Want to wear your love for the Carolina Hurricanes on your sleeve?

The News & Observer is offering special commemorative T-shirts based on our coverage of the Canes’ Stanley Cup victory.

The selection of short sleeve, white T-shirts includes the popular “Perfect Storm!” front page featuring a celebratory photo of Canes captain Jordan Staal. You also can buy a shirt with the “It’s Ours!” front page that The N&O printed after the previous Hurricanes Stanley Cup win in 2006. There’s even a shirt with Rod Brind’Amour lifting the Cup as a player in 2006 and again as coach this year.

All shirt orders are online only. There are no in-person sales. You can purchase at newsobserver.com/store.

Other T-shirts will be added as additional pages become available so check back regularly.
