Our River Rats have worn that Jersey a lot over the past few seasons. They typically wear them when they are playing their rivals up the Adirondack Northway (Interstate 87), the Adirondack Phantoms. The Phantoms also wear a specialty jersey during these games against Albany, a photo of which can be found here. The Minnesota Wild will celebrate their 10th anniversary next season. And we all know that no anniversary can be properly celebrated in the NHL without its own branding. Meet the Wild's 10th anniversary logo. It started showing up recently on the team's official website in ads meant to promote 2010-11 season tickets. It's simple — a red X in the form of a pair of crossed hockey sticks with the years 2000 and 2010 in a wheat banner surrounding the primary logo. Gets the job done. The Columbus Blue Jackets are also celebrating 10 seasons in the NHL this fall. However I have not yet come across their anniversary logo. I'm not even certain they'll have one. (But they probably will because it means being able to sell more stuff.) That's not all. I also have a handful of AHL specialty jersey updates. It was subsequently announced that frequent Icethetics contributor Mike Ivall was named the winner and his sweater design would be implemented for a couple of games in late February. That did not happen. The Wolf Pack instead told Icethetics that it would be worn for the final home game of the season on Fan Appreciation Night. That was last Saturday. And the MLB Jerseys looked great. Congrats to Mike! Nice to see an Icethetics artist taking his concept art all the way to the pros. NHL, here we come! And there are a ton more photos on the Wolf Pack's Facebook page if you'd like to see more of the jersey. But nothing really beats a fight pose. he design is similar to their third jersey — a knock-off of the Blackhawks' Winter Classic/third Baseball Jerseys — though it swaps the red and black. And the logo text is replaced with "Support Our Troops." The Penguins defeated Albany 4-3 in the game and now the two teams are facing each other in the first round of the AHL Calder Cup playoffs. The Penguins are also utilizing their Facebook page to provide even more photos for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately none of these guys is in a fight stance, but they're still worth looking at anyway. I though that Hartford picture was old at first glance. The player's pants have the old CCM logo on them. Hartford must be going through some old Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys stock.
