This t-shirt comes out of my experience with the "South Oxford Tennis Club". This was an athletic club and event space, and was operated from 1981 to 1997, in fort greene brooklyn. At the time, it was noted as the only black owned tennis club in new york city. It was a place where kids would take free tennis lessons, members competed in tournaments, they hosted fund-raisers, parties, fashion shows etc...I went to a fashion and new year's eve party, at this tennis club.
This classic unisex jersey short sleeve tee fits like a well-loved favorite. Soft cotton and quality print make users fall in love with it over and over again. These t-shirts have-ribbed knit collars to bolster shaping. The shoulders have taping for better fit over time. Dual side seams hold the garment's shape for longer.
