Brandi Chastain and her famous sports bra are no stranger to the press. She wore it when she won the 1999 World Cup. The game was close and she helped the United States win using a penalty kick. No one can forget that game nor her black sports bra she had on when she celebrated by shedding her shirt in happiness.
Unfortunately, every story has its ups and downs. That sports bra became famous and Brandi Chastain lent it to the Sports Museum of America so that sports lovers around the world could view it on display. But no one expected the New York museum to file bankruptcy this year and no one expected the feds to seize hundreds of items including loaned memorabilia.
But Chastain, being the trooper she is, fought the courts and got her bra back, right in time for the 10th year anniversary of the 1999 World Cup. The famous sports bra will be on display during the FC Gold Pride and St. Louis Athletica Game.
Most believe that the moment when Brandi got on her knees and shed her shirt to reveal that white sports bra, she created the most important moment in women's team sports history.
