Regina Pats Unveil Indigenous-Designed Jerseys for Celebration Night
The Regina Pats will look a bit different tonight when they hit the ice against the Wenatchee Wild.
As a part of the annual Indigenous Celebration Night, the Regina’s WHL team will wear a special-edition, Indigenous-designed jersey. The jerseys, which are adorned with a colourful star blanket design containing both the team’s colours and splashes of orange, were designed by Rodger Ross and his business partner, Quentin Karmark, of 4 Claws Inc.
“I immediately felt it should be this star design – the morning star,” said Ross, member of George Gordon First Nation.
“That eight-pointed star is the celebration of life given to us by the Creator. When we put it in a star blanket, it has that significance, that strength and protection,” said Ross.
