Lethbridge, AB - The Lethbridge Hurricanes unveiled this season’s third jersey on “Military Appreciation” night.
Last year, the Hurricanes gave their fans a chance to
submit their design concept for a brand new “third or alternate” jersey
for the 2012-2013 season. The winning entrant, Josh Schroeder, designed his jersey with the “Hawker Hurricane” in mind. Schroeder
decided on a rebrand of the “Hurricanes” name that was more relevant to
the city of Lethbridge and one that would celebrate the history of the
club.
The logo is a silhouette of a Hawker Hurricane in
red. A thick blue circle surrounding the aircraft, the logo subtly
implies the roundel that would have adorned the sides of RCAF Hurricanes
during WWII. Within the blue circle above the aircraft, set in white
and arching with the circle is the word “Lethbridge” and directly below
the aircraft is the word “Hurricanes” set in blue and contouring along
the top to complement the shape of the Hurricanes wings and fuselage.
Beneath the Hurricanes word mark are four white stars
representing each of the Hurricanes Conference Championships, and one
gold star representing the 1997 WHL Championship. In addition to
representing the shape of the RCAF roundel, the circular element ties
the logo to the City of Lethbridge by representing a Chinook arch above
the aircraft and the Old Man River Valley beneath. (Photo Credit: Dawna Welterlich)
