To properly celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, the Hershey Bears wore green jerseys during their home game against the Springfield Thunderbirds, Saturday night.
The jerseys featured different-hued vertical green stripes and four-leaf clovers on the sleeves. The Bears auctioned off the one-off sweaters after the team’s 4-2 victory to fans.
Here’s a closer look at the design.
