The New Orleans Sunbelt Nets: A NOLA Historic Tennis Legacy
The New Orleans Sun Belt Nets represented the final iteration of a charter World TeamTennis (WTT) franchise that originally debuted as the Cleveland Nets in 1974. In their 1978 season at the iconic Louisiana Superdome, the team brought an eclectic and highly talented international roster to the Gulf South. Their competitive lineup was led by player-coach and tennis veteran Marty Riessen, and featured a roster that included pioneering tennis star Dr. Renée Richards, prolific Australian doubles specialist Wendy Turnbull (fresh off her success at Wimbledon), Helen Gourlay-Cawley, Andrew Pattison, and the unique crossover talent John Lucas—an NBA star who famously excelled as a high-level collegiate tennis player. This hoodie serves as a spirited salute to that transformative, final season, offering fans a meaningful connection to the competitors who brought the pioneering WTT experience to New Orleans.
