Hey there CPers. Thought I'd share a neat thing I've been a part of that's finally public today!

As some of you might know, I'm a bit of a jersey nut. So for the past year and a bit we've been working with the London Knights - and the jersey was job #1. Finally seeing it today has been sureal, as I've always wanted to get a piece of this in some way. We've done a few specialty jerseys that were exciting to see on the ice, but seeing their day-to-day come from your screen is pretty cool.

With the 2005 team winning the Team of the Century voting last season, there was a lot of emphasis in recognizing that era of Knights as our inspiration going forward. We had looked at a bunch of different patterns, new and old - but "teams make the jersey" is a sentiment from Hunter this morning that is very true. Before the vote, it was pretty well decided that the early palette was going to make a return - so updating the 2005 jersey with classic elements like a clean shoulder yoke and a bold new palette was a winner.

Thanks for reading

On to the next!
