An interesting, unusual look to say the least.
Other hockey teams are not shy about their jersey attire as a junior hockey team, the Muskegon Lumberjacks, from last year sported a different look.

Arguably one of the most memorable, awful jerseys in recent memory has to go to the minor league baseball team, the Jackson Generals, who wore a Dorothy-themed ‘Wizard of Oz’ jersey.
