Celebrate a pioneering chapter in Florida football history with our Orlando Thunder World League of American Football T-shirt, commemorating the electrifying 1991-1992 seasons.
The Orlando Thunder emerged as one of the original teams in the World League of American Football (WLAF), bringing spring football excitement to the Florida Citrus Bowl in 1991. Under head coach Don Matthews and later Galen Hall, the team quickly gained popularity for their distinctive neon green and blue uniforms and explosive offensive style. The Thunder reached the pinnacle of their brief existence in 1992, advancing to World Bowl '92 before falling to the Sacramento Surge in the championship game.
Despite strong local support and competitive play, the Thunder's journey ended when the WLAF suspended North American operations after the 1992 season to refocus exclusively on the European market. This restructuring eventually led to the league transforming into NFL Europe, leaving Orlando's vibrant football experiment as a short-lived but fondly remembered chapter in the city's sports history.
