11-8-12: Phantoms Release First-Ever Alternate Jerseys

The West Michigan Phantoms, proud member of the areas hockey scene since 2002, is announcing the release the teams first-official alternate jersey.  For the first time in over a decade, the Phantoms have decided to partner with the teams official outfitter Trophy House in Muskegon to create an altered look for one of the areas longest consecutively operating hockey teams.  While we feel our team has one of the sharpest and most distinguished jerseys in the area, we felt it was the time for this franchise to expand and again continue our stride for professionalism, said team goaltender Kevin Wootton.  The new alternate jerseys resemble that of the former Pittsburgh Penguin jerseys of the NHL, which keep the history of teams Muskegon roots intact and allow the Phantoms traditional colors of Black and Yellow to be altered just slightly to Black and Gold. Having the team just recently surpass the 10-Year-Anniversary mark, the Gold color is a perfect alteration from the traditional yellow to represent the teamwork, dedication, motivation and hard work the Phantoms have become known for.  In addition, Gold has been a valuable and highly sought-after metal since before the beginning of recorded history and we feel this team is a valuable and highly sought-after team for those who have joined the ranks of Phantom Hockey.  The word PHANTOMS is displayed in the same Gold color in a slanted position over the face of the jersey in a heritage-style look.  The player numbers on the back of the jersey are also casted in the Gold color.  We did not want to take away from the strong tradition or heritage of our bright, traditional Yellow and Black jerseys, but wanted a simpler jersey to be able to be worn as an alternate, said Wootton.  Currently, a single goalie-sized jersey has been created and will be used intermittently by the teams goaltender.  Based on the positive reaction received from the players, 13 additional jerseys will be ordered and delivered if the team wants to go forward with his alternate jersey plan.  Expected delivery (if chosen), would be 3 weeks.
