Knights to Wear Special Jerseys on Several Occasions
(Fort Mill, SC) -- On a select few nights this season, fans of the Knights may not recognize the team. That's because they will be wearing unique uniforms in support of some very special causes. Throughout the season, the Knights will sport camouflage jerseys in support of the USO of North Carolina, pink jerseys for Carolinas' Health Care Foundation, and also jerseys for Autism Awareness Night and for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
As part of their military tribute, Knights players will wear camouflage jerseys at each of the five Military Appreciation games beginning with the season opener on Thursday, April 5, followed by May 27, May 28 (Memorial Day), Sept. 2 and Sept. 3 (Labor Day).
