Team: Cleveland Crusaders
Years Active: 1972–1976 (WHA)
Home: Cleveland Arena (1972–74) · Richfield Coliseum (1974–76) — Cleveland / Richfield, OH

The Cleveland Crusaders were one of the twelve founding franchises of the World Hockey Association (WHA), owned by Cleveland trial lawyer Nick Mileti — who also owned the NBA Cavaliers and ultimately the Indians. The Crusaders played their first two seasons at the aging Cleveland Arena before moving to the new Richfield Coliseum in 1974, anchoring Mileti's growing sports portfolio.

The Crusaders fielded competitive rosters across all four of their seasons and were among the WHA's strongest gate attractions in the mid-1970s, with goaltender Gerry Cheevers anchoring the early-era teams and Paul Shmyr providing veteran defense. Financial pressures and ownership churn led to the franchise's 1976 sale and relocation as the Minnesota Fighting Saints' second incarnation — though the move was ultimately unsuccessful. The Crusaders' four-season Cleveland run remains one of the most distinctive identities in WHA history.

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.
  • 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.

Construction options

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.
