The California Golden Seals were hockey's most colorful misfit franchise — and that's exactly what makes them legendary. From 1967 to 1976, the Seals played in Oakland with white skates (an innovation way ahead of its time), bold teal and gold jerseys, and a roster that included characters like Charlie Finley's ill-fated ownership era. The Seals were never great on the ice, but their aesthetic was ahead of its time and their legacy has become one of the most collectible in hockey history. Original hockey counterculture.
This officially licensed NHL hockey tank carries California Golden Seals Classics colors and logos on lightweight polyester, with none of the weight of a hockey sweater. It's made for the hockey fan's summer: the BBQ, the bar, the beach, a pickup game, and the couch when it's too hot for sleeves.

- 100% Polyester
- 100% Machine Wash Safe

The Seals joined the NHL in the 1967 expansion, and Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley made them the California Golden Seals in 1970, dressed them in green and gold and put them in white skates. They were also the first NHL team with players' names on the backs of their sweaters. The franchise moved to Cleveland in 1976.
