Sodboy13 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Apparently, the Admirals' new thirds have been deemed light enough that opponents can still wear their dark sweaters - remember that it's still white at home in the AHL.

Arts11 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Any reason why the Ads have a Brewers patch on? Are they owned by the same person, or was it some sort of display of support for the Brewers during the playoffs or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarsofthumper Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I think the Brewers have a sponsorship deal with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 They do, I have no idea why they chose to put that logo on the jerseys instead of their official current logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 oddly enough, I didn't know about the Ads' thirds until a couple days ago. and yes, the Brewers are the Ads' main sponsor. While I would've liked to see something similar in design to their early 90s threads, these are alright. I just wish the Ads would get the full dead admiral on the home and away.

benpc21 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The Sound Tigers have been doing color vs. color since last season as their home jersey is orange. This year they added a white alt. Plus, I remember reading years ago that light blue and gold were acceptable "home" colors as far as USA Hockey goes, so maybe light blue falls into that category.

Sodboy13 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 The Sound Tigers have been doing color vs. color since last season as their home jersey is orange.With white helmets and white socks, in a remarkable display of W-T-effiness.

From the AHL's website:The white helmets are not doing the Ads any favors here.I agree with you and think that the biggest problem is the white helmets. They would look better with black, but you can't have two teams with the same color helmets. That would just be way to similar and confusing.

Burmy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 At least the Admirals have their own shoulder logo and don't need to rip off the parent team's one!I'm afraid the AHL is losing its unique identity (at least its teams are) and turning into NHL Lite.
