Special Jerseys

Beginning in 1999, the Thunderbirds began doing special promotions involving unique jerseys which were worn in only one game, then auctioned off to the fans. The money raised goes to the player's scholarship fund. There have been ten of these one-game-only jerseys through 2007, photos of which can be found below.  Interest is very high in these jerseys, and generally the bidding ranges from $500 to $1,500 per jersey depending on the player.  The auction featuring the 2006-07 alternate jerseys was the largest to date, with over $40,000 raised for the scholarship fund and well over half the jerseys selling in excess of $1,000 (Bud Holloway's jersey topped the bidding at $2,750).

In 2001 the team began experimenting with holiday themed warm up jerseys. It was a first come, first served basis, with the first 25 fans to put up $150 receiving a used warm up jersey drawn at random. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Winter jerseys were done for 2001-02.  The 2007 Turn Back the Clock jerseys were issued in a similar way, being offered to the first 25 season ticket holders to sign up.
