Mustangs Update Logo, Uniforms

After a decade of teams making significant changes to their identities, things slowed down a lot in the summer of 1999. The Detroit Mustangs were the only team to make any changes at all to their primary logo or home and away jerseys. The logo still features the classic white horse but with some detailing added. On the uniforms, the colors have been updated, featuring a darker blue, while the team has also added collar laces to both sweaters, a feature not seen on a home or away uniform since the Philadelphia Redshirts last used it in the early 1980s.



Though there were no other changes made to any home or away uniforms for the 1999-00 season, two teams added new alternate jerseys, while another decided to retire theirs. The Milwaukee Choppers scrapped their orange third jersey, used since 1995, opting to go with only the black road and white home uniforms. The team suggested it may look into another alternate in the future. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Bighorns and New Orleans Sound both unveiled new third jerseys. The Bighorns' black jersey features the same "V" logo found on its' secondary logo, as well as a v-shaped striping pattern on the bottom. The Sound will wear a third jersey unlike any uniform ever seen in the PHL. The jersey is two colors, green on the front and black on the back, with a purple stripe across the shoulders and down the arms, separating the two main colors.


Finally, to commemorate the fast-approaching new millennium, all teams in the PHL will wear a special "PHL2K" patch on the upper-right chest of their uniforms this season. It will mark the first time since the 50th anniversary in 1989 that a commemorative logo will be worn league-wide.
