SHARK TRADITIONS
They've taken on a life of their own


Winning
You can't manufacture tradition, and no franchise has set the standard like the Sharks.

Shark Blue & Championship Orange
The fabled team colors of the Sharks since their inception. While the blue has varied over the years, the standard of excellence met by those that wear them never have.

The Macarena
This creature of pop culture stands as a painful reminder of how long America waited for the Sharks to start claiming their next series of championships.

Thanksgiving Day Game
Since 1988, the Florida Sharks have been featured as one of the two SFL teams partaking the the traditional Thanksgiving Day game, and Florida holds an impressive record in this contest.

The Frandor Marvin Harrison BK
Located in the Frandor Shopping Center in Lansing, Michigan, the drive-thru lane of the Burger King is where Marvin Harrison was officially drafted during the 1996 SFL College Draft.

The Wall of Aaron Brooks
A mythical creation rumored to someday adorn a wall of the Owner's trophy room.

The Calvin Johnson Bridge
Located in Tampa, Florida, the Calvin Johnson Bridge is the east-bound, elevated expresslane out of the city where the trade to acquire the number one pick in the 2007 SFL Draft that landed Calvin Johnson was completed by phone.

Power Montage
Discovered while driving the backroads of Texas on the way to the 2018 Final Four in San Antonio, this NFL Films classic by Keith Mansfield became the official introduction music of Patrick Mahomes.

The Captain's "C"
Instituted in 2006, the Sharks bestow the honor of team captain to a member of the team who best exhibits the excellence demanded by the franchise. In honor of former rival Cincinnati, the "C" is an exact replica of their old logo.

Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah, Hey, Hey, Hey, Good Bye...
The song by Steam once featured on MTV's Remote Control was used by the team after winning titles over Cincinnati in the 90's in response to hearing the same song when losing to California in SFL Bowl III.
