Celebrate a colorful chapter in Kentucky hockey history with this Louisville RiverFrogs t-shirt from their East Coast Hockey League era. The RiverFrogs brought their unique brand of minor league hockey excitement to Louisville Gardens from 1995-1998, following their rebranding from the IceHawks. Known for their distinctive branding and mascot "Louie the RiverFrog," the team created a memorable fan experience despite the challenges of maintaining hockey in a basketball-dominated market. The franchise ultimately relocated to become the Miami Matadors in 1998 due to declining attendance and arena lease issues.
The distressed, weathered logo captures the fun spirit of this unique team and gives this shirt an authentic, vintage feel – as if it's been preserved since those entertaining ECHL seasons. Printed on premium Gildan 5000 heavyweight cotton, this shirt offers the perfect blend of comfort and durability. The classic unisex fit and preshrunk fabric ensure it'll remain a comfortable favorite wash after wash.
Features:
- Premium 5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk cotton
- Available in sizes S-5XL
- Direct-to-garment printing for vibrant, long-lasting results
- Tear-away label for maximum comfort
- Clean, blank back design

Whether you're a hockey fan who remembers the RiverFrogs' vibrant games at the Gardens, a collector of rare sports memorabilia, or simply appreciate unique pieces of Kentucky sports history, this shirt is a perfect tribute to one of minor league hockey's most distinctively branded teams.
