Team Player Socks
Description: The Montreal Expos (French: Les Expos de Montréal) was a baseball team located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from 1969 until 2004. After the 2004 season, the franchise was relocated by their owners to Washington, D.C. and became the Nationals. The team retained a portion of the Expos’ records, player contracts, and minor league affiliates, as well as their spring training complex in Viera, Florida. The Expos’ logo was one of the more unique in baseball history, featuring a stylized “M” for Montreal, also forming a red “e” for Expos, and a blue “b” for baseball, coming together as “Montreal Expos Baseball” though it’s often said to read “elb” as and stand for “Expos League Baseball” which despite its popularity, is incorrect.
Description: The Philadelphia Phantoms were a professional ice hockey team that played in the AHL from 1996 until 2009. The club was based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and played most of its home games at The Spectrum. During schedule conflicts or playoff games, games were moved to the adjacent Wachovia Center. The Phantoms won two titles (1998 and 2005) during their tenure in Philadelphia. In anticipation of the planned closure and demolition of the Spectrum, the franchise was sold in early 2009. The new owners moved the club to Glens Falls, New York, for the 2009–10 season and renamed them the Adirondack Phantoms. Beginning in the 2014–15 season, the team moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania, in a new 8,500-seat arena.

Description: The Osaka Tigers were a Japanese professional baseball team founded on December 10, 1935, playing their first season in 1936. In 1940, amid anti-foreign sentiment, the Tigers changed the name to the Hanshin Tigers, and in 1947 changed the name back to Osaka Tigers. The team name was once again changed back to Hanshin Tigers in 1961, and remains the team name to this day, making them the second-oldest professional club in Japan. The Tigers' home field has been Koshien Stadium since day one, a venue considered to be sacred ground not just fans of the Tigers, but for Japanese baseball fans everywhere.
