Wow, that's in good shape! The color has faded on mine and it's beginning to get those little holes . . . but I've got a dozen more UConn shirts.
I still have a sweatshirt from the 1988 NIT championship. Younger fans will not understand what a big deal that was back in the day.

I still have my 1999 National Championship gear but don't really wear it any more. I got tired of listening to my wife asking me why I'm wearing a 20+ year old shirt.

I do not have the heart to throw this out. It’s been sitting in a file cabinet at work forever. Obviously I have not worn it for many years. 1990 was my senior year and I was in the student section for all 7 post season games that year…

I thought you'd both be fatter. Well done!
I have a few treasures like that. UConn and Yankees. I retired them and then vacuum sealed them. No clue if that helps preserve them but a nice surprise for whichever relatives have to clear my house out when I kick it.

The shirt in the upper left I actually found the week after the F4 at a sporting goods place at a mall in the Scranton PA area as I was traveling for work.

OP: i believe that was back when Starter was still around. they always tried harder to come up with interesting designs. not like that Nike crap (No. 1). no originality.
i still have my 99 tee but it's all faded now and starting to get a little ratty. the hat (brown and black) i just wore today to work. i remember i couldn't get it right away after the Duke game because they were so popular. i was able to get one eventually though sometime in May when Bob's Stores still had about 8 left from their latest (and probably last) shipment. i was ecstatic i was finally able to get one.

My 1999 championship shirt got thrown out just because it had a few little tiny small holes in it and was faded and did not fit me anymore but other than that it was still fantastic.

Was at that game when we beat Ohio State for the championship. They let the crowd onto the floor after the game at the Garden. We've already lost Cliff Robinson, Jeff King and Spider Ursery from that team.
Very cool

I had to get the reissue of that last year. My original had completely fallen apart. That one looks in great shape!

Yes, that was it. I have a lot of VCR tapes of games including the NIT Championship, but my machine has long since given up the ghost. I've been thinking of getting them all digitized, but it isn't cheap. I have the 1999 championship with all of the pre- and post-game coverage, too.

I'm pretty sure: Tate George, Phil Gamble, Lyman, Cliff & Jeff King
Wasn't sure on Lyman then remembered his dunk at start of Ohio State game!

I kept my same 1999 T, and it would probably fit you, but not me.
