Philadelphia Firebirds Jerseys

Our Seattle Ironmen jerseys are a custom design that is an homage to the sweaters of the original Ironmen, but is also unique in its own right. They have embroidered elements and fully cut and sewn seams for that old school jersey feel. 

These jerseys feature embroidered "ironmen" logos sewn onto the chest of the jersey. The Ironmen usually only wore an "S" or the words "Seattle Ironmen" one their chest, so this is a customized chest logo. 

The Ironmen did wear a white and dark color scheme with a mid-chest color split that we've captured here, along with a set of five stripes on both the arms and lower chest. All of these features are embroidered at the seams for that old school look and feel; nothing sublimated about it. 

Further, we mimicked the two stars on each shoulder that the Ironmen wore to the best of out ability using modern production methods. Two stars are embroidered onto the jersey over each shoulder, including one red star for a pop of color. 

Finally, the names and numbers. We do offer a blank option at a lower price point without names and numbers. If you'd like yours customized, we are keeping true to the Ironmen's original design with no numbers on the arms. On the back, we have an option for a stitched name bar with heatpress lettering and large heatpressed numbers across the back. Both the name and back numbers are red, to further add color to the Ironmen and bring what we believe to be their red, white and blue color scheme to the modern age.
 
How our jersey pre-orders work.

We're a small mom and pop shop and due to lack of well, everything, we are not able to customize our retro hockey jerseys on the fly. Instead, we need to send them out to get made in batches. To be able to offer customization, we open up individual jerseys for pre-orders when we debut them and again later on depending on demand for that particular jersey. So if you are interested in customization or an unusual size such as youth or goalie cuts, pre-order time is the time to buy! You never know when (or if) these jerseys might be available again.

All that said, we do plan to keep stock available continuously for blank jerseys in sizes small through 3XL for most teams. Please note that pre-order jerseys are expected to ship 2-3 months from the date the pre-order period ends and payment in full is required at the time of purchase. In stock blanks will ship on our normal timeframes and usually leave the warehouse within a couple of days. You can read our pre-order policy here

Providence Reds™ History

presented by Vintage Ice Hockey

Who were the Providence Reds?

The journey of the Providence Reds is an amazing testament to the evolution of hockey in the US over the last century. Founded in the height of the “Roaring ‘20s”, The Reds made significant contributions to the popularity of hockey in America and are a truly historic team in hockey history.

The Reds took the ice in 1926 when hockey was just gaining traction in the US as part of the Can-Am Hockey League (CAHL). In their first season, their determination and skill on the ice established them as a force to be reckoned with by winning three league titles in their first decade. In the 1929-30 season, under the guidance of coach Sprague Cleghorn – an amazing 1930s hockey name - the team clinched the Calder Cup, an achievement that elevated their status in the hockey world. This success was a testament to the talent and determination of the players, as well as the organizational strength of the franchise.

For their first 10 years, the Reds were members of the Canadian American Hockey League (CAHL) which changed its name to the American Hockey League (AHL) in 1936. One of the biggest hurdles for the team came as World War II unfolded, because so many minor and professional teams had trouble filling their rosters due to enlistments and the strain the war took on the economy. Despite these difficulties, the team managed to stay afloat and maintain its competitive edge, even winning the Calder Cup yet again in 1940. The Reds maintained their popularity throughout the ‘40s, and the 1948-49 season culminated in another Calder Cup victory.

The Reds continued to adapt to the changing landscape of professional hockey throughout the ‘50s. In 1956, the franchise became the top farm team for the Boston Bruins, solidifying a crucial partnership that would shape their future. This affiliation allowed the Reds to develop and nurture talented players who would later make significant contributions to both teams.

The 1960s forced the Reds into an adjustment period yet again as the AHL expanded. The team remained competitive and kept up strong ties with the local community. However, due to financial issues, the Reds were sold in 1972. Under new ownership, the Reds decided to move from Rhode Island Auditorium (their home since 1926) to the Providence Civic Center for a more modern, accessible venue for their fans. The team persevered once again and made it to the Calder Cup finals during the 1975-1976 season.

The Reds remained a constant in Providence until 1977. Despite a change of venue, financial struggles, and the challenge of staffing a team during war, the team never took a break for a single season. Over the course of 41 years, the Reds’ overall record was:

(GP-W-L-T-OTL-SOL)
2744-1172-1316-256-0-0

The Reds had 9 regular season championships and won the Calder Cup in 1938, 1940, 1949, and 1956. Their affiliations over the years included the Boston Bruins, California Seals, Chicago Black Hawks, Colorado Rockies, New England Whalers, New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues, and Toronto Maple Leaves. Notable Reds alumni include Johnny Bower, Edie Giacomin, Gump Worsley, and Camille Henry.

This team remaining a constant in the community for over fifty years is incredibly impressive. The Reds’ franchise is the oldest operational franchise in North America and the only AHL franchise to have never missed a season. It is truly a historic accomplishment.

The key to the franchise’s long run is the dedication of so many to keep the memory of the original Reds alive. In 2001, the Rhode Island Reds Heritage Society was created. It commemorates the existence of the franchise and pays homage to the founding team. They have an annual reunion that takes place every August and their Facebook page is frequently updated with images of the Reds’ glory days.

The Spark Fades…

The team’s success on the ice didn’t last in their later seasons. They missed the playoffs four times. They also only went above 36 points a season once in their last four seasons. By 1999, their crowd reached a record low at 2,728. Things also took a strange turn when the team was fined $50,000 and docked 15 points in the standings for circumventing the league salary cap and making payments to NHL and AHL teams for players. The penalties prevented the Tiger Sharks from participating in the playoffs.

The owner also moved the team to Macon, Georgia in June of 2001. The franchise continued as the Macon Whoopees.

While the beginning of the Tiger Sharks’ story is a tale as old as time for the minor league hockey circuit, the franchise is still in existence today. That’s not something we can say for many of the teams we showcase. After a year in Macon, the team moved to Lexington, Kentucky for one year. Their next move was to Utah where they became the Utah Grizzlies. The Grizzlies still take the ice today.

Notable Players

Manon Rheaume played one period in one game during the Tiger Sharks’ first season. Rheaume was a female goaltender who played for a lot of different teams and always helped them to draw in a crowd. Unfortunately, Rheaume gave away four goals during the one period she donned a Tiger Shark jersey.

Michael Ryder was the most noteworthy player to spend time with the Tiger Sharks. He joined the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens. Over the next few years, he had several 30 goal seasons with the Canadiens and Dallas Stars. In 2011, he won a Stanley Cup with the Boston Bruins.

Mark Streit, another NHL Cup Winner, spent some time with the Tiger Sharks as well. His career boasts 96 goals in 786 games.

Todd Reirden followed up his Tiger Sharks stint with a long time career as an NHL coach. He was eventually a cup winner with the Washington Capitals.

A Wild Ride & The Philly Firebird Legacy

While their inaugural season was definitely eventful, the Firebirds sustained their fair share of exciting moments throughout the rest of their time in the NAHL as well. They eventually found their stride and won the Lockhart Cup in 1976, compiling an impressing 45-20 regular season record and defeating the Beauce Jaros in the playoff finals. The following season, 1976-77, was a good one as well although they didn't win any titles.

Unfortunately, as the Firebirds’ luck was at an all-time high, the NAHL couldn’t say the same. The league collapsed before the 1977-78 season could begin. The Firebirds hustled to join the American Hockey League (AHL), but it was also struggling at the time and was also a significant step up in play. The Firebirds weren't terrible, but they didn't finish above .500 in either of their two AHL seasons. They both of their AHL seasons in Philadelphia, but continued to lose money and saw their fan attendance dip. Their last “Hail Mary” attempt at survival was to move to upstate New York and become the Syracuse Firebirds. Unfortunately, that move failed and the Firebird franchise ended in the spring of 1980. 

As far as famous Firebirds go, Reggie Lemelin went on to attain great success after goaltending for the Firebirds. He stayed with the Firebirds all 5 years they were in Philadelphia and joined the NHL in 1978. He had a 15 year professional career with the Atlanta/Calgary Flames and Boston Bruins. Interestingly, Lemelin was drafted by the Flyers in 1974, so there's a photo out there of him in a Flyers uniform, but he never played for them. Lemelin would return to Philly to be a goalie coach for the Flyers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. 

Mike Eruzione, a 1980s Olympic hero, also had a brief stint with the Firebirds. He joined them for their last six games during their final season in Philly.

The infamous hockey film Slap Shot was also heavily influenced by the Firebirds and the rest of the NAHL. It is rumored that Paul Newman attended several Firebird games in order to prepare for his role in the movie. Mark Bousquet, who is 3rd from the right in the second row in the picture above, played an important role in the movie as Andre "Poodle" Lussier of the Syracuse Bulldogs. 

While the Firebirds were a quick and tumultuous roller coaster of a hockey franchise, they proved that Philadelphia could support two pro hockey teams. The Philadelphia Phantoms also spent more than a decade as an AHL team in the city during the 1990s and 2000s.
