On February 2, 1954, Detroit faced off against a team from the prison, the Marquette Pirates -- aka Emery's Boys -- named after the prison's warden. The story goes that Jack Adams and Ted Lindsay visited the prison as a goodwill gesture, and were asked to come back later on and play a game there. It seemed unlikely at the time since the prison didn't have a rink. But some months later the prison's athletics director built a rink and invited the team back to play. And play they did. Hall of Famers like Gordie Howe, Lindsay, Terry Sawchuk, and Sid Abel took the ice against the Marquette Pirates™ inmates.

Black joggers with the team's logo on the hip and cream stripes above the cuffs. Fleece pants for the walk to the rink and the rest of the winter.

Black with the cream skull-and-crossed-sticks Marquette Pirates crest and cream hem stripes

The Pirates were the inmate team at Marquette Branch Prison in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. On February 2, 1954, the Detroit Red Wings played them on the outdoor rink inside the prison walls in 21-degree weather, with about 600 inmates watching: the first outdoor game featuring an NHL team.
