Florida hockey team impresses with ugly Christmas sweater jersey night

The Orlando Solar Bears, an ECHL affiliate team for the Toronto Maple Leaves, broke out some rather unique jerseys for their game last night … jerseys that honor America’s ugly Christmas sweater tradition. Check them out:

@BarDown I think the colours helped make this one extra ugly! 😉 pic.twitter.com/nJTxWlLEMU

Ugly? Perhaps. But pretty awesome, too.

Unfortunately, no word if replicas will be on sale anytime soon:

@smonkman I know the team was auctioning them off after the game. Not sure if any were offered online…

And not to be undone, check out these special New Year’s Eve jerseys from the Kalamazoo Wings:
