New York 1939 World's Fair Short Sleeve Graphic Tee

Description

A T-SHIRT CELEBRATING THE GREAT BAMBINO AND THE 1939 WORLD’S FAIR History : The 1939 World’s Fair was held in Queens, New York, in what is now Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Titled “The World of Tomorrow,” the exhibition was built around imagining a brighter future, and saw over 45 million visitors over its two-year existence. Yankees slugger Babe Ruth, whose legacy had only grown since his retirement in ‘35, helped promote the event by appearing in parades and offering batting lessons to kids at the fair’s “Academy of Sport.” During many of these events, he wore a custom-made New York jersey featuring the 1939 World Fair logo on the sleeve and their orange-and-blue color scheme in the lettering. This t-shirt, made with medium-weight 200gsm cotton and screen-printed designs, features the Bambino’s #3 on the front and a back graphic inspired by the illustration from a souvenir matchbook for the ‘39 World’s Fair.
