Rebels unveil new fourth jersey

Nov 2, 2017 | 1:24 PM

The Red Deer Rebels have unveiled a new fourth jersey.

The new threads will be worn for the first time when the Rebels return home from a seven game road trip on November 18 to face the Kootenay Ice.

The “4th” jersey will serve as the alternate white jersey for seasons to come, the club says, while all three existing uniforms will remain in rotation.

“With the jersey reversal system in place across the WHL, it becomes difficult to wear our burgundy jersey in the second half of the season,” explained Rebels Sr. Vice President Merrick Sutter.  “The response to the alternate “skull” uniform by our fans and players has been incredibly positive, we wanted the opportunity to showcase that brand more consistently throughout the season.”
