This premium Wichita Stealth Football tee celebrates a memorable chapter in Kansas indoor football history. The Stealth were an indoor football team that played in Arena Football 2, the small-market developmental league for the Arena Football League from 2001 until 2004.
The team gained initial popularity when they made their home at the Kansas Coliseum in Wichita, Kansas, with fans drawn to the fast-paced indoor version of the game. The franchise began with strong management, as during the franchise's first two seasons, the club was operated on a management contract by the DeVos family of Grand Rapids, Michigan, who owned the Orlando Magic of the NBA, several Midwestern minor league hockey teams and the Grand Rapids Rampage of the Arena Football League. Their fortunes changed when shortly before the Stealth's third season in 2003, the DeVos family sold the team to a local buyer in Wichita named David Key, a novice sports investor who owned a rapidly growing facilities management business. Despite making the playoffs once during their existence, the team struggled with organizational issues in their later years. After an 8-8 season in 2004, the team officially disbanded and ceased all operations, marking the end of this chapter in Wichita's sports history.
Our reproduction features the team's iconic logo with an authentically distressed, cracked, vintage feel that honors the original design while giving it that perfectly worn-in look of a treasured game-day shirt from the early 2000s.
