The Florida Panthers were introduced to the NHL in 1993 and have made one trip to the Stanley Cup finals in 1996 where they lost to the Colorado Avalanche. However, the team continues to build toward a more promising future and Panthers merchandise remains popular throughout south Florida.
Because they are located in a warmer climate, some of the more popular Panthers merchandise is geared toward the outdoors such as hats, t-shirts, golf balls, shorts, and even beach towels. Other Panthers collectibles include authentic team sweaters, pucks and sticks bearing the logo of the team. These items can be found either online or in stores throughout the Miami and surrounding region.
Autographed Panthers merchandise is also very popular. These collectibles make a great gift for a fan of the team or of the NHL in general. Some of the more sought after autographs come from past and present captains such as Bryan McCabe, Olli Jokinen, Pavel Bure, and Paul Laus. Other important signatures from players such as Joe Nieuwendyk and Igor Larionov are also still very sought after and can be a centerpiece of any collection. These items will cost a little more, but will be worth it to a serious collector or fan.
