Hybrid Vintage Russell Athletic Gold-Tag Tee-USA Blank + Tru Vintage Volleyball Transfer (Small)

A hybrid vintage creation built from two authentic components: a 1970s Russell Athletic gold‑tag USA‑made blank paired with a true vintage iron‑on transfer from the same athletic era. The transfer has been freshly applied using a period‑correct heat‑press workflow, creating a one‑of‑a‑kind piece that blends archival materials with a clean modern application.

The blank is a classic 70s Russell cotton/poly blend with the gold neck tag, ribbed collar, and shoulder striping in white and yellow. The volleyball graphic — layered text with a silhouetted player at the net — is an original vintage transfer, not a reproduction, preserving the look and feel of late‑70s/early‑80s sports graphics.

This hybrid tee is part of the Rocking It Old Skool Hybrid Series, where authentic vintage blanks and authentic vintage transfers are combined to create unique, one-of-a-kind era‑correct pieces, made from genuine archival components.
