ECHL Team Unveils “Greatest Jerseys in the World”

The Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL (Edmonton Oilers affiliate), most recently infamous for their on-ice promotion snafu which led to the visiting team being attacked by a real live condor just before puck drop, unveiled what they themselves are referring to as the “Greatest Jerseys in the World”.

“We consider these to be the greatest jerseys in the world. These are the most expensive game jerseys in the history of the ECHL and possibly all of hockey. We think our fans, players, and feathered friends will welcome them with open wings.” – Bakersfield Condors President Matthew Riley

If you equate “most expensive” with “the greatest” then, sure, I guess he’s right. But then again the New York Yankees have had the most expensive roster in baseball over the past decade or so and have been anything but “the greatest” in that span.
