The New York Apples: Two-Time Champions from the Empire State
As a charter franchise of the revolutionary World Team Tennis (WTT), the New York Apples (originally known as the New York Sets) became synonymous with the spectacle, pressure, and elite competition that transformed professional tennis in the mid-1970s. Dominating with back-to-back WTT Titles in 1976 and 1977, the team built a storied legacy anchored by tennis royalty. The franchise’s history is defined by the participation of legendary icons who proudly wore the Apples colors, including the incomparable Billie Jean King—the league’s co-founder and a cornerstone of the team’s success—as well as the Wimbledon champion Virginia Wade, celebrated male stars Sandy Mayer and Phil Dent, and the charismatic Vitas Gerulaitis. This hoodie serves as a spirited salute to that transformative era, offering a connection to the legends who solidified New York’s place in professional team tennis history.
