Vintage Louisville Slugger Graphic T-Shirt

This is a white, short-sleeved, crew-neck t-shirt, likely made of cotton or a cotton blend fabric, based on its drape and typical construction for t-shirts. The shirt appears to be adult-sized, possibly a medium or large, given its visual dimensions laid flat. The most prominent feature is a graphic print centered on the upper chest area. The graphic depicts two crossed baseball bats in a reddish-brown color, forming an 'X' behind a circular emblem. Within the circle, which has a white background with a red border, there's a baseball showing its red stitching, and above it, the text 'H B' in dark blue or black. Below the baseball, the word 'Louisville Slugger' is written in a stylized font, also in dark blue or black. Small, five-pointed gold or yellow stars are scattered around the graphic's perimeter, adding to its design. The colors of the print are vibrant with good saturation, showing minimal to no fading. The fabric itself is somewhat wrinkled, indicative of storage or recent washing, but does not show obvious tears, holes, or major stains from the image provided. There is a slight off-white or yellowish tinge visible in some areas, which could be light staining, discoloration from age, or simply the lighting conditions of the photograph. The overall condition appears good for a vintage garment, suggesting it has been reasonably well-preserved. There are no visible maker's marks on the collar label in this image, but the 'Louisville Slugger' branding clearly indicates its association with the iconic baseball bat manufacturer. This style of graphic tee was popular from the late 20th century to early 2000s, placing its estimated age in that range. The craftsmanship seems standard for a mass-produced t-shirt of that era.
