball team from the mid-1940s that featured numerous stars including Jackie Robinson, the former UCLA star who was that school’s first (and still only) four-sport varsity letterman—in football, baseball, basketball, and track.
After completing his spectacular rookie season with the Montreal Royals of baseball’s minor leagues, Robinson returned home to Pasadena in October 1946 to sign with the Red Devils. It was his first (and last) professional basketball contract.
They were originally organized as a speculative venture by a white sports promoter named Jack Duddy, who envisioned that his new team might join the National Basketball League (NBL), which at the time was considering the addition of a West Coast franchise.
Though they only played two seasons, the Red Devils were outstanding. Their lineup included forwards Jackie Robinson, Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame member George Crowe, and Pasadena City College standout Irv Noren, guards Everett “Ziggy” Marcelle, a Southern University grad and former Harlem Globetrotter, and U.S.C. All-American Eddie Oram, and Stanford star Art Stoefen at center.

"I love the design but it's noticeably smaller than my other medium Homage t-shirts. I can't say if it's a whole size smaller but it's definitely smaller than a true medium. For the pic, I put it on top of another medium t-shirt I purchased from Homage. It might not look like a huge difference in the pic, but it's enough to really change the fit. I like a more relaxed fit and I ended up with fitted."
"I really like the quality, softness, and designs of these shirts, but the sizing was a little hit or miss for me. I ordered three shirts in XXL, and two of them were more snug than expected while the third fit really nicely. So I would say they can run a little small depending on the shirt. If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, I’d consider sizing up. Still a great shirt overall, just wish the fit was a little more consistent."
"As a lifelong Knicks fan, this shirt is everything I could have wanted to celebrate the 2026 NBA Championship! The design has that classic HOMAGE vintage look and feel, and the shirt itself is incredibly soft and comfortable. It fits great, feels high quality, and is something I’ll proudly wear for years to come. After waiting so long to see the Knicks reach the top of the basketball world, having a championship shirt that looks this good makes the moment even more special. Absolutely love it — a must-have for any Knicks fan!"
"This shirt was worn to the three most important victories in USMNT history. Coincidence? I think not. Why not U. S. ?"
"I ordered this tshirt for Father's Day because my husband is a Grateful Dead fan and a Mets fan so I thought it was perfect. We saw a man wearing it in the stands at a game on t. v. The image is great but I wanted white"
"Love Homage - super soft! I usually buy a small in Homage 5’2 & 135 lbs but I’m 6 months pregnant and got a medium - fits perfectly over my growing bellly."
"Great shirt, very soft and shipping was great."
"I live in Colorado, but I have never been much of a football fan. That being said, while I was parusing the greatful dead shirts, I saw this design and the Coloradan in me couldn't refuse. Imo, this is the best NFLxGreatful Dead crossover shirt from the collection. I love Blucifer, and I love the overall style. The shirt is super soft, and the print texture feels perfect. It's not stiff and moves with the shirt, and the coloring feels baked into the fabric rather than pasted on top, if that makes sense. I am not worried AT ALL about flaking (which some other shirts from this brand have that issue, but not this one). I love this shirt so much, and I love to show it off. Again, not a football stan or anything, but this shirt is great all on its own!!!"
"I'm a very true size small a T-shirt fit me perfectly. The material is very soft. Very happy with the shirt."
"Last review said everything for both buzz shirt and gulls shirt. Great buy."
