Bears unveil Outdoor Classic jersey

With three special jersey auctions down and two more remaining this season, the Hershey Bears have given their fans plenty of opportunity to purchase authentic sweaters.

On Thursday, the American Hockey League team added a sixth unique uniform auction to the schedule, unveiling its brown and white jersey for the Jan. 6 Outdoor Classic against the Adirondack Phantoms at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

The jerseys – featuring shoulder patches with both Bears and Phantoms logos – will be auctioned after the Jan. 7 home game against Adirondack. Net proceeds from the auction will benefit Hershey Bears Charities.

The team previously auctioned special jerseys commemorating the 10th season at Giant Center (Oct. 15), spotlighting breast cancer awareness (Oct. 30) and honoring their National Hockey League parent club, the Washington Capitals (Nov. 26).

The Bears also will wear unique jerseys that will be auctioned for charity on Dec. 31 (New Year’s Eve) and March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day).

Great write-up as always Dave, but I couldn't be more disappointed with the Bears...again. I don't know who comes up with these designs - and who approves them, but they rarely come up with something good. The Outdoor Classic was a perfect opportunity for Hershey to pay homage to its history, but instead they take the easy way out and slap the cartoon, swatting Bear logo on top of the Outdoor Classic logo. Why not use a vintage-looking logo? A Hershey script or an old Bear logo? Maybe I am too old school, but come on Hershey - we are the oldest team around - come up with something better than this.

Keep up the great work Dave...love the site!

Couldn't agree more with the previous post. What part of this jersey screams "Classic" (except for the actual word pasted on the design)? Was this a student's Word Art project at Hershey High?

Another wasted chance by the Hershey brass to commemorate the storied history of the proudest and most decorated team in the AHL, by paying tribute to teams of the past. ANY of the old designs would have made more sense. Instead, we got a generic piece of clip art.
