Phantoms reveal redesigned jerseys

The Philadelphia Phantoms, in conjunction with the Philadelphia Flyers and the American Hockey League, today revealed their new Rbk EDGE game uniforms for the 2007-08 season.The new uniforms represent the first major redesign in Phantoms history of the team's primary white and black sweaters. Both jerseys retain the traditional Phantoms crest, the Phlex patches on the shoulders and the same style of letters and numbers that have adorned Phantoms jerseys for the past 11 years. The major changes to the jersey lie in the new Rbk EDGE construction, which will give the Phantoms a new modern and streamlined look. Instead of purple shoulders trimmed in orange and black, the shoulders on the new jerseys are the same color as the jersey body. The torso of the jersey is "ringed" in purple, with a wide purple stripe going up each side of the jersey before splitting where the sleeves meet the torso. In the front, the purple stripe tapers to a narrower stripe that ends at the neck. On the back, the stripe continues up each side and ends at the neckline, forming a wide purple area that will hold the player nameplate. A black stripe trims out the area where the purple meets the jersey body in the shoulders. Like the old design, the EDGE jersey has purple and orange stripes at the end of each sleeve, but the stripes are wider and reach further up the sleeve than before. The collar of the jersey is trimmed in orange. On the back, the Rbk and AHL logos have migrated from the lower right corner to the lower center. "We know that tradition is important to hockey fans in Philadelphia," said Phantoms COO Frank Miceli. "When we went through the design process, we wanted something that would retain the main features of the original Phantoms uniforms while also launching the next chapter in Phantoms history. We believe the new design captures that spirit, and we're extremely happy with the new look."

Rapid City Franchise Has A Name

Phoenix, AZ - Rapid City Professional Hockey has a name! The expansion franchise in Rapid City, South Dakota, slated for play during the 2008-09 season, announced on Thursday that they will be known as the "Rush". Rapid City General Manager Jason Rent made the announcement. The name was voted on in a name-the-team contest and was the winning selection of four potential names. Hundreds of applicants submitted team name suggestions with the final four being the Rush, the Bison, the Choppers and the Road Hogs. The Rush was the clear-cut winner gaining more than double the number of votes of the second choice, the Bison. "The response to the name-the-team contest went beyond our expectations," said Rent. "The support for naming the team Rapid City Rush was overwhelming. We certainly did not anticipate such a lopsided result, but we now feel we have a name that the majority of the community will be proud of." The name Rush goes hand-in-hand with Rapid City's proximity to Historic Mount Rushmore. Entrants whom submitted the winning team name were each entered into a grand prize drawing for VIP treatment at a home game during the team's opening season. The grand prize winner is Cathy Quinlivan of Rapid City. The grand prize includes limo service to and from a Rush game, two premium seats, participation in the ceremonial puck drop and two team jerseys. With the team name in place, additional announcements dealing with the team's logo, colors and mascot will be made in the coming weeks.
