The Rocky Mountain Rage, the new Central Hockey League team based out of Broomfield, CO, are in their first year of existence. They have a brand new building, a rival they play 12 time this year only 42 miles away, and a mascot that defies description. Oh, and they also have five jerseys.
Five.
First year team.
To start out the season, they had an Away and a Home. Then they added a 3rd, which I think is the best of the bunch.
Then, for Christmas, they wore this:
OK, sure, whatever. It’s a cute idea. Well, they must have had some serious success with their jerseys auction, because the night I went, they wore this:
No, really, hockey players wore that. To be fair… No, I can not be fair. The X-Games were being held 4 hours away in Aspen, but really, is there any excuse for this?
Just to prove that they did wear these jerseys, made by a real jersey company, in a game:
Yep, complete with snow capped numbers. Click on the pictures to make bigger, if you dare. I await an email from the Rage to find out if the jerseys were auctioned for charity, and how the team can be called the Rage with a straight face.
