The Story

As with most teams in the ABA, the Squires began life as another team, first as the Oakland Oaks and then the Washington Caps upon the franchise's move to DC. They became the Squires the following year (1970-71 season) after yet another move to Roanoke, VA after being pushed out of town by the Baltimore Bullets who wanted to move their NBA franchise to Washington and of course be the only game in town.

The 1972–73 season marked the beginning of the Virginia Squires downturn. Although blessed with a combination of Julius Erving ("Dr. J") and a young George Gervin, the duo only played together late in the season and during the summer of 1973, Dr. J was sold to the New York Nets for cash. Soon, the Squires' attendance fell through the floor and never recovered, folding just after the 1975-76 season.

The Story

The Kentucky Colonels were a member of the ABA for the league's total nine seasons. Despite having the league's all-time best winning percentage (winning the ABA championship in 1975) and one of the league's best fan bases, the Colonels were not one of the teams chosen to join the NBA and they were forced to fold in 1976.

The Story

During the 1977 season, sitting in fifth place and with the Chiefs' future uncertain due to the closing of the mill in Charlestown, Player/Coach Reggie Dunlop vowed to do whatever it takes to start winning so someone would buy the team. Under his direction and with a trio of goons brought in from the Iron League, the Chiefs fought (literally) their way to the top, winning the Federal League Championship, and solidifying Dunlop's place among hockey player/coach legends.

The Story

The San Diego Conquistadors (the "Q's" to their loyal fans and sportswriters) were an ABA rarity: an ABA expansion team. Their players for their first season (1972-73) were unprotected players taken from other ABA teams in a special expansion draft. Given the talent available in this pool, one national basketball publication predicted that in their first season, the Conquistadors would be "the worst team in organized professional basketball history. They turned out to be not so bad, but nevertheless lasted only a few seasons, folding in 1975.

The Story

The New York Cosmos played at Downing Stadium from 1970 to 1985 before eventually folding in 1985. Even though the New York Cosmos were a strong team, it wasn't enough to keep the green and yellow in New York. With players like Pele & Bronislaw Sularz donning the green and yellow in New York, the New York Cosmos should have been able to fill seats. The reality however what much different and with low attendance, the New York Cosmos soon folded and became no more.

The Story

The Minnesota Fighting Saints were one of the World Hockey Association's (WHA) original 12 teams, beginning play in 1973. The Saints never missed the playoffs nor had a losing record and the team always drew more fans than the WHA average. On a few occasions, they even drew more attendance than their NHL rivals, the North Stars.

The Saints were one of the first pro hockey teams to boast a mostly American roster, favoring Minnesota-born players specifically. The team also had several ties to the movie Slap Shot, as controversial forward Bill 'Goldie' Goldthorpe, who was the inspiration for Ogie Ogilthorpe in the movie and Jack Carlson, who along with his brothers were the inspiration for the Hanson Brothers, both played for the Saints. Also, current veteran NHL coach Bruce Boudreau, who made an appearance as a player in Slap Shot, made his professional debut with the Saints, playing 30 games in the 1975-76 season.

Despite their on-ice success, the Saints were unable to secure a lucrative TV deal and eventually succumbed to financial woes and folded mid-season in 1976.

The Sting seemed to improve each season until, in 1981, they won the NASL Championship, bringing the Windy City their first professional sports championship since the '63 Bears.

However the good times did not last, and the team dissolved after the 1987-88 season citing financial difficulties.

When the ABA and NBA merged in 1976 the Spurs were just 1 of 6 teams welcomes into the league and the legend of the Dallas Chaparrals was retired to the rafters of Basketballs past glory.

The Story

We're channeling the spirit of '76...1976 that is. These shorts are based on the sweaters of the long forgotten U.S. hockey team that competed in the inaugural Canada Cup tournament of 1976. After USA failed to make the medal round and finished in second-to-last place, the team quickly faded to an insignificant memory in U.S. hockey history as was common with America's sub par teams between 1960 and 1980. Perhaps due to USA's failure in the tournament, this unique and (in our humble opinion) beautiful eagle crest uniform was unfortunately never used again.

Made from quick-dry poly microfiber material that become more comfortable with every wash, our shorts are built to be the most versatile and comfortable item in your wardrobe. From the beach to the bar to the court to the couch, these bad boys are at home anywhere, and with their mesh pockets, you always have a place to keep your essentials.

The Story

The famed Whalers franchise was created in November 1971 when the World Hockey Association awarded a franchise to an ownership group in Boston. Bolstered by a mostly American roster (very unusual for that era), the Whalers cruised to a WHA championship in their first season. 

Despite their success, the team was fourth priority at their home Boston Garden behind the NHL Bruins, NBA Celtics and even the AHL Braves. Fed up with the treatment, the owners decided to move the team to Hartford (who just opened up a brand new Civic Center) becoming the Hartford Whalers.

The Story

In the late 1960's, none of North Carolina's metropolitan areas were large enough to support a professional sports franchise on its own, so the Cougars were branded as a "regional" team and despite being technically based out of Greensboro, played their "home" games in a variety of arenas across the state.

Although the Cougars were moderately successful overall during their run from 1969-74 and had one of the most loyal fan bases in the ABA, talks toward an ABA-NBA merger were in the final stages, and it had become apparent that a "regional" franchise would not be viable in the NBA. 

The Cougars were sold to a consortium of New York businessmen and moved to St. Louis for the '74-75 season and renamed the Spirit of St. Louis.

The Story

After a single season hiatus where Pittsburgh's ABA franchise moved to Minnesota, they returned back in 1969 as the Pittsburgh Pipers once again. A fresh start with a name change came for 1970-71 as the Pittsburgh Condors - but that didn't seem to improve things for the franchise as they had two terrible losing seasons, and to add insult to injury, became infamous for two promotional stunts (including giving away every unsold seat for free during one losing streak that sadly still only filled the arena 75%) that went terribly awry. The ABA cancelled the Pittsburgh franchise after the 1971-72 season.

The man. The myth. The legend. Ogie Ogilthorpe was once the most feared player in minor league hockey, and the Syracuse Bulldogs bring him out of retirement to battle against the Chiefs in what turns out to be an absolute blood bath.

"This young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe!"

The Story

The Miami Floridians began as the Minnesota Muskies, a charter ABA franchise. The Muskies finished with the league's second-best record, but wretched attendance figures led owner Larry Shields to sell a minority stake to a group of Florida businessmen and moved the team to Miami. In order to pay leftover debts in Minnesota, Shields sold Rookie of the Year Mel Daniels to the Indiana Pacers, a deal now reckoned as the most lopsided trade in ABA history.  After just 4 years in FLA, showing no progress in profitability, the team was disbanded in June 1972.

The Story

Originally the Memphis Pros (arguable the least creative team in professional sports), In 1972, the team was purchased by Charles O. Finley, who also owned the Oakland A's and former NHL team Calfornia Golden Seals. In an attempt to drive some interest, they hosted a "Rename the Team" contest, with the TAMs winning the vote.  The nickname was an acronym for Tennessee – Arkansas – Mississippi, and the logo was a tam o'shanter-style hat in white, green and gold, which were also the new team colors, shared with the Athletics and Golden Seals.

Prior to the 1975–76 season a consortium of seven Maryland businessmen bought the troubled Memphis franchise for $1 million and relocated it to Baltimore, renaming it the Baltimore Claws. The team collapsed before the season started, playing only three exhibition games, all losses.  It could have been worse, they did want to rename the franchise the Baltimore Hustlers...so there's that.  When the ABA and NBA merged in 1976 the glory of the Baltimore Claws was retired to the rafters of Basketballs past glory.

Capitalizing on the lack of hockey teams in a number of major American cities and mid-level Canadian cities, the WHA was the first major league to compete with the NHL. The Houston Aeros, who were originally slated to play in Dayton, Ohio, entered the league in 1972, playing at the Sam Houston Coliseum and eventually becoming one of the most successful franchises in the league. Among the star players for the Aeros were Gordie Howe and his two sons Mark and Marty, who became the first father/son combination to play together in professional hockey.

The Aeros graced the ice until 1978 when they folded due to a failed attempt to merge into the NHL (which made them the only WHA champion that did not eventually join the NHL).

The Story

The Maine Nordiques played in the North American Hockey League (NAHL) from 1973-1977.

If the teams of the NAHL (1973-1977) look familiar, it's because the league served as the inspiration for one of the greatest sports movies of all time: Slap Shot. Ned Dowd, who played for the Johnston Jets, was the brother of the film's screenwriter, Nancy Dowd who was inspired to write the screenplay based off of Ned's experiences in a league where bench-clearing brawls and fights between players and fans were the norm on Friday and Saturday nights in arenas in cities like Syracuse, Binghamton and Erie. 

The league's championship trophy, the Lockhart Cup, was last awarded on April 10, 1977, to the Syracuse Blazers and has since gone missing. Its last known whereabouts was reported to be in the basement of Danny Belisle, the coach of the Blazers in the 1976–77 season.

The Story

The World Hockey Association operated from 1972-1979. Although the WHA was not the first league to attempt to challenge the NHL's supremacy, it was by far the most successful. The league tried to capitalize on the lack of hockey teams in a number of major American cities and mid-level Canadian cities, and also hoped to attract the best players by paying more than NHL owners would. The WHA successfully challenged the NHL's reserve clause, which bound players to their NHL teams even without a valid contract, allowing players in both leagues greater freedom of movement. Sixty-seven players jumped from the NHL to the WHA in the first year, led by star forward Bobby Hull, whose ten-year, $2.75 million contract was a record at the time. The WHA also took the initiative to sign European players.

The WHA had an acrimonious relationship with the NHL, resulting in numerous legal battles, as well as competition for control of players and markets. In spite of this, merger talks began almost immediately, as the WHA was constantly unstable, with franchises occasionally relocating or folding in the middle of the season. NHL owners voted down a 1977 plan to merge six WHA teams into the NHL before a 1979 merger was approved. As a result, the WHA ceased operations, and four teams joined the NHL for the 1979-80 season: the Edmonton Oilers, New England Whalers, Quebec Nordiques, and Winnipeg Jets.

The Story

Originally slated for Miami, the WHL's Screaming Eagles were moved to Philadelphia at the last minute prior to the 72-73 season and renamed the Blazers. Shortly after the relocation, they came to contract terms with Derek Sanderson, signing him for $2.6 million over 5 years, at the time the highest salary ever paid to a professional sports player. They also signed former Flyer Bernie Parent in net, who failed to get picked up by an NHL team.

Despite the stars, the Blazers only lasted 1 season, as injuries and off-ice struggles with Sanderson plagued the promising team and therefore ticket sales suffered. The Blazers were moved to Vancouver for the '73-74 season.

The Story

The Whalers franchise started as the 'New England Whalers,' playing in Boston as one of the WHA's original teams in 1972. The team held the WHA's best record through the first season of play, eventually going on a run to win the inaugural Avco World Trophy (the WHA championship).

The club played many of its first season's home games at the Boston Garden and the Whalers found themselves fourth in priority for dates behind the NHL's Bruins, Boston Celtics and even the American Hockey League's Boston Braves. Fed up with the situation, the owners decided to move the team elsewhere: Hartford, Connecticut where a brand new arena was already being built. On January 11, 1975 the team played its first game at the Hartford Civic Center in front of a sellout crowd.

The Story

The LA Aztecs: the New York Cosmos of the west coast. Or at least that’s what the owners hoped the club might become. There were star-studded connections through part-owner Elton John and the famous players like George Best and Johan Cruyff.

The team found immediate success, averaging almost twice as many spectators as the league average, played in the first nationally televised game in the U.S., and won the NASL championship in their debut season.

The Aztecs had mixed success between 1974 and 1981, when the team folded due to instability within its ownership group.

The Story

When a group of Baltimore businessmen purchased the struggling Memphis Sounds franchise in the summer of '75, the new owners first named their team the "Baltimore Hustlers." A season ticket brochure with the new Hustlers logo went out to the public, but when the ABA league office got wind of the "Hustlers" nickname, it objected and "strongly encouraged" the Baltimore owners to choose another nickname. Soon after this directive, the "Baltimore Hustlers" quietly became the "Baltimore Claws" and the great Hustlers name and logo was soon forgotten. Until now.

Even though the Seattle Sounders were a strong team in the 1981 season, it wasn't enough to keep the white and blue stripes in Seattle. With players like Barry Watling & Willie Penman donning the white and blue stripes in Seattle, the Seattle Sounders should have been able to fill seats. The reality however was much different and with low attendance, the Seattle Sounders soon folded and became no more.

The Story

  The Original National Lacrosse League played from 1974-75, and was conceived by hockey owners as a means to fill their arenas in the summer months, the league was not very successful, with only Philadelphia and Montreal drawing sizeable crowds. The league folded in 1976 after the demise of several franchises and the inability of the Montreal franchise to play home games in 1976 because of the Summer Olympics.

Besides featuring NHL players such as Rick Dudley (Rochester) and Doug Favell (Philadelphia), the league also included Bruce Arena (Montreal)—who went on to greater fame as the head coach of the United States men's national soccer team.

The Story

The Buffalo Norsemen played in the North American Hockey League (NAHL) for one season, 1975-76.

If the teams of the NAHL (1973-1977) look familiar, it's because the league served as the inspiration for one of the greatest sports movies of all time: Slap Shot. Ned Dowd, who played for the Johnston Jets, was the brother of the film's screenwriter, Nancy Dowd who was inspired to write the screenplay based off of Ned's experiences in a league where bench-clearing brawls and fights between players and fans were the norm on Friday and Saturday nights in arenas in cities like Syracuse, Binghamton and Erie. 

The league's championship trophy, the Lockhart Cup, was last awarded on April 10, 1977, to the Syracuse Blazers and has since gone missing. Its last known whereabouts was reported to be in the basement of Danny Belisle, the coach of the Blazers in the 1976–77 season.

The Story

The San Diego Mariners entered the league in 1974 after the franchise moved from Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The team name changed, but the Mariners kept the blue, orange and white color scheme from the Knights.

After the 1976-77 season, owner Ray Kroc (of McDonald's fame), who also owned the Padres, sold the team to a group who planned to move it to Florida. However after three failed attempts to secure an arena, the Mariners folded just before training camp opened in the fall of 1977. Fans who put down deposits for season tickets never got their money back.

The Story

The San Diego Conquistadors (the "Q's" to their loyal fans and sportswriters) were an ABA rarity: an ABA expansion team. Their players for their first season (1972-73) were unprotected players taken from other ABA teams in a special expansion draft. Given the talent available in this pool, one national basketball publication predicted that in their first season, the Conquistadors would be "the worst team in organized professional basketball history. They turned out to be not so bad, but nevertheless lasted only a few seasons, folding in 1975.

To this day, the Hawaiians, who played in the short-lived World Football League for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, are the only professional American football team to establish its home base outside the contiguous 48 states. Despite less than stellar records in their two seasons, the Hawaiians were setup for success had the WFL not dissolved after 1975 and might have had the chance to merge with the NFL if not for their location.

Capitalizing on the lack of hockey teams in a number of major American cities and mid-level Canadian cities, the WHA was the first major league to compete with the NHL. Moving to Vancouver after one season in Philadelphia, the Blazers entered the league in 1973, playing at the Pacific Coliseum. Unable to establish a strong fan base in Vancouver, the team was moved again in 1975 to become the Calgary Cowboys.

The Story

Capitalizing on the lack of hockey teams in a number of major American cities and mid-level Canadian cities, the WHA was the first major league to compete with the NHL. The New York Raiders were intended to be the WHA's flagship franchise, and the team was initially slated to play in the brand-new Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island. However, Nassau County was holding out for an NHL franchise and when the NHL finally responded by hastily awarding a franchise to Long Island—the New York Islanders - the lease with the Coliseum was structured in such a way to effectively lock out non-NHL teams, forcing the Raiders to play at Madison Square Garden.

Unsurprisingly, the Raiders couldn't compete with the Rangers and due to poor attendance, the owners defaulted, and the league ended up taking control of the team midway through the season. Following the season, New York real estate mogul Ralph Brent bought the team and renamed it the New York Golden Blades.

The Story

As with most teams in the ABA, the Squires began life as another team, first as the Oakland Oaks and then the Washington Caps upon the franchise's move to DC. They became the Squires the following year (1970-71 season) after yet another move to Roanoke, VA after being pushed out of town by the Baltimore Bullets who wanted to move their NBA franchise to Washington and of course be the only game in town.

The 1972–73 season marked the beginning of the Virginia Squires downturn. Although blessed with a combination of Julius Erving ("Dr. J") and a young George Gervin, the duo only played together late in the season and during the summer of 1973, Dr. J was sold to the New York Nets for cash. Soon, the Squires' attendance fell through the floor and never recovered, folding just after the 1975-76 season.
