Philadelphia Blazers WHA Apparel
The Philadelphia Blazers were charter members of the World Hockey Association (WHA) in 1972. For one season, Philly was a two-team town. The Blazers left for Vancouver, though, in 1973. Remember Philadelphia’s other pro team in a T-shirt and jersey from Royal Retros. Several colors available.
