HURRICANES UNVEIL NEW JERSEYS AT FAN JAM IN GREENSBORO

8.18.1997

          An estimated 5,000 people attended the unveiling of the
     Hurricanes' new jerseys at the Hurricanes' Fan Jam Saturday
     at the Greensboro Coliseum, according to Rick Dorsey of the
     Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER.  The home jerseys are white; the
     road jerseys red.  The Fan Jam, the first team-sponsored
     event, "served as another step in a public-relations effort
     to improve sales for its temporary home in Greensboro." 
     Fans were given the chance to tour the Coliseum and choose
     potential ticket locations, and the Hurricanes estimate that
     20 season tickets were purchased at Fan Jam.  Hurricanes GM
     Jim Rutherford wouldn't say how many season tickets have
     been sold, but he said he does expect a sellout for the home
     opener (Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER, 8/17).
