Here is what they usually sport on the ice.
Gone is the Nailer logo and the arrangement of gold, black and white and in are the random lines, squiggles, shapes and bright colors of the 1990s.
But, you certainly can’t have a 90’s night without an appearance from Carlton — also known as Alfonso Ribeiro — from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He even added a little flair to the puck drop, helping all those who used to watch travel back in time.
Bravo, @alfonso_ribeiro. Bravo. #90sNight @WheelingNailers pic.twitter.com/BfNYE33BID

And if you closely, “The Nailers of Wheeling” logo across the front of the jersey looks very similar to the hit TV show’s.

But you might need to hurry as more than just fans might swoop in and get one.
We might try to bring one home with us.
Because they are awesome. https://t.co/oZiVeyY5qW
