Springfield Retro Shorts
Description: Buffalo Springfield was a rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1966, taking their name from an old Buffalo Springfield steamroller parked outside their house. The group, widely known for the song 'For What It's Worth,' which became a US top 10 hit and a counterculture anthem, released three albums and several singles between 1966 and 1968. Their music combined elements of folk and country with British Invasion and psychedelic rock influences. They were key to the early development of folk rock. Their second album, Buffalo Springfield Again, marked their progression to psychedelia and hard rock. After several drug arrests and line-up changes, the group disbanded in 1968, and their final album, Last Time Around, was released post dissolution.

Description: The Springfield Indians were a minor professional ice hockey franchise, originally based in West Springfield, Massachusetts and later Springfield, Massachusetts. The Indians were founding members of the AHL that were in existence for a total of 60 seasons from 1926 to 1994. The team was known as the Syracuse Warriors from '51 to '54; in addition, the team was called the Springfield Kings from '67 to '74, and then back to being the Springfield Indians for the remainder of the '74 season. The Indians won seven Calder Cup championships; one in '74 sandwiched between three consecutive from '60 to '62 and two consecutive in '90 and '91; and one as the Kings, in '71. This design is based on the '74 rebrand when they returned to their roots.
