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.

Reviews

Comfortable shirt screen printing suspect

"The shirts are comfortable and fit well the screen printing on the two Reds shirts doesn't feel like it will make more than a few washes."

Scott G. (4/5)

Great Shirt, just in time for the World Cup!!

"Snoopy is my obsession and soccer used to be my game. Great combo. Quality shirt, fits well."

Robert S. (5/5)

Love the T-shirt the graphics

"Love the T-shirt the graphics look even cooler than I expected. The material is very soft. Only complaint is it runs a bit slimmer than a lot of large t-shirts but now that I know that I'll know for next time although I wouldn't want the sleeves longer"

Heather S. (4/5)

Different Product Than Before?

"Not sure if they changed manufacturers but the recent four shirts I bought don't fit the same as they used to. Its a shame as Homage used to be the best tees."

Christopher T. (1/5)

"Not sure if they changed manufacturers but the recent four shirts I bought don't fit the same as they used to. Its a shame as Homage used to be the best tees."

Christopher T. (1/5)

Great graphics!

"Need to specify in the product description that the shirt color is Ash and not White as it appears in the small photograph on a cellphone. Very apparent when the shirt arrived, even mentioned Ash twice on the product label. Nice packaging and very prompt delivery. Love the Nolan Ryan graphic!"
