Team: Hartford Whalers
Years Active: 1972–1979 (WHA, as New England Whalers) · 1979–1997
Home: Hartford Civic Center — Hartford, CT

Founded as the New England Whalers in the World Hockey Association in 1972 and relocating to Hartford in 1974, the franchise joined the top tier of professional hockey in the 1979 merger and was renamed the Hartford Whalers. The club built its identity around Hall of Famer Ron Francis, who anchored the team from 1981 to 1991, alongside WHA-era veterans Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, Dave Keon, and Mark Howe.

A small-market club with a passionate New England fanbase, the Whalers were known for their whale-tail logo and the goal song "Brass Bonanza." Despite modest crowds at the 15,635-seat Civic Center, the team remained a fixture of professional hockey for nearly two decades before relocating to North Carolina in 1997.

This is a historical representation of a defunct team, not affiliated with or endorsed by any active team, league, or organization.

Custom Jersey Order Instructions

How to order

  • Type the number and/or name you'd like on the jersey in the customization fields. You can leave the name field blank if you only want a number.
  • Names and numbers are made in ALL CAPS by default. If you want a specific style — such as a lowercase letter or mixed case — please add to the order notes, and/or email custom@royalretros.com.
  • To order a fully blank jersey, check the "Leave blank" box. Blank jerseys still require full production time — we don't keep them in stock.

Important review carefully before ordering

Once your order is placed:

  • Changes can only be made within 48 hours of purchase. After 48 hours, the order has entered production and we can't modify it.
  • Cancellations after 48 hours are subject to a 20% restocking fee.

Many jerseys offer choices like application method (replica/printed vs sewn tackle twill), sleeve length, or add-on patches. The available options appear on the customization screen as you go through it.
