Dyersburg Forked Deers T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight) - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams

The Dyersburg Forked Deers or Dyersburg Deers hailed from Dyersburg, TN, and played baseball from 1923-25. Their name was derived from the Forked Deer River System located in west Tennessee. 

The Deers split their time between two leagues. They were initially in the KITTY League (Kentucky - Indiana - Tennessee) in 1923 and 1924, winning the league both seasons. In 1923, they defeated the Mayfield Pantsmakers for the playoff title, and then knocked out the Paris Parisians in 1924. When the KITTY League folded, the Deers joined the Tri-State League for the 1925 season and went an impressive 59-46 record, but no titles. The team would not return for 1926. 

Retro Baseball Revival celebrates historic baseball teams with unique apparel, honoring their legacy and bringing history to one-of-a-kind clothing with our old school retro baseball tees from defunct Minor League Baseball teams. All of our high quality apparel is designed, printed, and shipped within the USA. Our KITTY League collection features 100% original designs based on the history and nicknames of the league's historic teams. 

Our premium lightweight shirts are the hugely popular Bella+Canvas brand 3001 tees. They are much lighter and thinner feeling than a traditional heavyweight tee. They also are more form fitting and feel more snug. These are generally 90% to 100% cotton, although please note that heather colors in this item are 52% cotton.
