HIDALGO, TX: July 17, 2003 – The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees of the Central Hockey League displayed their inaugural home and road jerseys this afternoon at a news conference held at Hidalgo City Hall.

“Each step we have completed, from naming our head coach to announcing a player signing, has built more and more of an identity of the Killer Bees, and today we take another step in developing a visual identity by revealing our team uniforms,” said Killer Bees President / General Manager Trey Medlock .

“Our color scheme is unique to hockey, so our jerseys bring a new look to the game and to the Valley.”

The home jersey is white, with Killer Bee Teal shoulders and bottoms trimmed with gold and black stripes, while the road jerseys are black with Killer Bee Teal shoulders and bottoms trimmed with gold and white stripes. Both jerseys display the Killer Bees logo on the chest, the secondary logos on the shoulder, and the CHL logo on the rear bottom trim. The secondary logo consists of the sun with two palm trees and the initials “KB.” SP Apparel, based out of Granby, Quebec, produced the jerseys.

Under CHL uniform policy, unless granted special permission, teams wear their home (lighter colored jerseys) jerseys at home and road jerseys (darker jerseys) on the road until the CHL All-Star Game and then they switch and wear the lighter jerseys on the road and the darker jerseys at home for the remainder of the regular season. The Killer Bees will also have a select number of specialty jersey nights at home games. On those nights, the team will wear altered jerseys in relation to a special event. For example, the Killer Bees will wear a special Christmas style jersey close to Christmas. Player jerseys will also be auctioned off for fans after the game on specialty jersey nights.

If you would like to arrange an interview with Trey Medlock, in regards to the jerseys, he will be available at the Killer Bees office. The Killer Bees will drop the puck for their inaugural season on October 31st at 7:30 PM as they will host the Corpus Christi Rayz inside the state-of-the-art Rio Grande Valley Events Center. Season tickets and corporate opportunities are available by calling the Killer Bees office at (956) 843-7825.
