ORLANDO, Fla. — In a combined effort, the ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears, NBA’s Orlando Magic, MLS’s Orlando City, NWSL’s Orlando Pride and AFL’s Orlando Predators are joining forces with the City of Orlando to show everyone that we are #OrlandoUnited.

The black, blue and purple t-shirts ($22 in adult sizes, $18 in youth sizes) will be available starting Thursday, June 16 at the Orlando Magic Team Shop at Amway Center, at a pop-up store at Wall Street Plaza (Thursday, June 16 and Friday, June 17), at the Orlando Solar Bears offices (2200 Lucien Way, Suite 400, Maitland, FL 32751) and their online shop (http://store.orlandosolarbearshockey.com) on Friday, June 17, at Camping World Stadium during the MLS game between Orlando City and San Jose on Saturday, June 18, and at Amway Center during the AFL game between the Predators and Tampa Bay on Friday, June 24.
“Our hearts go out to all that were affected by the tragic events that unfolded on Sunday morning. We are proud to be a member of such a vibrant Central Florida community, and are honored to stand beside our fellow sports teams in remembrance of the loss our city has endured,” said Orlando Solar Bears Chairman & CEO Joe Haleski. “We will certainly emerge stronger as one united community.”
