RENEGADES INTRODUCE NEW COLORS, CAP LOGO AND UNIFORMS FOR 2004

FISHKILL, NY --- Beginning in 2004, the Renegades will have a new look. The team has announced a change in team colors, cap logo and uniforms beginning with the 2004 season. The team colors of hunter green and burgundy will be replaced with navy blue and red. There will also be a new cap logo to go along with the new color scheme. The Renegades primary logo will remain the same, and will feature the new team colors.

“We are excited to introduce this new look to our fans,” said Renegades President / General Manager Steve Gliner. “We feel both the new cap, new colors, and new uniforms will be a big hit with everyone.”

The Renegades' original identity was first designed by sports branding veteran Daniel Simon for the team's inaugural season in 1994. Over the past decade, the Renegades have continued to use Simon's Louisville, KY-based firm, Studio Simon, for numerous projects including the design of commemorative logos, secondary team marks and cover art for Renegades Express, the team's official yearbook.

When the team decided to update their look, Renegades President / General Manager Steve Gliner contacted Simon, who created the new cap logo, road jersey lettering and revised uniform designs, and consulted with the team's front office staff to develop the new color system. "Dan has always been great to work with," said Gliner. "He had a great feel for what we were looking for with the finished product. We are very pleased with the new cap logo, uniforms, and colors."

The Renegades will wear the same cap both home and away beginning next season. It will be a navy blue cap with the new “HV” logo that is primarily red with a navy blue and white outline. The “V” will have a raccoon tail attached to the bottom of it.

The new home uniforms will consist of a white sleeveless jersey with the same “Renegades” script logo across the chest that has been on the home uniform for the first ten seasons, however, the logo will feature the new team colors (red in the center with a white and navy blue outline). The jersey will be solid white (no pinstripes), and will feature navy blue and red piping outlining the seams. The uniform number will be navy blue, with a red outline both on the front and back of the jersey. The home uniform pants will be white with navy blue and red piping down each pant leg.

The new road uniform will also feature a sleeveless jersey, and it will be gray with navy blue and red piping outlining the seams. Across the chest will be the words “Hudson Valley,” with the word “Hudson” in red, with a white and navy blue outline, and the word “Valley” will be featured in the familiar lightning bolt beneath the word “Hudson.” The word “Valley” will be white and the lightning bolt will be red with a white and navy blue outline. The uniform number will be navy blue, with a red outline both on the front and back of the jersey. The pants will be gray with navy blue and red piping.

A navy blue short sleeved shirt will be worn underneath both the home and road jerseys.
