Las Vegas Gladiators News Release
Las Vegas, NV, December 2, 2003 â The Las Vegas Gladiators of the Arena Football League unveiled their new game uniforms today in a fashion show at Gordon Biersch Brewery. The uniforms were modeled by Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and Gladiators' quarterback Clint Dolezel. In addition, Gladiator Girls Vicki, Jenny and JT modeled a new-look Gladiator Girls jersey.
Keeping the same basic color scheme, the Gladiators uniforms will change in looks from the 2003 version. Gone are the metallic gray pants and single colored jerseys. They are replaced with black pants, for both home and away games, red and black jerseys for home games and white and red jerseys for the road. The Gladiators' helmet and logo will remain the same.
The uniforms were created by SFC USA Inc., out of Las Vegas.
The Gladiators have entered into an apparel agreement with SFC USA Inc. for the 2004 season which will include uniforms, t-shirts and other promotional apparel. With more than 32 years of experience providing team, club and corporate apparel, SFC USA Inc. is the fastest growing apparel company in the Southwest.
Replica jerseys will go on sale today only at Uniform Sports at the Boulevard Mall. Uniform Sports is located at 3452 Maryland Parkway, just outside Sears.
The Gladiators are now Armed & Dangerous to challenge the AFL Western Division with All-AFL quarterback Clint Dolezel and the most prolific receiving core in the Arena Football League, which includes newcomers Terrill Shaw and Marcus Nash.
Often recognized as one of the nation's most affordable and fan-friendly sports leagues, the Arena Football League will begin its 18th season in February 2004, making it the second-longest running football league in U.S. history, trailing only the NFL. On the strength of its Mission Statement and Fans' Bill of Rights, the AFL is America's fastest growing sport. The Austin Wranglers joins the Philadelphia Soul and New Orleans VooDoo as the three expansion teams added for the 2004 season. At least two more teams will be added in each of the next two seasons. A network-TV sport, the AFL will celebrate its second season on NBC in 2004.
