To borrow a phrase from Freddie Mercury and Queen, “We are the champions, my friend.” Well, we aren’t. However, our city’s National Hockey League team, the Vegas Golden Knights, certainly is! So, if you’ve been supporting this Vegas-born team since its inception in 2017, you’ll want to show your pride.
Being that the Golden Knights are the NHL’s 2022-2023 Stanley Cup Champions, I thought I’d browse the internet for some championship gear for the upcoming season. After all, what’s the point of rooting for your favorite team if you can’t boast a little when they win it all?
Vegas Golden Knights: Quickest Expansion Team To Win A Stanley Cup
Not only are Las Vegans proud and excited to be able to claim that we live in a championship city, but we can also boast that our team was the quickest expansion team to win a Stanley Cup.
As a matter of fact, the Vegas Golden Knights sipped champagne from the Cup in their sixth season. Before they accomplished that feat, the Philadelphia Flyers were the quickest NHL expansion team to win a championship. They skated around the ice with Lord Stanley’s trophy in their seventh season.
Vegas Defends Their Title And Attempts To Repeat
As special as the Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup victory is, I think it’s also pretty amazing they won in their sixth season as management promised. Certainly, that’s unheard of in professional sports. So, now the goal is to successfully defend that title and attempt to repeat the feat.
Since 1990, only four NHL teams have managed to become repeat champions. The Pittsburgh Penguins, led by future Hall-of-Famers Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr won two straight Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992. Later that decade, the Detroit Red Wings, captained by Steve Yzerman, recorded consecutive championships in 1997 and 1998.
Henceforth, during the “Salary Cap Era” which began in 2005-2006, the only teams to win consecutive Stanley Cups are the Pittsburgh Penguins, led by captain Sidney Crosby, in 2016 and 2017. Then, the Tampa Bay Lightning repeated the feat in 2020 and 2021.
Accordingly, let’s check out what we’ll be wearing when the Vegas Golden Knights attempt to repeat the feat of winning a Stanley Cup championship in consecutive seasons.
Stanley Cup Champions Hoodie
This hoodie says it all: 2023 Stanley Cup Champions. It features a subdued, classic look. Nothing outrageous. Just the fact that the Vegas Golden Knights are champs.
Women's 2023 Stanley Cup Champions Lace-Up V-Neck Long Sleeve
This is a great look for the ladies. Any lace-up shirt reminds me of “old-time hockey.” You get the Vegas Golden Knights shield emblem on the front, and a cool-looking “2023 Stanley Cup Champions” logo on the back.
Stanley Cup Champions Rally Cry Long Sleeve T-Shirt
The Vegas Golden Knights marketing team really did a fantastic job of selling the team’s Stanley Cup Playoffs rallying cry of “UKnight The Realm!” And then, once the team sipped from Lord Stanley’s chalice, our hometown heroes could proclaim that: “The Realm Is UKnighted!” This t-shirt keeps that championship boast alive all season long.
Black Golden Knights Championship Line Up Bootleg Style T-Shirt
You’ve seen the Stanley Cup championship photos all over social media. The team photo. The photos of each player skating with the coveted trophy. Even Conn Smythe trophy winner Jonathan Marchessault skating with his award. This t-shirt displays many of these photos in an eye-catching collage.
Vegas Knights Stanley Cup Ornament
You probably won’t wear this ornament, but you can if you want. However, it’s really meant to spruce up that Christmas tree. The full-color ceramic ornament features the likenesses of all your favorite Vegas Golden Knights players who went on that amazing run to capture the Stanley Cup. Plus, the championship trophy is set right in the middle of the ornament. Merry Christmas!
Men's Vegas Golden Knights 2023 Stanley Cup Champions Hat
We all watched our team celebrate their Stanley Cup championship on the ice, and on into the locker room. Here’s a charcoal adjustable hat that matches the one worn by Vegas Golden Knights players in the locker room while they were dousing each other with champagne.
