“Our third jersey design is something very special to both myself and this community,” said Comets President Robert Esche. “Our fans continually embodied civic pride throughout our last two seasons – especially during last year’s playoff run – which exemplifies the bright future ahead for not only the Comets but for the City as a whole.”
The Comets green third jersey will be featured in EA Sports NHL 16 video game when the game is released on Sept. 15.
T-shirts with the new logo will be available on Thursday at the Comets Team Store from 12 p.m.-6 p.m. Jerseys will be available to be purchased at a later date.
