1966 Uniform Changes
In their first few seasons in the Maritimes, Halifax had been using an artistic image of their helmet as a logo, but Owner, Elliot Hudson, wanted to finally change that. In the offseason, the team came up with a brand new logo to represent the team. It features the front of a boat with the team’s name on the side, on the water during the sunset. The colours for the team remain ocean blue and Athletics’ cream despite the new orange sun in the logo. They also kept the original logo as an alternate mark.
Along with the new logo, the jerseys got a slight refresh as well with a much different striping pattern. Instead of the two stripes (which had been with the franchise back in Worcester since 1951), they now had a block along the top of the sleeve that covered the TV numbers, and then an additional stripe just below it. The new-look goes across both uniforms.
