Jersey boys

By definition, a uniform is a prescribed set of clothes.

But since way back, the Hershey Bears have changed their jersey designs often, frequently from year to year. On top of that, the American Hockey League club – as many professional hockey teams do – has featured numerous specialty jerseys.

Besides introducing a white third jersey for 2011-12, the Bears have raised more than $200,000 – much of it benefiting charities – by donning specialty jerseys and then selling them to the highest bidder in post-game auctions.

We compiled the Bears’ numerous looks this season in our latest photo gallery.

I like the home, road and thirds. I do, however, hope to see some vintage 'skating bear' throwbacks next year as home and road for the 75th anniversary season.

The Outdoor classic jerseys had so much potential but fell short I think. Look at all the the vintage logos the Bears have to choose from and they just used the generic logo from the game. I didn't like that. I did like the style of the jersey itself though, just not the logo.

As for the rest of the charity jerseys. I love that the Bears auction these and give the $ to charity. It is obviously for a great cause. That being said, I think the design of these is getting worse year after year. I didn't think there was any nice ones in the whole bunch personally.
