The original New York Football Giants played
soccer - and had major impact on the US
game. In 1894, six National League base-
ball teams organized the first pro soccer
league in the country. Their ALPF didn’t
survive through the winter, but it was the
first time the Giants played football
in NYC. In 1923, the US Open Cup
champ Paterson Silk Sox moved
across the Hudson to become the
next Giants football team - two
years before their NFL cousins. In
1928,more than 40,000 packed the
Polo Grounds to see the Giants face
Austrian superclub Vienna Hakoah,
setting an attendence record for
a US soccer match that endured
until the Cosmos broke it in 1977.retro soccer shirt,US soccer shirt,vintage soccer shirt,baby soccer shirts,ladies soccer shirts, retro soccer shirts,retro football shirts,american soccer,classic soccer shirts,old soccer teams,US club soccer,classic football shirts,soccer gifts,gifts for soccer fans,soccer history,USA soccer history,vintage football shirts, retro soccer shirts,retro soccer shirts, vintage football shirts, american soccer shirts,NASL shirts,ASL shirts,classic soccer shirts,classic soccer jerseys,american soccer jerseys,US soccer shirts,Hakoah,Pothunters,Pothunting,Pot Hunting,Pot Hunters,US Soccer jerseys,soccer shirts,camisas de futbal,camisa de soccer,football jumpers,USA soccer,soccer tshirts,soccer t-shirts,football t shirt,soccer ts,United States Soccer,Joe Gaetjens,Bert Patenaude,Archie Stark,futbal shirts,calcio shirt,ASL shirt,NASL shirt,MLS,Major League Soccer shirt,Cosmos shirt,New York Cosmos,Seattle Sounders,Portland Timbers,US Open Cup,US Soccer,soccer store,world cup shirts,unique soccer gifts,soccer jersey,soccer jerseys,world cup shirts,world soccer shirts,soccer team shirts,football shirts,cool soccer shirts,funny soccer shirts,kids soccer shirts,youth soccer shirts,LA Aztecs,Chicago Cats,Fall River Marksmen,philadelphia atoms,paterson silk sox,atlanta chiefs,california sunshine,pullman fc,new york brookhattan,brookhattan,new jersey brewers,utah copper,brooklyn hakoah,bethlehem steel,ben millers,FIFA,golden gate gales,philadelphia spartans,boston minutemen,new york skyliners
