Jerseys
| 1972-1976 The team’s wordmark logo said “METROS” in black with light blue trim around the letters, followed by some white and gold squares placed on the letters to represent downtown Burlington buildings. The light jersey features a curved black stripe that goes from the collar to the elbow, followed by a thick gold stripe and light blue cuff. The dark jersey is the same as the light jersey, but the curve stripe is a light blue thick gold stripe and white cuff. |
1976-1980
The team overhauled their look with simple stripes on both the arms and hem. The Numbers is now standard block with trims.
Burlington showed off their new logo featuring a building behind the "METROS" wordmark. One tower has two hockey sticks, and the other has numbers (2,3 and 6) that are a nod to the first 3 stars, Patrick William (2,) Chris Petersons (3,) and Joe Tilburg (6), who were part of the back-to-back Smyth Cup run and the trio went on to a so-far successful run in the pros. The jersey designs got no yokes and added grey to the stripes. The numbers changed to a different font with a trim and a drop shadow trim to go with it.
