Hamilton Bulldogs unveil new team colours

Hamiltonians can consolidate their sports-fan colourway preferences after the Bulldogs hockey team unveiled their new jerseys on Sunday: black and gold.

"The Hamilton Bulldogs have been part of the fabric of the city for the past 20 years," said Bulldogs ownerMichaelAndlauer in a press release."It's only fitting that they adopt the colours synonymous with sports in Hamilton."

Ticats fans already have lots of black and gold in their closets. Now they can wear the same colours to root for the Bulldogs.

A 10-year-old namedChristina C. designed the winning jersey in the team's contest.

Black and gold "dominated" the field, the team said.

The team has changed a lot this season. The AHL Bulldogs, affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens,moved to St. Johns, Nfld. to start last season. The team's previous colours reflected that Canadiensaffiliation.

Now the Bulldogs play in the OHL and were previously known as the Belleville Bulls.

"Following the changes to the organization, the new colours signify a fresh beginning for the team," the team said.
