Yes, I was looking for other Harlem, NY sportswear online, and somehow I ended up in http://www.universeonatshirt.com/girls-t-shirt.html, which is a site in Harlem, Amsterdam, in the Netherlands! That is not necessarily a bad thing to look at, although the shipping costs are probably astronomical. This is the Universe on a Tee-shirt site, and they do have some nice stuff.
A lot of the designs are on t-shirts and hoodies, but are a bit incomprehensible. For example, on a green hoodie, for Euro-69, you get a white streaked spread out bird, and some more splats of white paint. The feeder site for this site, Thrill List Nation , admits that they are inspired by the abstract painter, Mondrian. Their hoodie, with the little Mondrian color squares, is available there for $86.
On a more serious notes, as we approach black history month, we should think about Malcolm X, and how he freed the minds of a lot of people. He was assassinated, February 21, 1965, in the Audubon Ballroom in Upper Manhattan, by 165th St, and Broadway, just north of Harlem. By the way, part of the facade of the Audubon Ballroom has been preserved, even though the rest of the building and the site has been turned into a medical office or some other type of office.
