The Hershey Bears donned their third jerseys for the first time this season when they took on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Tuesday.
The cream-colored sweaters first made an appearance during the 2016-17 season and will be worn four more times this season.
THEY. ARE. BACK.
Our third jerseys return on Tuesday for the first of five games this season!

The design is a nod to the Bears sweaters from the 1950s.

We first caught a glimpse of these beauties again when Bears forward Garrett Pilon revealed that they were back a little earlier than maybe he should have.
did one of our players really just leak that our third jerseys are back? https://t.co/60wRS95AWr

The team plans to give some of the jerseys away straight off the players’ backs when they wear them for the final time this season on April 24 as part of their Fan Appreciation Night.
You love our third jerseys so much we’re giving them to you!
