Defunct New York Generals Baseball T-Shirt

The New York Generals were an American professional soccer team based out of New York City that competed in the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) in 1967 and the North American Soccer League (NASL) in 1968. Founded as charter members of the NPSL, the team played their home games at Yankee Stadium. Following the NPSL's merger with the United Soccer Association to form the NASL in 1968, the Generals became the sole professional soccer team in New York City. The Generals played one season in the NASL before folding after the 1968 season. The New York Cosmos, founded in 1970, would take the Generals' place as New York City's professional soccer team and shared both the Generals' colors and home stadium.
