Cedar Rapids, Iowa- The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders will debut brand new Rockwell Collins warm-up jerseys prior to the Riders' game Saturday night against the Chciago Steel.

The jerseys will be auctioned off to benefit the United Way at the end of the season.

"We're very excited to be able to team up with Rockwell Collins to outfit the team in these warm-up jerseys," said RoughRiders Vice President of Operations Jim Calpin. "We are also very happy that our partnership with Rockwell Collins has made it possible for us to assist the United Way through the end-of-season jersey auction."

The white warm-up jerseys are trimmed in green and feature the Rockwell Collins logo across the chest and the RoughRiders' familiar horseshoe crest on the shoulders. The Riders will wear them for the first time during pre-game warm-ups prior to this Saturday's meeting with the Steel and will don them again before all home games the rest of the season.
