Hershey Bears Introduce New Home and Away Jerseys for 2024-25 Season
The Hershey Bears have revealed a fresh look for their upcoming 2024-25 season with updated home and away jerseys. The new design combines a classic and streamlined appearance while staying true to the team’s iconic Chocolate and White color scheme, with cream accents adding a touch of sophistication. The jerseys have been revamped to feature a simplified template that prominently displays the club’s primary logo as the crest. Bold horizontal striping and contrasting-color shoulder yokes are key elements of the new design, which has done away with vertical piping and underarm gussets to achieve a sleeker aesthetic.
Bryan Helmer, the vice president of hockey operations for Hershey, expressed excitement about the new jerseys, emphasizing how they pay homage to the team’s rich history while also looking ahead to a promising future. The refreshed look is set to make its on-ice debut during what is anticipated to be another thrilling season for the Bears as they aim for a third consecutive Calder Cup title.
One notable feature of the jerseys is the continuation of the club’s alternate paw print logo on the left shoulder, a fixture since 2012. On the right shoulder, the logo of the team’s NHL affiliate, the Washington Capitals, takes pride of place. The longstanding partnership between the Bears and Capitals has been fruitful, with the Bears clinching the Calder Cup five times since the two teams joined forces in the 2005-06 season, including back-to-back wins in 2023 and 2024. This successful collaboration has seen the Bears sport the Capitals logo as a shoulder patch, a tradition that dates back to their championship victories in 2009 and 2010.
Fans eager to sport the new jerseys can purchase authentic versions online through HersheyBears.com, with replica jerseys set to be available soon both online and at the Hershey Bears Team Store at GIANT Center. Details regarding the release of replica jerseys will be communicated through the team’s official website and social media channels in the coming days.
The Hershey Bears will showcase their new jerseys for the first time in the regular season on Oct. 19, donning special Back-to-Back Calder Cup Champions jerseys during the opening weekend. Additional information about these specialty jerseys and others planned for the 2024-25 season will be disclosed in due course.
As the back-to-back Calder Cup Champions, the Hershey Bears are gearing up for another exciting season, with tickets for all games now available for purchase. Fans can find more information about the upcoming season on HersheyBears.com, where updates on jersey availability and other team news will be shared.
