What You Can Shop in the Birmingham Stallions Collection

Birmingham Stallions Jerseys — Five of them, every one $109.99, and they are the reason this page exists. The 1983–85 USFL throwback comes in red and white and is built to the original Legion Field look. The 2022–23 USFL jersey, also red and white, is the revival design with the inaugural-season detailing. The USFL Champions jersey in red marks the back-to-back title run. The UFL Champions jersey is the gold one — the piece that commemorates the 25–0 shutout in the first United Football League championship game. And the Magic City UFL jersey in black is the city-nickname alternate, the sharpest-looking thing in the range. All five use sewn-on tackle-twill numbers and lettering rather than screen print, in sizes Small through 5XL. Free custom name and number on most styles.

Birmingham Stallions T-Shirts — Five tees, and this is the widest category here. The Classic tee ($29.99) carries the throwback wordmark and comes in black, red, athletic heather, soft cream and white, S–5XL. The Helmet T-Shirt ($29.99) is a red screen-printed graphic tee, S–5XL. The UFL Champions tee ($29.99) comes in black, red, soft cream and white, S–5XL, and the matching long sleeve ($34.99) adds sand in S–4XL. The DynastyDry performance tee ($29.99) is a deep red moisture-wicking knit, S–4XL, for anyone who actually wants to move in it. Cross-shop the wider football T-shirt range, the long sleeve tees or the full activewear collection.

Birmingham Stallions Hats — Two caps, both throwback-leaning.

Both are one-size-fits-most. Browse the wider unstructured hat range, the trucker caps, or every hat we make.

Birmingham Stallions Hoodies & Sweatshirts — The throwback pullover hoodie at $59.99 in red, sizes S–3XL. Heavyweight cotton-blend fleece, ribbed cuffs and hem, front pouch, throwback wordmark. Spring football in Birmingham is genuinely cold in late March, and this is the piece people actually wore to Protective Stadium. See more in hoodies and sweatshirts.

Birmingham Stallions Satin Varsity Jacket — One, and it is the premium end of the collection: a made-to-order red satin varsity jacket at $219.99–$249.99 in sizes S–3XL. Full satin shell, quilted lining, ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband, snap front, chenille and twill applique. Made to order, so allow additional production time. Compare against the full jacket collection.

Customization — Free custom name and number on most Birmingham Stallions jerseys. Put a name on the back that means something: a 1984 Legion Field starter, a 2022 revival champion, a Stallions alum who has since signed an NFL contract, or your own. Custom items are made to order and final sale. See the full custom jersey program and the wider football jersey catalog.

Sizes — Small through 5XL on all five jerseys and on the Classic, Helmet and UFL Champions tees. The long sleeve and the DynastyDry performance tee run S–4XL. The throwback hoodie and the satin jacket run S–3XL. Hats are adjustable one-size-fits-most. No big & tall upcharge anywhere — a 5XL jersey costs the same $109.99 as a Medium.

Shop the Stallions by Era — Three Franchises, One Name

Almost no team in American football can offer this. The Stallions have a 1980s original identity, a 2020s revival identity and a current-league identity — three genuinely different objects with forty years between them. We sell them as separate products rather than one generic "vintage Birmingham" graphic, because the fan who sat at Legion Field in 1984 and the fan who found the league on FOX in 2022 are not buying the same jersey.

1983–1985 — The Original USFL Stallions. This is the Legion Field era: Rollie Dotsch on the sideline, Cliff Stoudt throwing, Joe Cribbs running behind him, and 36,850 people a game showing up in 1984 for a spring league nobody had asked for. The Stallions went 14–4 that year and 13–5 the next, and Birmingham became the best-supported city in the back half of the original USFL. The 1983–85 USFL jersey in red or white is the anchor of this era, and the throwback hoodie, the throwback dad hat, the trucker cap and the Classic tee all carry the same original wordmark. If you were there, this is your era. Cross-shop the full USFL collection.

2022–2023 — The USFL Revival and the Back-to-Back Titles. FOX Sports brought the name back in March 2022 and ran the entire eight-team league out of Birmingham as a single hub, with most games at the newly built Protective Stadium. The Stallions won the first revival championship on July 3, 2022, beating the Philadelphia Stars 33–30. They won it again in 2023, beating the Pittsburgh Maulers 28–12. No other franchise in the modern spring era has consecutive titles. The 2022–23 USFL jersey is the revival design in red or white with the inaugural-season detailing, and the USFL Champions jersey in red is the piece built specifically for those two titles. This is the era for anyone who discovered the league on television in the 2020s.

2024–2026 — The UFL Stallions. The USFL and XFL merged on January 1, 2024, and Birmingham carried its championship straight into the new league — then won that too, 25–0 over the San Antonio Brahmas on June 16, 2024, for a third consecutive spring-football title. The gold UFL Champions jersey is that game. The black Magic City jersey is the city alternate that became the team's best-looking uniform. Add the Champions tee, the Champions long sleeve, the DynastyDry performance tee, the Helmet tee and the satin varsity jacket, and this is the deepest single-era range on the page. It is also the era with a hard end date: the league announced on July 30, 2026 that Birmingham will not return in 2027. Cross-shop the full UFL collection.

Gift Ideas for the Birmingham Stallions Fan

• For the fan who was actually at Legion Field: The 1983–85 USFL throwback jersey, or the throwback hoodie and dad hat as a pair. Almost nobody sells this era.
• For the FOX-era convert: The 2022–23 USFL jersey — their era, not their father's, and the revival design rather than a 1980s recolor.
• For the fan who wants a trophy on their back: The gold UFL Champions jersey. Three straight spring championships is a claim exactly one franchise can make.
• For the person who cares how it looks first: The black Magic City jersey, or the red and cream trucker cap.
• Under $35, or well over it: The Classic tee at $29.99 and the trucker cap at $32.99 at one end; the satin varsity jacket at $219.99–$249.99 at the other.
• Buy it before it is gone: The Stallions leave the UFL after 2026, and merchandise for a franchise that no longer plays does not get restocked forever.

About the Birmingham Stallions

The Birmingham Stallions are the most successful franchise in the history of American spring professional football, and one of very few to have existed twice under the same name in two different centuries. The original Stallions were a charter member of the United States Football League, playing three seasons at Legion Field from 1983 to 1985, winning 36 of 54 regular-season games and reaching the conference championship game in both 1984 and 1985. The name returned in 2022 with the FOX-backed USFL revival, and the modern Stallions won the 2022 and 2023 USFL championships and then the inaugural 2024 UFL championship — three consecutive spring titles, a run no other franchise in any spring league has managed.

They are also, as of July 30, 2026, a franchise with an announced end date: the UFL confirmed that Birmingham will not return for 2027. What follows is the whole story, start to finish.

1983 — A Charter Franchise at Legion Field

The USFL kicked off in March 1983 with twelve teams, and Birmingham was one of them, alongside the Arizona Wranglers, Boston Breakers, Chicago Blitz, Denver Gold, Los Angeles Express, Michigan Panthers, New Jersey Generals, Oakland Invaders, Philadelphia Stars, Tampa Bay Bandits and Washington Federals. Birmingham was one of only three markets in the founding twelve without an NFL team, which was precisely the argument for it: Legion Field held more than 70,000 people, the state of Alabama had a football appetite that college ball could not fully absorb, and there was no professional competition for a spring audience.

The owner was Marvin Warner, a Cincinnati financier and former United States ambassador to Switzerland who controlled Home State Savings Bank. The head coach was Rollie Dotsch, a longtime NFL assistant who would coach every game the original franchise ever played. With the third overall pick in the 1983 USFL draft, Birmingham took quarterback Reggie Collier out of Southern Miss — a genuine dual-threat prospect years ahead of the position's fashion. It did not work out: Collier hurt his hip in the opener, was platooned with Bob Lane, and suffered a season-ending knee injury in the tenth game. Lane threw for 2,264 yards as the primary starter.

The Stallions finished 9–9, fourth in the Central Division, and missed the playoffs, averaging 22,046 fans a game — respectable for a startup league. It was a competent, unspectacular first season that told the league one thing clearly: Birmingham would show up.

1984 — Cliff Stoudt, Joe Cribbs, and 14–4

The 1984 offseason is when the Stallions became a real football team. The league's owners had by then comprehensively abandoned their own $1.8 million salary cap, and Birmingham used the environment as well as anybody. They signed quarterback Cliff Stoudt away from the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he had spent years behind Terry Bradshaw, and running back Joe Cribbs away from the Buffalo Bills, where he had already been a Pro Bowl back. Stoudt finished among the top five passers in the league in both 1984 and 1985. Cribbs led the entire USFL in rushing in 1984.

Birmingham went 14–4 and drew an average of 36,850 fans a game, which made Legion Field one of the few genuinely loud buildings the league had. In the playoffs they beat the Tampa Bay Bandits 36–17 in the quarterfinal, then ran into the wall that defined the original franchise: the Philadelphia Stars, who beat them 20–10 in the Eastern Conference championship game and went on to win the league title. The Stars had the best record in the USFL in 1983 and again in 1984, and they were the one team Birmingham could not solve.

1985 — The Bank Run That Nearly Ended the Season

The 1985 Stallions were the best team the original franchise produced on the field and the closest it ever came to disappearing off it. Birmingham went 13–5, won its division, and beat the Houston Gamblers 22–20 in the first round of the playoffs. Then, on July 7, 1985, they met the Stars again — relocated by that point and playing as the Baltimore Stars — and were buried under a 28–0 lead before losing 28–14 in the semifinal. Three seasons, two conference-title-game appearances, zero championships, all of them stopped by the same franchise.

The off-field story was worse. Marvin Warner lost control of the club that spring when Home State Savings Bank — the Cincinnati savings and loan he controlled — collapsed in a bank run, an early casualty of the savings and loan crisis. The failure also rendered the Stallions' league-mandated emergency letter of credit worthless. Team president Jerry Sklar persuaded the limited partners to add money, then persuaded the city of Birmingham itself to buy a $100,000 stake plus a $900,000 line of credit. That is how the 1985 Stallions finished their season: on municipal money, because the city decided the team was worth keeping.

Attendance held at 32,065 a game in a lame-duck season everybody knew was the last. Denver's gate collapsed; San Antonio's franchise was revoked for non-payment; Birmingham kept showing up. That season is the best single explanation for why, thirty-seven years later, a television network chose Birmingham as the place to restart the entire league.

How the Original Stallions Ended

Nothing that killed the original Stallions had anything to do with Birmingham. On August 22, 1984 the USFL's owners voted to abandon the spring for a fall schedule in 1986, competing head-on with the NFL. The consequences arrived before a single fall game was scheduled: the Pittsburgh Maulers folded, the defending champion Stars left Philadelphia for Baltimore, and the 1983 champion Michigan Panthers merged into the Oakland Invaders rather than play in Detroit. The league then turned down a four-year, $175 million ABC offer to keep playing in the spring.

The USFL sued the NFL for antitrust violations, and on July 29, 1986 a jury found the NFL to be an illegal monopoly — and awarded the USFL damages of one dollar, trebled to three. The owners voted to suspend operations five days later, and not one of the scheduled 1986 fall games was ever played. The Birmingham Stallions, who had never had a losing season and had just drawn 32,000 a game in a doomed campaign, simply stopped existing. Read the full story in the USFL collection.

The Dormant Years — 1986 to 2021

Birmingham spent the next thirty-six years as the most reliably tested market in American alternative football, and Legion Field spent them as the most-used stadium in the business. The Birmingham Fire played in the World League of American Football in 1991 and 1992. The Birmingham Barracudas played a single season in 1995, during the Canadian Football League's brief expansion into the United States. The Birmingham Thunderbolts played the one and only season of the original XFL in 2001. The Birmingham Iron played in the Alliance of American Football in 2019, opening with a 26–0 win over the Memphis Express — the first shutout in that league's history — and sitting second in their division when the AAF ceased operations eight weeks into a ten-week season.

That was on top of what came before: the Birmingham Americans won the World Football League's first World Bowl in 1974, the Birmingham Vulcans replaced them for the WFL's abbreviated 1975 season, and the Alabama Vulcans played in the American Football Association in 1979. Add the Stallions, and Birmingham hosted seven professional football franchises across seven leagues in fifty-two years. Every one of those leagues folded. Birmingham kept saying yes anyway. Browse more of that history in Legacy Football and the original UFL.

2022 — The Name Comes Back, and Wins Immediately

The USFL returned in March 2022, backed by FOX Sports and run by Brian Woods. No figures from the original league were involved; the revival licensed the historic names and marks and rebuilt from scratch. Rather than operate eight separate market businesses, the league played essentially the entire season in one city — Birmingham, with most games at the newly opened Protective Stadium and some at Legion Field. It was a cost-control decision the 1980s owners would have understood perfectly and certainly ignored, and it was possible only because Birmingham had spent forty years proving it would turn up.

The Stallions, coached by Skip Holtz, went 9–1 in the regular season and won the championship on July 3, 2022, beating the Philadelphia Stars 33–30. The old franchise had never won a title in three tries. The new one won in its first attempt, in the same city, wearing the same name.

2023 — Back-to-Back

For 2023 the league expanded to four hub cities: Birmingham, Detroit, Memphis and Canton, Ohio. The Tampa Bay Bandits took a hiatus and the Memphis Showboats returned in their place — the first Showboats football since 1985. Quarterback Alex McGough was named USFL Most Valuable Player. Birmingham won the title again, beating the Pittsburgh Maulers 28–12, and became the only franchise in the modern era of spring football with consecutive championships.

2024 — The Merger, and the Three-Peat

The USFL and XFL merger closed on December 31, 2023, and on January 1, 2024 the combined entity was named the United Football League. Eight franchises survived, four from each side: Birmingham, the Houston Roughnecks, the Memphis Showboats and the Michigan Panthers from the USFL; the DC Defenders, the St. Louis Battlehawks, the Arlington Renegades and the San Antonio Brahmas from the XFL.

The league opened its first-ever game on March 30, 2024 with a deliberate matchup: the Renegades, 2023 XFL champions, against the Stallions, 2023 USFL champions — two title-holders from two dead leagues opening the one that replaced them. Birmingham then won the whole thing again. In the championship game on June 16, 2024, at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, in front of 27,396 people, the Stallions shut out the San Antonio Brahmas 25–0, scoring on three consecutive possessions to build a 22–0 lead and never letting San Antonio into the game. It was the only shutout of the season and Birmingham's third consecutive spring-football championship: 2022 USFL, 2023 USFL, 2024 UFL.

2025 and 2026 — The End of the Run

The 2025 Stallions went 7–3 — at the time the worst regular season in the modern franchise's history — and produced the greatest comeback in UFL history along the way, erasing a 25–6 deficit against the Houston Roughnecks in Week 7. Then, for the first time in four springs, they lost a game that mattered: a 44–29 defeat to the Michigan Panthers in the conference final. Michigan went on to lose the championship game 58–34 to the DC Defenders, the highest-scoring game the league has played.

Skip Holtz stepped away in December 2025, and on December 18 the Stallions hired A.J. McCarron as head coach — the Mobile-born quarterback who won back-to-back national championships at Alabama, spent years in the NFL, and had been the Stallions' own starter. He left a run for Alabama lieutenant governor to take the job, and inherited a rebuilt league: three franchises gone, three expansion teams in Columbus, Louisville and Orlando, no conferences, and a rulebook rewritten to force offense.

It did not go well. Birmingham finished 4–6, the first losing season and the first playoff miss in the modern franchise's history, and the Orlando Storm beat them 16–0 in Week 4 in the first regular-season shutout in UFL history. The championship went to the first-year Louisville Kings, who beat DC 27–20 at Audi Field on June 13, 2026.

July 30, 2026 — Why the Stallions Are Leaving

Six weeks after the season ended, the UFL announced that the Birmingham Stallions and the Houston Gamblers would not return for the 2027 season, describing the move as a strategic market realignment. It was not about the record and it was not really about Birmingham. It was about the building.

Protective Stadium seats 47,100. The Stallions averaged 8,248 fans a game in 2026, and a Week 7 crowd of 4,705 sat in a bowl built for more than ten times that. UFL co-owner Mike Repole has been explicit that the decision came down to venue size — spring football cannot succeed in a stadium that makes a real crowd look like an empty one. The league's stated target is 10,000 to 15,000 fans in a building that holds 15,000 to 25,000: full houses in small stadiums rather than sparse ones in large.

Two replacement markets are expected for 2027 and have not been named; Oklahoma City is confirmed for 2028. What none of that changes is the arithmetic on this page: the most decorated franchise in spring-football history plays its last game in Birmingham colors in 2026.

Notable Birmingham Stallions Players and Coaches

The original era. Cliff Stoudt is the quarterback of the 1980s Stallions — a career NFL backup in Pittsburgh who became a top-five USFL passer in both 1984 and 1985 the moment he was handed a starting job. Joe Cribbs, a Pro Bowl running back with the Buffalo Bills and an Auburn product coming home, led the entire USFL in rushing in 1984. Reggie Collier was the high-upside dual-threat quarterback whose knee ended the experiment in 1983. Rollie Dotsch coached all three seasons and never had a losing one.

The modern era. Skip Holtz coached the revival Stallions to three consecutive championships and left as the winningest coach in modern spring-football history. Alex McGough was the 2023 USFL Most Valuable Player. Matt Corral, Bo Scarbrough, Deon Cain, Amari Rodgers, Kenny Robinson and Perrion Winfrey are among the many who have moved between Birmingham and NFL rosters in both directions. A.J. McCarron closed the book as the franchise's final head coach in 2026.

None of these names appear on our jerseys by default. You choose. Most Birmingham Stallions jerseys include free custom name and number, so put an original on the back, or a champion, or yourself.

Legion Field, Protective Stadium and Birmingham Football Culture

Birmingham is the only city in America that has said yes to seven professional football leagues and been let down by all of them. The reason is Legion Field, and the reason for Legion Field is that Birmingham built a stadium far larger than any professional tenant ever needed. Opened in 1927 and known for decades as the "Football Capital of the South," it hosted the Iron Bowl, the Magic City Classic between Alabama A&M and Alabama State, and every startup league that came looking for a southern market with a stadium and an appetite.

That worked when leagues were built on 30,000-seat expectations. It stopped working when the modern UFL decided a 47,000-seat bowl with 8,000 people in it looks worse on television than a 20,000-seat ground with 15,000. Protective Stadium, opened in 2021 as part of the BJCC complex and home to the 2022 USFL hub season, was supposed to solve that and turned out to be built for larger events than spring football draws. The culture underneath has never wavered: in 1985 the city government bought a stake in its own football team to keep it alive, and in 2022 an entire professional league moved itself to Birmingham for a summer because Birmingham was the one market it could count on.

More Frequently Asked Questions About the Birmingham Stallions

Are the 1980s Stallions and the current Stallions the same team?

No. They share a name, a city and a set of licensed marks, and nothing else — no ownership, personnel or corporate continuity. The original franchise ceased to exist in 1986. The name was revived by FOX Sports in 2022. That is exactly why we sell the eras as separate products.

How many championships have the Birmingham Stallions won?

Three, all in the modern era: the 2022 USFL championship, the 2023 USFL championship, and the 2024 UFL championship. The original 1983–85 Stallions never won a title, losing the conference championship game in both 1984 and 1985 to the Philadelphia and Baltimore Stars.

Who won the 2024 UFL championship?

The Birmingham Stallions, 25–0 over the San Antonio Brahmas on June 16, 2024, at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis. It was the only shutout of the season and Birmingham's third consecutive spring-football title.

Why are the Birmingham Stallions leaving the UFL?

The league announced on July 30, 2026 that Birmingham and the Houston Gamblers will not return for the 2027 season, as part of a strategic realignment toward smaller venues. Birmingham averaged 8,248 fans in a 47,100-seat stadium in 2026. The league's stated target is 10,000 to 15,000 fans in buildings that hold 15,000 to 25,000.

Where did the Birmingham Stallions play?

The original Stallions played at Legion Field from 1983 to 1985. The revival Stallions played primarily at Protective Stadium, which opened in 2021 and seats 47,100, with some 2022 games at Legion Field.

What was the Stallions best season?

On record, the 1984 original team at 14–4, or the 2022 revival team at 9–1. On results, 2024 — a championship and a shutout in the first UFL title game ever played.

Who was the Stallions best player?

In the 1980s, quarterback Cliff Stoudt and running back Joe Cribbs, who led the USFL in rushing in 1984. In the modern era, quarterback Alex McGough, the 2023 USFL Most Valuable Player.

What does the Magic City jersey mean?

"The Magic City" is Birmingham's own nickname, earned by the speed at which the city grew after its founding in 1871 on the back of iron and steel. The black Magic City jersey is the team's city-identity alternate.

Is Birmingham Stallions apparel officially licensed?

Ours is. Royal Retros carries officially licensed USFL, XFL and UFL apparel.

How many Birmingham Stallions products does Royal Retros carry?

14 in-stock products — five jerseys, five T-shirts, two hats, a throwback hoodie and a made-to-order satin varsity jacket — spanning all three eras of the franchise. It is the deepest single-team range we carry in the UFL collection.

Will you still sell Stallions gear after 2026?

Yes. We carry the Michigan Panthers, Memphis Showboats, San Antonio Brahmas, New Jersey Generals and Tampa Bay Bandits long after they stopped playing. That said, programs for departed franchises do not get restocked indefinitely — if there is a specific era or size you want, now is the better time.
