San Francisco Bulls to sport old San Jose sweaters
For all you lovers of the original Pacific Teal, the ECHL's San Francisco Bulls are about to make your weekend. The classic San Jose Sharks sweater returns to the Cow Palace ice after 20 years this Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
The Bulls, who are affiliated with the Sharks, will be wearing their parent club's very first teal jersey — only without the awesome shark on the front. In their press release, the Bulls point out that this will be their first time wearing something other than their orange and white jerseys.
If you can get over the ugly crest, the jerseys will be auctioned off during this weekend's games. The Bulls host the Bakersfield Condors for both games on Sat., Feb. 9 and Sun., Feb. 10. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for photos to share.

Here is a picture of some of the players wearing the jersey. Sorry for the bad quality, I had to screencap it from their weekly newsletter.

I'll be trying to get one from the auction this weekend.
And the crest looks much better in person. It's actually starting to grow on me!
Finally, the Bulls will be getting a black third jersey for next season. They are offering it as an incentive to buy season tickets. Basically a complete ripoff of the Sharks thirds, but I actually really dig it. Also a screen cap from a newsletter!

What a horrible combination haha. Well I guess they're pulling for that SJ nostalgia...
I think they'd be better off offering a different attempt at nostalgia and use it for their March 17th game.
Bring back the old San Francisco Shamrocks (PHL) jersey or at least logo for that game. They used to play in the Cow Palace in the 1970s and have a great logo.
