The Trois-Rivières Lions are ready to more into their fifth ECHL season with a new, more traditional look.
The defending Kelly Cup champions and affiliate of the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens unveiled their new uniforms in a video posted to their website and social media channels on Wednesday, September 17. Calling it “the beginning of a new era,” the jerseys use a much more traditional striping template than what the Lions were wearing before.
The Lions’ new blue jersey has the team’s primary logo on the front and white panels on the forearms and waist, through which two red stripes run. The collar is white with red trim. Numbers on the sleeves and back appear to be white with silver outlines.
The white jersey, meanwhile, keeps the Lions’ primary logo on the front but switches up almost every other element. It has a blue shoulder yoke and no striping at the waist. Four stripes of equal width run around each sleeve, with two blue stripes inside two red ones. The numbers appear to be red with blue outlines.
Both jerseys have the Canadiens’ logo on the left shoulder and the logo of their American Hockey League affiliate, the Laval Rocket, on the right.
ECHL teams typically wear white jerseys at home and dark jerseys on the road until the All-Star Game break in January, at which point they switch to dark at home at white on the road. During the playoffs, they switch back to white at home and dark on the road.
Last season, the Lions had three jerseys in their rotation: white, blue and red. Each had the Lions’ primary logo on the front and vertical striping on the sleeves and side panels. The sleeve stripes began under the number and ran to the forearm, where they terminated at a horizontal stripe.
The Lions also released a fifth anniversary logo back in August, marking their entry into the ECHL as an expansion franchise in 2021. It features their primary logo in front of a red V — the Roman numeral for five — with a blue banner across the bottom. The banner has “5e ANNIVERSAIRE” (“5th Anniversary) across the middle in white, with the years 2021 and 2026 on either side.
The Lions begin their ECHL title defence on Saturday, October 11, when they visit the Adirondack Thunder. Their home opener arrives six days later when they host the Reading Royals at the Colisée Vidéotron in Trois-Rivières.
