Arena Football Shop
af2 Apparel
af2, also branded as arenafootball2 was a minor league indoor football circuit established by the Arena Football League (AFL) in 1999. It began play in 2000. After the AFL went out of business, the af2 owners got together, bought the AFL branding in a bankruptcy settlement, and relaunched as the “new” Arena Football League in 2010.
Remember the glory days of af2 in apparel from Royal Retros!
