NHL

Frozen Beginnings (1910s–1930s)

The National Hockey League was founded in 1917 in Montreal, Canada — born out of icy rinks, rival teams, and pure northern grit. The early years were fast, fierce, and rough-around-the-edges, played in packed arenas where legends like Howie Morenz and Eddie Shore shaped the game’s identity. What started as a handful of teams soon became Canada’s proudest sporting export.

The Original Six Era (1940s–1960s)

From the ’40s through the ’60s, hockey entered its golden age. The Original Six — Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, and New York Rangers — defined the sport. Rivalries ran deep, games were brutal, and dynasties were born. The NHL became a winter tradition; every slapshot and scuffle echoed across North America.

Expansion and Superstar Power (1970s–1980s)

The league exploded, adding new teams and cities while icons like Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Mark Messierbrought skill and spectacle to a global audience. The jerseys got bolder, the logos louder — the ’80s NHL aestheticbecame pure magic: vivid colours, oversized fits, and team pride stitched into every thread.

Ice Meets Street (1990s–2000s)

By the ’90s, NHL fashion hit the streets. Fans rocked Starter jackets, CCM sweatshirts, and big-logo jerseys with pride. Hockey culture blended with hip-hop and skate scenes, turning rinkwear into streetwear. Vintage pieces from this era — especially the neon, patch-heavy shells — are now some of the most sought-after in the game.

Legacy on Ice (2010s–Today)

Over a century since its founding, the NHL remains frozen in history but alive in style. Its vintage jackets, bold crests, and nostalgic cuts capture that same mix of toughness and tradition that defines the sport. Whether you’re cheering from the stands or styling a classic team tee, NHL gear carries the spirit of the rink — cold, fast, and timelessly cool.
