Wranglers Roll Out New Uniforms
Wednesday · Oct 10 · 2012 | 12:51 AM PDT
Back in July, we got our first look at the new look of the ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers. The team kept its color scheme but launched a whole new set of logos. Then last week, they debuted their new home sweater during a preseason tilt which introduced us to even more logos! But more on that in a sec. First, take a gander at the new uniform.
Wow, is it red! Really red. As Icethetics reader Jeannette H. pointed out, what ever happened to finding that balance in your color palette? Before this, the Wranglers wore almost solid black. Now they've swung completely the opposite way.
Add to that, I count four different logos on that uniform, including the ECHL 25th anniversary patch on the right arm.
So between the graphic above and the one to the right, we have our logo bases covered — the crest which prominently features Las Vegas in giant letters, the shoulder patch made up of a big W, a tiny LV and the new shield shape (new since the July unveiling), and finally the 10th anniversary logo comprised of a pair of fives.
For a better look at the Wranglers' new red road jersey, reader Matt McCall sent in this shot from the team's merchandise counter. It's the same design as the white with the colors flipped.

Nothing earth-shattering in Vegas, but now we know how the Wranglers will look this year.

really, is this the best they could do? all the black in the logos and not a drop on the jersey. then red pants, gloves, and helmets. got to say very disappointing.
Maybe too much red, but a sharp look nonetheless.
The jerseys are a little bland for my tastes.
Basically just the Peterborough Pete's uniforms with the change to red from maroon. Classic look and style, I'm a fan! As for the logos, not so much.
terrible, just terrible......
Will they be selling shirts that say "I'm NOT a fan"? Because I am not...
Doesn't look like a wrangler -- more like a detective!
I like these. I think it's funny to see people complain about the red when all I can think about are the Red Wings...one of the most traditional, clean sweaters in hockey.
I like these...clean. For me, sometimes simple is more!
I think black piping to separate the red and white would be an improvement. Otherwise, I'm a fan of simple sweaters like these.
I'm a fan of the jerseys. I still wish the logos were a little better but still not a bad look. And I like the tenth anniversary logo. Very creative.
This has to be the result of the Red Wings and 70's Leafs spending a night in Vegas
would wanna se the wranglers in Montreal inspired uniforms with the blue being black, but these look sick as well
I like how they have a very Detroit-ish style but avoided the easiest route and stole the Wings jersey and did something different
This is phenomenal! More teams need to move away from the excessive black and navy and deep shades and be more like this! It's got enough black to distinguish it in the logo, but the amount of red is just eye catching and sharp looking.
They ruined one of the best sweaters/logos in minor league hockey. Horrible.
