Norfolk Admirals News Release


NORFOLK - The Norfolk Admirals unveiled their new uniform designs for the 2007-08 season at a press conference earlier this afternoon. The Admirals' new uniforms incorporate blue, red and gold colors with the new Rbk EDGE uniform style.

"We feel very proud of the new jerseys that the Admirals will don this October," said Admirals Vice President Mark Bernard. "In designing this jersey, we felt it was important to incorporate components of former Admirals jerseys with some of the newer ones. In addition, it was important to us as an organization that we form our own identity - just like the Hersheys and Rochesters of the AHL who have a distinct jersey. This was a long process where we went through approximately 15 designs before deciding on the current design, which we are extremely happy with."

The Admirals home jersey is primarily white with red, blue and gold trim. The road jersey is primarily blue with white, red and gold trim. Both jerseys will continue to use the Admirals battleship logo that has been in use since the 2004-05 season.

Earlier today, the American Hockey League announced that all member clubs will wear Rbk EDGE uniforms starting this season. The National Hockey League will also begin to use the Rbk EDGE uniforms in 2007-08. The Rbk EDGE Uniform features technologically-advanced materials and fabrics that are more breathable, more resistant to water absorption and offer greater range of motion for today's hockey player. More than two years of extensive research, development and testing were performed by Reebok, with player feedback integral to the process.

"I feel that Rbk has done a terrific job with the new EDGE jerseys," said Bernard. "The new designs and different features will both look better and enable our players to perform better. Rbk was of great assistance with us in the design process of our new look. Their input proved to be very valuable."

The Admirals will open their eighth season of American Hockey League action and first season as the top affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday, October 5, at Philadelphia. The Admirals will come to Scope for the first time in 2007-08 on Friday, October 19, versus the Binghamton Senators. Season tickets, twenty-game plans, ten-packs and group tickets for the 2007-08 season are on sale now through the Admirals' office and through the Admirals' website.
