Step back in time with this exciting piece of arena football history! The Mahoning Valley Thunder t-shirt celebrates one of AF2's most memorable Ohio franchises. From their kickoff at the Covelli Centre in 2007, the Thunder brought high-energy indoor football action to Youngstown fans, known for their hard-hitting games and electric atmosphere.
Rising to prominence in the competitive AF2 league, the Thunder earned a devoted following before ceasing operations in 2009. A challenging economic climate during the Great Recession, combined with the broader struggles of minor league sports in the region, led to their closure after three seasons – though faithful fans still reminisce about the thunderous roar of gameday at the Covelli Centre.
This premium t-shirt features a distressed, vintage-style reproduction on a high-quality Gildan 5000 blank. Crafted from 5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk cotton, this classic unisex fit shirt offers both comfort and durability. The tear-away label adds modern convenience to this retro design.
