The U.S. women's soccer team ignited a wave of interest in the sport when it notched victory in the 1999 World Cup, sparking a wild celebration of the field after Brandi Chastain scored on her fifth and final shot of a penalty kick shootout. The freeze-frame of Chastain ripping off her top shirt in joy is among the top sports highlights of recent memory. Fittingly, Chastain and 22 other members of the team signed this white Nike shorts, the same kind worn by the soccer team in the World Cup, with Chastain's right under the "V" neck. Other names include Mia Hamm, Brianna Scurry, Kristine Lilly, Michelle Akers, Cindy Parker, etc. The signatures are in black magic marker and rate near-perfect 10s. The shirt is unused, with the original tags attached, and is like new.
