Note: I didn’t know WAR (Wins Against Replacement) was the new, single, stat that determines a players production?

The Braehead Clan…

Crippy Hockey , ,

breaks out kilt-themed hockey uniforms.

From The Hockey News:

Four of the EIHL’s clubs reside within Scotland, and one of those clubs, the Braehead Clan, pulled out special jerseys to celebrate St. Andrew’s Day, a day of food, music and dance, this past weekend.

As part of their celebration of the national holiday, Braehead hit the ice in amazing custom jerseys that were built to make each skater appear to be wearing a kilt. Complete with awesome purple plaid pants, socks and a sash across the jersey, they’re an absolutely incredible special event jersey. Take a look:
