Griffins reveal new jersey designs

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. โ€“ The Grand Rapids Griffins will take to the ice in new threads this season, as the team on Thursday announced its first jersey design changes since 2015-2016.

While the Griffinsโ€™ logo and color scheme of red, black, metallic silver, and metallic gold are unchanged, red and gold both take on new prominence in the CCM-designed home and road jerseys. The biggest adjustments feature red replacing black on the shoulders and gold replacing silver in the trim, complementing the gold in the Griffinsโ€™ logo, which depicts Griff standing guard over downtown Grand Rapids. Griffins were guardians of gold in ancient lore, making the enhanced use of gold appropriate in the teamโ€™s jerseys.

Red is also prominent in the striping of each jersey, while the font of the playersโ€™ names and numbers has been updated, with the names now italicized. The shoulders continue to feature patches of the Detroit Red Wingsโ€™ logo (left) and the Griffinsโ€™ shield logo (right), whose highlights will eventually change from silver to gold for the 2025-26 season.

โ€œItโ€™s been nearly a decade since we unveiled our current logo and redesigned our jerseys, during which time we won our second Calder Cup championship [in 2017] and built upon our storied legacy as one of the premier franchises in the American Hockey League,โ€ said Griffins president Tim Gortsema. โ€œWith these new modifications to our historic jerseys, we continue to highlight our great partnership with the Detroit Red Wings while holding true to our roots.โ€

The Griffinsโ€™ home jerseys are predominantly white, accentuated by red shoulders and striping, black names and numbers outlined in gold, and black and gold trim. The road jerseys are black with red shoulders and striping, red names and numbers outlined in gold, and white and gold trim. Both versions have a lace neck, maintaining a feature that debuted on the teamโ€™s sweaters in 2015.

The Zone, the official merchandise store of the Griffins, is currently accepting pre-orders for youth ($190, sizes S/M & L/XL) and adult ($197, sizes S-2XL; $215, sizes 3XL-4XL) replica jerseys, which are expected to be in stock and shipped by early October.
