1976–77 Birmingham Bulls season



The 1976–77 Birmingham Bulls season was the Bulls' 1st season of operation in Birmingham, Alabama after the Toronto Toros relocated from Toronto, Canada. The Bulls finished 5th in the Eastern Division and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Off-season
The Bulls jersey colours for their inaugural WHA season were dark blue, white and red with a primarily white home jersey and a primarily dark blue away jersey. They were essentially the same design as the Toronto Toros had with two differences. First, there were five arm and body stripes instead of three. Second, the word "TOROS" was removed from the arm stripes. The jerseys remained the same for the Bulls three year stint in the WHA.

Pre-season
On September 21, 1976, the Bulls won an exhibition game 7-6 against the Atlanta Flames.
