The white jersey includes double swooshes on the sleeves that mirror the look of american football jerseys. On top of this we see the crest in a larger size than normal as well as in the center of the jersey which takes on the look of basketball jerseys. The stripes on the shoulders come in a red and blue color with a construction that pays homage to those bold hockey jerseys we have come to know and love.
