Step back in time and celebrate the rich history of Pittsburgh hockey with our vintage-inspired Pittsburgh Hornets T-shirt. The Hornets, who played in various professional leagues from 1927 to 1967, were a dominant force in the early days of the sport and left an indelible mark on the city's hockey culture.
Originally known as the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team was renamed the Hornets in 1936 and went on to become one of the most successful franchises in the American Hockey League (AHL). The Hornets captured three Calder Cup championships during their storied history, solidifying their place as a powerhouse in the league.
The team's roster featured a mix of homegrown talent and experienced veterans, all united by their love for the game and their determination to bring glory to the Steel City. The Hornets' distinctive black and orange uniforms became a symbol of pride for Pittsburgh hockey fans, who packed the Duquesne Gardens and later the Civic Arena to cheer on their beloved team.
Throughout their 40-year history, the Pittsburgh Hornets showcased the talents of many legendary players, including future Hall of Famers like Sid Abel, Terry Sawchuk, and Tim Horton. The team's success on the ice helped to establish Pittsburgh as a hockey hotbed and paved the way for the arrival of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins in 1967.
Our Pittsburgh Hornets T-shirt pays homage to this iconic team, featuring a vintage-style logo on the front that captures the Hornets' timeless appeal and unwavering spirit. The addition of "Burghr" in the team name adds a unique touch, reflecting the city's dialect and the team's deep connection to the local community.
