Team: Florida Block Busters
Years Active: Proposed 1992 (never played — became Florida Panthers)
Home: Proposed for Miami, FL

The Florida Block Busters are one of the great "what could have been" names in Legacy Hockey history. When the expansion Miami, Florida franchise was being established in 1992, owner Wayne Huizenga — who at the time owned the video rental empire Blockbuster — proposed naming the team the Florida Block Busters, with a blue-and-yellow color scheme matching the rental chain's branding. A full uniform concept was designed.

The league rejected the corporate-branded name, and the franchise eventually became the Florida Panthers. But the Block Busters concept — with the bold Blockbuster-yellow accents and the name that perfectly captured an early-90s moment — has lived on as one of the most beloved "almost happened" identities in professional hockey design history. Royal Retros' tribute brings the Block Busters identity to life for fans of the era when retail brands almost made it onto major-league sweaters.
