The Victoria Salmon Kings, the newest entry in the ECHL today released their jerseys to the public. The look is classic and harkens back to the uniforms of the some of the best-loved sweaters in professional hockey.

Created by SP Apparel of Quebec the jerseys feature a base white for their home sweater and a base of “midnight” blue for the road sweater. The navy is so dark that it may appear almost black under some lighting conditions.

“This is a great look. There’s no diagonal stripes, nothing that screams at you. Just a classic hockey sweater that I think our player’s will be proud to wear,” said Salmon Kings coach Bryan Maxwell. In addition to the base colours you will notice some silver striping that picks up the silver of the salmon and gold striping that is picked up in the crown on the salmon’s head.

Ken Noakes, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Salmon Kings is also excited but the finished product. “We are tremendously proud of the overall appearance of the jersey. We consider ourselves traditionalists and we wanted the look of the sweater to reflect that. We have even gone back to the deep cut neck of the retro jersey’s that have come back into popularity.”

The jerseys are now available for sale from the Salmon Kings offices at 702 Fort St. Both home and road colours area available and each can be purchased as either replicas or pro authentics.

The Victoria Salmon Kings play their first regular season game October 22, 2004 against the Bakersfield Condors. They open their home schedule after an extended 14 game road trip on December 5, 2004 once again against the Bakersfield Condors.
