Tech Hockey Reveals First of Three New Jerseys

HOUGHTON, Mich. — The Michigan Tech hockey team today unveiled the first of three new jersey designs it will don during the 2012-13 season.

The black jersey, used primarily for road games, features gold lettering along with gold and white striping on the sleeves. It has two shoulder patches—the University seal and an outline of the Upper Peninsula.

All of the new jerseys will use the modern, NHL-style cut.

"A number of people had a hand in designing and creating the new jerseys," said head coach Mel Pearson. "We wanted to include the shoulder patches to honor the tradition and long-standing history of the University and our location in the Copper Country."

The new white and gold jerseys will be revealed in the coming weeks.
