Earlier this year, it was announced that professional hockey was returning to Newfoundland in the form of Toronto's ECHL affiliate, the Newfoundland Growlers.

As soon as the logo for the Growlers was unveiled, fans started making concept jerseys for the team and after waiting patiently, the team finally unveiled its jerseys on Tuesday along with its inaugural season patch.

 

The fresh threads look fantastic and similar to some of the fan-made concept jerseys we've seen.

The Growlers will open their inaugural season October 12th against the Florida Everblades.
