Retro Detroit Mugs
Description: The Vipers were originally formed as the Salt Lake Golden Eagles in 1969. In 1994, the franchise was purchased by Palace Sports and Entertainment (owners of the Detroit Pistons and the Palace of Auburn Hills) and relocated for the 1994–95 season. A sponsorship deal with the Chrysler Corporation led to the naming of the team after their Dodge Viper, although the team's logo primarily featured a common Viperidae (a venomous snake). A similar deal was in place with another Palace Sports-owned team, the Detroit Neon of the Continental Indoor Soccer League, which switched its sponsorship to GMC in its final year and renamed the team the Detroit Safari after yet another vehicle, the Safari.
Description: A vintage Detroit Lions artwork capturing the golden era of football. The design features a classic football player in an old-school helmet charging forward with determination, alongside a roaring lion in bold golden tones. This retro-inspired style evokes the grit, tradition, and legacy of Detroit football, celebrating the Lions’ timeless spirit and deep-rooted pride. Perfect for fans who appreciate history and authenticity in sports culture.
Description: The Detroit Express was a soccer team based in suburban Detroit that played in the now defunct North American Soccer League (NASL) from 1978 to 1980. Its home field was the Pontiac Silverdome The Express were co-owned by Roger Faulkner and by famed English soccer pundit Jimmy Hill who was also the managing director and chairman of the English club Coventry City. The team was coached by Ken Furphy. If this one looks familiar, that's probably because Mac sported one in an episode of IASIP.
