Chicken is the phrase for the American Hockey League’s Windfall Bruins as they bringing some combating spirit from the TV display screen with them to the rink.
One Wednesday, January 31, the Bruins unveiled particular jerseys that they’ll put on for his or her Rhode Island Comic Con Weekend: Friday, February 16, in opposition to the Bridgeport Islanders and Sunday, February 18, in opposition to the Hartford Wolf Pack.
The emblem on the entrance of the jersey combines Rhode Island hockey historical past with the state’s most well-known animated household: the Griffins from “Family Guy.”
The Windfall Reds performed within the Canadian-American Hockey League from 1926 to 1936 and the American Hockey League from 1936 to 1977, and their jerseys featured a pink rooster on the entrance. For 2024, the Bruins have reimagined the rooster because the rooster from “Family Guy,” with whom Peter Griffin has had some epic fistfights all through the present’s run.
The bottom of the jersey is black, with pink squared-off shoulders and a pink collar with black laces. The arms and waist characteristic large pink stripes with narrower white stripes beneath. An RI Comedian Con emblem sits on the fitting chest, whereas a “walking bear” emblem seems on every shoulder wherein the bear seems like Stewie Griffin’s teddy bear, Rupert.
The Reds left Windfall in 1977 to grow to be the Binghamton Dusters. The franchise would finally relocate once more in 1997 to Hartford and grow to be the Wolf Pack — one of many Bruins’ opponents on RI Comedian Con Weekend.
The subsequent version of the Rhode Island Comedian Con takes place November 1 to three, 2024, on the Rhode Island Conference Heart and Amica Mutual Pavilion in Windfall.
