Colorado Rockies Mugs
Description: The Colorado Rockies were an American professional ice hockey team in the National Hockey League (NHL) that played in Denver from 1976 to 1982. They were founded as the Kansas City Scouts, an expansion team that began play in the NHL in the 1974–75 season. The Scouts moved from Kansas City, Missouri, to Denver for the 1976–77 season. The franchise moved to East Rutherford, New Jersey, for the 1982–83 season and was renamed as the New Jersey Devils. Denver went without an NHL team until the Quebec Nordiques relocated to become the Colorado Avalanche following the 1994–95 season. The Rockies name itself would be applied to the Major League Baseball expansion team that began play in 1993.

Description: Vintage Colorado Rockies NHL hockey logo tee celebrating one of the league's most short-lived and forgotten franchises. The Colorado Rockies played just six seasons from 1976 to 1982 before relocating to become the New Jersey Devils — their unique logo and brief history make this a prized piece of hockey nostalgia for fans of defunct NHL teams.
