PUMA and the Black Fives Foundation
The Black Fives Foundation’s mission is to
research, preserve, showcase, teach, and honor the pre-NBA history of African
Americans in basketball. This collection celebrates the way the teams of the
Black Fives Era expanded their reach beyond the neighborhoods where they began
into cities and towns throughout the United States. Teams would travel the
country playing extensive schedules, adhering to strict business models, while
navigating racist Jim Crow restrictions on everything from public
transportation to restaurants to lodging, even before arriving in tense,
unfamiliar, potentially volatile arenas, armories, ballrooms, and gymnasiums
far from home. Yet these squads most often won those games, left town safely,
and were invited back. Their journeys played an instrumental role in
popularizing the game while providing essential cultural inspiration to Black
communities across America. This collection showcases these experiences with
historical graphics and authentic logos maintained by the Foundation on designs
featuring vintage-inspired fabrications.

I only ship to eBay-confirmed U.S. addresses.
International shipping will be considered on a case-by-case basis and must be
approved prior to bidding or purchase. I
will gladly combine shipping for items paid on one invoice. Please
don’t rely on eBay’s anticipated delivery dates as fact – they are often overly
aggressive.
Payment promptly upon purchase, please. I don’t
offer a layaway plan. Wal-Mart does, fyi, if that’s what you’re
interested in. If no contact is made shortly after purchase I
reserve the right to re-list the item without further notice to the
original buyer.
I don’t offer refunds as a result of the failure to
thoroughly confirm all relevant measurements. If in
doubt, please request additional measurements. I will pack your
item carefully and, of course, get delivery confirmation so we can both track
it. Please make sure your eBay shipping address is correct. I will
happily offer a refund for dissatisfaction due to an unintentional listing
error, omission or misrepresentation.
Refunds offered only after first contacting me (via e-mail) within 14
calendar days of receipt stating reason for dissatisfaction. For the
avoidance of doubt, any returned item must be in the same condition as shipped
and unworn, with all tags attached if sold NWT. Buyer pays return
shipping.
Please note that the color of the item in the picture may
not perfectly match the actual color of the item, as computer and mobile device
settings may vary somewhat. Whenever
possible or known, I use the manufacturer’s color for reference. If in doubt and if possible, please visit
the manufacturer’s website for a professional image of the color in question. If none is available, please message me and I
will do my best to describe the color as accurately as possible.
Please leave feedback after receiving your item.
If you have any questions or concerns about your item please contact me asap
after receipt, I will do everything I reasonably can to make sure you’re a very
satisfied buyer.
