Celebrate a unique chapter in Illinois hockey history with our Peoria Prancers T-shirt. This classic tee features the team's distinctive logo on the front, rendered with a distressed, cracked finish that gives it an authentic vintage look and feel, perfectly capturing the spirit of this memorable minor league franchise.
The Peoria Prancers were a professional ice hockey team that competed in the International Hockey League (IHL) from 1982 to 1984. Based in Peoria, Illinois, the Prancers brought exciting minor league hockey action to central Illinois, playing their home games at the Peoria Civic Center.
During their brief existence, the Prancers served as a farm team for the Calgary Flames of the NHL, helping to develop talent for the big league while providing entertaining hockey for local fans. The team's unique name and logo, featuring a prancing horse, made them stand out in the world of hockey branding.
After two seasons, the team was rebranded as the Peoria Rivermen, a name that would stick with Peoria's hockey teams for many years to come. However, the Prancers remain an interesting footnote in the city's rich hockey history.
Crafted from 100% preshrunk heavy cotton, this comfortable shirt is ideal for showcasing your appreciation for minor league hockey history and Illinois sports. The standard unisex fit ensures a flattering look for all body types, while the tear-away label adds to the comfort. Available in a wide range of popular colors and sizes from S to 5XL, there's a perfect option for every fan and collector of unique sports memorabilia.
Printed on high-quality Gildan 5000 fabric weighing 5.3 oz, this durable shirt is built to withstand the test of time, much like the memories of the Prancers' games. The logo appears only on the front, leaving the back blank for a clean, classic appearance.

It's more than just clothing – it's a conversation starter and a tribute to a team that, though short-lived, played a role in establishing Peoria's enduring love for hockey.
