ECHL: Best.Marketing.Ever.

Oh the ECHL, you can never get tired of their ideas to generate interest in their product. This article points out that the Las Vegas Wranglers (not affiliated with the sexy mom-jeans company) will be wearing prison style uniforms for a game in recognition of the disgraced Govenor from Illinois. What Las Vegas and hockey have to do with Illinois, bribes and corruption, I don't know. What I do know is that any hockey team willin' to rock a white/black striped jersey with fake "prison numbers" on them deserve to be hyped up. If you're living in the Las Vegas area, and love hockey, go check out this game. I'm sure some crazy idiot will actually have a shank on him, so the fights should be interesting. Hell, I'd go to this game just to hear all the terrible "Don't drop the soap" heckles from the crowd. Minor league hockey is always trying zany ideas to get people interested in thier events, and thier quarky ideas are a great part of hockey.

Hats off to dirtystylus for the find.
