Waterloo White Hawks T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight) - Vintage Defunct Baseball TeamsThe Waterloo White Hawks, based in Waterloo, Iowa, played in the Illinois Indiana Iowa League from 1940 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1956 as a Chicago White Sox affiliate, playing home games at Riverfront Stadium on the Cedar River.

The Waterloo White Hawks, based in Waterloo, Iowa, played in the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League from 1940 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1956 as a Chicago White Sox affiliate, playing home games at Riverfront Stadium on the Cedar River. The city had first entered the Three-I in 1910 with the Waterloo Boosters, gone without a team from 1912 through 1937, then returned as the Red Hawks in 1938. The White Hawks era that followed produced both the city's only Three-I championship and some of the finest young talent to pass through any Class B roster in the postwar decade.

The 1947 White Hawks won the Three-I League championship under manager Jack Onslow, drawing a club record 174,000 fans in the process. Onslow was promoted to manage the big-league White Sox the following year. In 1954 Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio played 94 games for the White Hawks at shortstop, batting .282 and making the Three-I All-Star second team despite a hernia-shortened season. His teammate that year, catcher Earl Battey, won the Three-I Rookie of the Year award and later caught for the 1965 American League champion Minnesota Twins. The 1955 White Hawks featured Norm Cash, who won the 1961 AL batting title with a .361 average for the Detroit Tigers; Barry Latman, who went 13-5 as a 1961 AL All-Star for Cleveland; and manager Willard Marshall, himself a two-time National League All-Star who had hit 36 home runs for the New York Giants in 1947.

The White Sox ended their Waterloo working agreement after the 1956 season. The White Hawks identity ended with it. Waterloo returned to professional baseball in 1958 under a different name and affiliation, and the city hosts the collegiate-level Waterloo Bucks of the Northwoods League today.

Just what I wanted.
Color: Black, Navy Blue, Wine Red, Size: 5X-Large
These may have just become my standard shirt to wear. Feels good whether tucked or out. Drapes well and fits well. So far, I can see it adjust to the different undershirt I may wear. Will probably order another set in other colors and a back up set of the basics because they will get worn a lot.

Its alright
Color: Black, Size: 5X-Large
True to size per the size chart. The fabric is soft but it it feels cheap to me. It attracts lint but you can brush it off easily so its not the cheapest material I've dealt with. Also, it is opaque (not see through). There is no front/ back indicator either which is indicative of a cheap shirt in my opinion. Would be friendly for tag sensitive people (to stay positive).

Disappointed
Shirts arrived quickly. However, you get what you pay for, quality was disappointing-material very thin, wrinkly and too long. Ordered the small and it was too big.
