EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print showcases a piece of history - a shirt worn by the iconic Harlem Globetrotters in the 1960s. Created by Wilson Sporting Goods Co, this red and blue shooting shirt is a true representation of the team's distinctive style. The front of the shirt features a vertical zipper that runs from the neck to the top of the chest, adding both functionality and flair to its design. The waist and sleeves are adorned with elastic featuring bold stripes in blue, yellow, red, and white. On the back of the shirt, yellow and red typography proudly displays "[ORIGINAL / HARLEM / GLOBETROTTERS]", emphasizing its authenticity as an original piece. A white tag with striking red and black type can be found on the inside collar, revealing its maker as Wilson Sporting Goods Co. , known for their high-quality sports equipment made in America. As we delve into African American history through this image, it serves as a reminder of how basketball transcended racial barriers during an era marked by segregation. This artifact represents not only sport but also cultural heritage - symbolizing resilience, talent, and unity within black communities. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this unique item stands testament to both individual achievements within sports and collective progress towards equality in America.
