Longhorn League Collection

Where West Texas baseball history lives again.

The Longhorn League Collection from The Craftsman’s Works brings back one of the most rugged, passionate, and overlooked eras in Texas baseball history. Active from 1947 to 1955, the Longhorn League featured independent clubs across West Texas—teams fueled by small-town pride, unforgiving heat, and a brand of baseball as tough as the landscapes they played in. This collection revives those teams and their stories through premium, vintage-inspired apparel designed for today’s fans, collectors, and baseball traditionalists.

Every shirt in the Longhorn League Collection—featuring clubs like the Big Springs Broncs, Ballinger Cats, San Angelo Colts, Midland Indians, and more—captures the feel of classic minor-league ball: bold lettering, nostalgic color palettes, and clean, heritage-driven graphics that honor the independent teams that shaped Texas baseball culture.

As a core part of the Defunct Baseball Leagues Collection, the Longhorn League line highlights a forgotten chapter of America’s pastime.
