The ECHL’s Adirondack Thunder are swapping their usual colors for red, white and blue this weekend as they host their annual Military Appreciation Night.
The Thunder unveiled their special edition jerseys for this season’s edition of Military Appreciation Night on Wednesday, November 6. They’ll wear them when they host the Norfolk Admirals on Saturday, November 9.
The base of the jersey is a grey digital camouflage pattern, and the front features the Thunder’s primary logo but with an American flag instead of the hockey stick blade.
The sleeves have blue and white stripes below the elbow and above a red block that extends all the way to the cuff. Over top of the stripes is a blue star with a white outline and drop shadow. The waist has similar striping, but with the red on top and blue running down to the hem. On the back of the jersey, seals of different military branches appear inside the waist stripes.
The collar is blue with white trim and a red triangular insert at the front, which contains a blue star with a white outline. American flags adorn each shoulders. The logo of game sponsor UA Local 773 Plumbers and Steamfitters sits on the right chest.
Numbers on the back and sleeves are set in a red military-inspired block font with blue and white outlines. The nameplate on the back of the jersey is solid white with blue lettering.
The socks have the same grey digital camo pattern as the jersey and striping that matches the sleeves. The jersey was paired with black pants, helmets and gloves in photos posted to social media on Wednesday.
The Thunder host the Admirals at the Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls, New York, on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. The first 1,000 fans will receive a free Thunder Koozie. Game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off live after the game, with proceeds going to VFW Post 2475.
