The Fort Wayne Space Program

A few weeks ago, the Fort Wayne Komets used their social media channels to post their jersey set for the season. There's nothing new about these jerseys that would require major discussion or examination, so it wasn't reported here simply because it didn't make waves. The Komets look like the Komets normally do, and that's good for everyone who is a Komets fan including our favorite Komets fan and broadcaster, Fiona. So why I am posting this today, you ask?

I'm glad you did because we can talk about the fourth jersey that the Komets will be wearing this season. You might be wondering why an ECHL team needs a fourth jersey, and all I can say about that is "they can have one if they want one". I'm not making the decisions for the Komets nor am I their Chief Financial Officer, but they did take to social media to show off their newest aerospace-themed threads!

Not bad, right? These are fun jerseys that can be used for Sunday games or when there's a special theme night being held at the rink. Minor-pro teams, in my view, can be a little more fun with their uniform set because they're minor-league teams, but they still need to look professional. This jersey and logo do that nicely for Fort Wayne, so let's have a little fun with this fourth, lesser-seen jersey!

Frankly, that alternate logo on the front of the jersey should get used more often than it does. That's a fantastic logo for a shoulder patch or hats - specifically a FlexFit style of hat - that should be offered via the store. Of course, I'm no marketing major, but I believe having that logo used through the franchise's looks a little more would benefit them. Of course, you may have different thoughts.

If you do, that's cool. Leave them in the comment below. If you think I'm crazy for liking the logo or this fourth jersey, leave those comments too. We can discuss the merits of having a fourth jersey with the same logo as the other three. Either way, these get a thumbs-up from this writer, so kudos to the Fort Wayne Komets for a solid fourth jersey that's - excuse the pun - out of this world!

Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
