The Duluth Whalebacks made their mark in 1891 as members of the Western Association, drawing their name from the unique iron ore ships that sailed Lake Superior. Representing the industrial might and maritime pride of northern Minnesota, the Whalebacks brought hard-nosed baseball to the Great Lakes during one of the sport’s earliest professional eras. This design is part of our old school retro baseball collection inspired by the vintage and now defunct Minor League Baseball teams of yesteryear. Printed on our super soft ring-spun & combed cotton unisex T-Shirt. Or upgrade to our Luxury vintage heather colors (cotton/poly blend) for an even softer, more durable, classic look. Which colors are luxury? Any color with the word "heather" in its name. We print & ship all of our high quality graphic tees in the USA.
