My favorite ECHL team, the Gwinnett Gladiators (because of their plethora of college hockey players with Hockey East ties last year), posted their “Tribute to Maragaritaville” jerseys on their Facebook page Tuesday night. They will be wearing them while hosting the Florida Everblades during a 3 game series this weekend. This is also the team’s annual “Pink in the Rink” weekend, where their ice is painted pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.
The Gladiators' Margaritaville Jersey (via the team's Facebook page)
This yellow, teal and brown/burgundy on pink ice is going to be a tad on the color blind side. It’s for a good cause, so we will put this unfortunate color match-up aside. Also, is this the first ever pro hockey jersey to include a parrot?
From the Gwinnett Gladiators website:
“Wasting away again in Margaritaville or do you just wish that you were? Don’t miss this Gladiators special weekend as the team helps raise money and awareness for cancer research and local children’s charities. This year’s theme is Parrot Head inspired as we plan to dip our toes in the sands of good hockey and good fun during the 4th Annual Pink in the Rink Weekend at the Arena at Gwinnett Center.”
