Where the Journey Took Off

Certain years become permanently connected to hockey history.

They represent beginnings, new traditions and the moment a generation of supporters discovered a team they would follow for years to come.

1979 carries that kind of significance for the story behind this retro-inspired design.

The Takeoff 1979 T-Shirt pays tribute to that early-era energy without relying on modern sports styling. Instead, its vintage aesthetic gives it the character of something a longtime fan might have kept tucked away from hockey's glory days.

It's an easy choice for anyone who enjoys hockey history, throwback graphics and apparel with a story behind it.

Premium Ring-Spun Cotton Comfort

Solid-colour versions are made from 100% ring-spun cotton, delivering a soft feel suitable for everyday wear. Sport Grey uses a 90% ring-spun cotton and 10% polyester blend, standard heathers use 35% cotton and 65% polyester, and Graphite Heather uses 65% cotton and 35% polyester.

The tee features a seamless double-needle collar with high stitch density, creating a smooth surface for detailed printing. Its classic tubular construction is designed to minimize torque and help the shirt retain its shape, while a tear-away label provides a cleaner, more comfortable finish.

The garment is optimized for Direct-to-Garment printing, helping the Takeoff 1979 artwork reproduce with clean detail, vibrant colour and lasting quality.
