This jersey is full of 90s flair as it sports one of the greatest logos in minor league hockey history. The Kentucky Thoroughblades™ first took the ice at Rupp Arena in Lexington for the 1996-97 season. The team's signature colors of teal, purple, and silver were unique in their own right but the angry, muscular horse on skates really made their uniforms one of the most unique in all of pro sports.
We've recreated the Thoroughblades teal road jerseys from their early years as accurately as we can using modern production methods. The jersey is fully embroidered with a super detailed logo crest across the chest. As a special touch, we've added dual shoulder patches of a puck and horseshoe logo that was used by the team during these years.
