The Royal Retros LA Express collection brings them back with throwback jerseys, hats, and tees in the unmistakable royal-blue, gold, and red palette. Free name and number on most styles.

About the Los Angeles Express

The Express were one of the original twelve USFL franchises in 1983, owned briefly by William Daniels before being sold to J. William Oldenburg, an aggressive promoter who immediately began throwing money at the highest-profile young talent in football. In 1984 the Express signed BYU quarterback Steve Young to a contract worth a reported $40 million over 43 years — the richest deal in pro sports history at the time — alongside Heisman runner-up Mel Gray, USC running back Kevin Nelson, and a young offensive line including future Pro Bowler Gary Zimmerman.

On the field the Express went 10–8 in 1984 and reached the conference finals. Off the field, Oldenburg's empire imploded under SEC investigations, the league had to take over the franchise, and 1985 was a death-march of empty Coliseum crowds (one game reportedly drew 7,500), unpaid bills, and players being asked to drive themselves to the stadium. The team finished 3–15 and folded with the league. Steve Young eventually wound up in San Francisco, won three Super Bowls, and made the Hall of Fame — but his cult following with the Express jersey on never went away.
