About Retro Baseball Revival

Retro Baseball Revival celebrates the forgotten clubs of American baseball's small-town era. From the early 1900s through the 1950s, professional baseball was played in thousands of towns across the country, in leagues like the Kitty League, the Sooner State League, and the Evangeline League. Most of those teams are long gone. Their stories deserve better.

Every design in our shop is grounded in real research on a real team. We dig through century-old newspaper archives, box scores, and game programs to get each club's story right, from naming contests to championship seasons to the Hall of Famers who passed through town on their way up. When you land on a team's page, you'll find that history written out, because the story is half the shirt.

Our designs are original artwork created in a mid-century style, honoring these teams the way their own program covers and pennants might have. We are not affiliated with any league or franchise, past or present. That independence is the point: these are the teams nobody licenses, remembered on purpose.

Everything is printed to order in the USA on quality garments built for both seasons, from lightweight tees to heavyweight fleece. Whether it's your hometown's old club or a team you just discovered, there's a piece of baseball's lost history here with your name on it.

About domestic ship times:

Apparel and Mugs: We are a print-on-demand shop, which means that we will create your products upon receiving your order. Due to this our standard shipping (free) on apparel is 6-10 business days within the continental United States via USPS. We are not able to offer express shipping at this time. 

About international ship times:

Apparel and Mugs: We are a print-on-demand shop, which means that we will create your products upon receiving your order. Due to this our standard shipping ($25 USD) on apparel is 10-30 business days and varies widely by country. This option does not come with door-to-door tracking. Please note that these international ship times are generalized and may vary by country.

What brands do you use and how is apparel printed?

Every item in our shop is made on demand, which means that we do not print any items until your order is placed. All items are printed and shipped from within the USA. The apparel that our designs are printed on comes from name brands such as Gildan and Bella + Canvas. You can find out more specifics about what garment an item will be printed on in the product description of that item or on our size chart. 

Will my item look exactly like the picture? 

If you order a shirt or hoodie, no, not exactly like the picture but darn close. Because we do not print any items until an order is made, the images on the website are digital mockups or examples of what the end product will look like. Printing may vary based on the complexity of the design and the specific garment that it is being printed on. We do our best to match the mockup. If you encounter any issues with your garment, please let us know and we'll do our best to help. 

How do items print on extended sizes?  

We are proud to offer many of our t-shirts and hoodies in sizes up to 5XL. The printing process and quality is the same as smaller sizes. However, on larger sizes the printed area does not increase, so the printed image on a 5XL will be the same size as on an XL.  

How do I know that what I order will fit me? 

You can use our size chart to get an idea of how a product will fit. If you receive your product and it doesn't fit quite right, you can exchange it for a different size or return it for a refund by contacting us. You only pay return shipping. 

Help! I made a mistake when I ordered. What should I do? 

If you order the wrong color or size, please notify us as soon as possible. We are more than happy to make changes for you, but orders usually go to print within a few hours of being received, so we have a very short window in which we can stop our printer and modify your order. Please be sure to check your order receipt that is emailed to you and let us know ASAP if something needs to be changed with your order.

What if I decide I don't want my item? 

If you are dissatisfied with your order or would simply like to make a return, please contact us as soon as possible using our contact page. We will do our best to make everything right! 

Return timeframes: Please contact us within 10 days of receiving your order to initiate a return. Returned items must be shipped back (postmarked) within 30 days of delivery to be eligible for a refund. (Extended Holiday returns - orders made between November 1st and December 31st can be returned/exchanged through February 28th)

Return costs: We will refund 100% of the original purchase price net of any discounts. Original shipping costs are non-refundable. Buyers are responsible for paying return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition (i.e. ripped, torn, otherwise damaged), the buyer is responsible for any loss in value. 

My order doesn't look right or was damaged during shipping. What do I do? 

Mistakes happen, and we make them from time to time. And sometimes packages get damaged in transit. If this happens to you, let us know and we will get a replacement order out to you as soon as possible at no charge. Please make sure to send us a picture of the damage, we can't process a new order without it. 

My shirt or hoodie has small stains on it. It's not a big deal but it's not ideal. What can you do? 

Sometimes there are stains on the apparel that are remnants of the printing process. These stains should disappear after the first wash. If they don't come out after a wash, let us know and we will work with you to exchange the item.
