MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Admirals will honor its hometown on 414 Day when they host the Chicago Wolves at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 14.

Jersey description

The jerseys feature a navy base with light blue and gold piping on the sleeves, while the Admirals crest of the front of the jersey shows a rising sun similar to the People’s Flag.

Navy Color: The Navy color represents Lake Michigan and our status as a port city and hub of water technology.
Gold Piping: The gold color symbolizes Milwaukee rich brewing history. Once known as the "The Beer Capitol of the World," Milwaukee is affectionately referred to as the "Brew City."
White Disc: The centered disc represents the sun rising over the horizon of Lake Michigan, as seen while looking East from the shore of the city. The sunrise symbolizes hope and a new day. Universally, the color white represents peace and unity.
Blue Stripes: The three stripes in the sun’s reflection represent the founders of Milwaukee and its three original settlements: Kilbourn Town, Juneau Town and Walker’s Point. Their light blue color symbolizes our three rivers: the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic.

The Admirals will wear the jerseys for just the game on Friday, April 14 -- and they will be auctioned off via online auction and the proceeds going to the Admirals Power Play Foundation, the team’s charitable arm.
