The St. Louis BattleHawks have become one of the most popular and passionately supported teams in modern spring football, earning one of the strongest fanbases in the country across both the XFL and UFL eras. Established originally in 2020 and returning in 2023 with even greater momentum, the BattleHawks immediately set attendance records, dominated local media coverage, and helped re-establish St. Louis as one of America’s most dedicated football cities. With a fast, high-energy on-field identity and a loyal following that turned “KaKaw” into a nationwide chant, the BattleHawks brand quickly became one of the most recognizable alternative-football franchises.
The BattleHawks’ visual identity has become central to their popularity. Their distinctive aviation-inspired branding—featuring chrome wings, clean metallic detailing, and a bold blue, silver, and white color palette—pays tribute to St. Louis’s deep aerospace heritage. The team’s logo and modern uniform design stand out across the UFL, blending military aviator aesthetics with sleek contemporary styling. The BattleHawks look has become a staple in alternative football culture, and fans continue to demand high-quality retro, modern, and concept apparel.
Led in recent seasons by star quarterback AJ McCarron, the BattleHawks developed a reputation for explosive offense, clutch fourth-quarter performances, and a dynamic passing attack. McCarron’s leadership, combined with standout playmakers such as Hakeem Butler, Marcell Ateman, and several rising talents, helped push St. Louis into championship contention and firmly establish the BattleHawks as one of the most competitive teams across all spring football leagues. St. Louis’s high attendance—regularly exceeding 30,000 fans—became a defining part of the franchise’s identity and a clear signal of the city’s enthusiasm for professional football.
The Royal Retros St. Louis BattleHawks Collection celebrates this franchise with a wide range of heritage-inspired and modern fan apparel. The collection features performance football jerseys, premium tackle-twill jerseys, sublimated replica jerseys that ship quickly, vintage-wash T-shirts, athletic-fit shirts, fleece hoodies and crewnecks, snapbacks, trucker hats, dad hats, flex-fit caps, and classic varsity-style jackets. Each item blends comfort and durability with authentic BattleHawks-inspired design cues, including winged iconography, aviation-themed typography, and game-day color blocking.
