New York Cosmos: Signed Football Shirts from a Forgotten Era
The New York Cosmos, founded in 1970, became an iconic soccer club in the U.S., notably for signing international stars like Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, and Giorgio Chinaglia. Their peak in the late 1970s saw them win multiple NASL titles and significantly contribute to soccer's growth in America. Despite their decline and the NASL's fold in 1985, the Cosmos' legacy persisted, leading to attempts at revival in the 2000s.
