Just like it is in baseball’s lower levels, minor league hockey teams need an extra hook to bring in the crowds, usually leading to bizarre jersey’s (here and here) or other outlandish promotions (here and here), the crazy new one of the moment this week is from the Bakersfield Condors who are planning to honor Michael Jackson at their game tonight against the Utah Grizzlies.
The Jackson-themed uniforms are pretty awful, but the really terrible part of their promotion will be the single white glove that each player will wear. The promotion will also feature an auction and a raffle and the uniforms will be auctioned to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network.
If your name is Michael Jackson or Billie Jean you’ll also get free admission to the game so, at least there’s that.
I could have just combined this with the Canadiens awful jerseys, but I actually LIKE this idea so it gets its own post. As ever, the world of minor league sports continues to entertain with their creative and fun promotional evenings, this time courtesy of Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL.
