1992 Atlanta Knights Tee
Regular price $32.00The Story
The Atlanta Knights were a minor league hockey franchise that played at the Omni Coliseum from 1992 through 1996. The arrival of the Knights marked the return of pro hockey to Atlanta for the first time since 1980, when the NHL’s Atlanta Flames departed for Calgary. The Knights served as the top farm club to the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning, who also entered their inaugural season in the fall of 1992. Atlanta had some interesting rosters, thanks to the stunt casting undertaken by Lightning President & GM Phil Esposito who stocked Tampa’s roster with an apparent eye towards selling tickets. Esposito expended a 3rd round draft pick on Wayne Gretzky’s younger brother Brent, who would spend most of the next three seasons toiling with the Knights.

1974 Atlanta Chiefs Tee
Regular price $32.00The Story
The Atlanta Chiefs played at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium from 1967 to 1973 before eventually folding in 1973. Even though the Atlanta Chiefs were a strong team in the 1973 season, it wasn't enough to keep the red and white in Atlanta. With players like Barry Lynch & Art Welch donning the red and white in Atlanta, the Atlanta Chiefs should have been able to fill seats. The reality however was much different and with low attendance, the Atlanta Chiefs soon folded and became no more.
