Wolverines to unveil third jersey on January 19

The new jerseys are a tribute to Wolverines teams and the history of the hockey club over the past 100 years. Heritage white, trimmed with Calumet Blue and Copper, the letters “CLK” are blocked diagonally across the front of the jerseys. A badge of Upper Peninsula pride fills out the chest.

Custom designed by Jon Eslinger

The jerseys were designed by Jon Eslinger, owner of DO:BETTER, a brand strategy studio. Eslinger also created the Wolverines current logo, which debuted in 2011 and has been updated for the 2017-18 season. 

“The Calumet Wolverines are special," Eslinger said. "There aren’t many organizations, business or sport, with such a rich history that are willing to take risks and evolve their brand. It’s a privilege to be a part of a team with so much passion behind it.”
