Rochester Americans News Release


(Rochester, NY) - The Rochester Americans unveiled today the special-edition jerseys the team will wear when they face the Charlotte Checkers in the Queen City Outdoor Classic, presented by Pepsi, on Saturday, Jan. 13 in Uptown Charlotte.

The event, which will be held at Truist Field, home of the Charlotte Knights Triple-A baseball club, will be the first of its kind in Charlotte and the 12th outdoor game in American Hockey League history.

It will also be the second outdoor game in franchise history for the Amerks, who hosted the Lake Erie Monsters in the premier event of the Frozen Frontier at Rochester's Innovative Field (formerly Frontier Field), home of the International League's Rochester Red Wings, on Dec. 13, 2013.

The vintage jersey features a predominantly all-blue look highlighted by a thick red horizontal stripe across the chest and back with the front showcasing the team's timeless Americans wordmark without the iconic shield. A similar red stripe also accentuates the shoulders, which displays the event logo on either side, while a white lace-up garnishes the neckline.

The jersey is also adorned by a total of 18 stars, with three on each arm, and six more along the bottom and back above another red stripe.

The Amerks will debut the sweaters, which will be up for auction all next week via DASH, on home ice when they host the Springfield Thunderbirds on Saturday, Jan. 20 at The Blue Cross Arena as part of Women in Hockey Night.
