| Brayden Pachal wears a throwback Raiders jersey in Feb. 2019. |
With a late
release that was sent at 9:29 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2, the WHL issued a
statement about the Raiders new alternate uniforms that were unveiled one day
earlier. They were patterned after jerseys the club wore from 1982 to 1996.
The
statement seemed to bring an end to the Raiders continuing use of their
traditional logo with the Arab on skates caricature.
While
Raiders followers were disappointed over this decision, it doesn’t erase the
memories the team created. That old logo was drawn up part way through the
1973-74 season, when the Raiders were still playing in the junior A ranks.
