96-97 RETRO JERSEY ON SATURDAY
🎟 NEXT HOME GAME: SAT 23RD MARCH v SHEFFIELD (7PM) - BUY TICKETS HERE 🎟
The Nottingham Panthers are excited to unveil our retro jersey on Saturday will be from the 96-97 season.
These stunning shirts will be worn by the team as we face Sheffield Steelers in a massive game at the Motorpoint Arena (7pm face-off).
Auction for game-worn jerseys
All the game-worn shirts will be sold via an auction in Saltbox after the game, so a chance for you to get your hands on a real collector's item.
If you can't make it in-person, please email you bid to the office via info@panthers.co.uk before 12noon on Friday (22nd March).
Please note that while the majority will be game-worn, players that do not ice in the game will be player-issued instead of game-worn.
Shirt Raffle
There will be a Shirt Raffle on Saturday instead of the usual Shirt Off His Back, but still with some fantastic and unique prizes on offer.
These won't be game-worn shirts but will consist of 10 replicas with a mix of current players and players from the 96-97 season.

Paul Adey to be Guest of Honour on a night of great memories
Panthers legend - and former player and coach - Paul Adey will be Guest of Honour between two of his former clubs.
The 96-97 season was a memorable one in Panthers history as we lifted the Benson & Hedges Cup.
A second-placed finish in Group C behind Sheffield saw Nottingham reach the knockout stages with four wins in six matches - a group that also contained Solihull Blaze and Peterborough Pirates.
Panthers beat Cardiff Devils 5-4 on aggregate after penalty shots in the quarter-finals, before a 6-3 aggregate victory over the Steelers in the semi-finals.
The trophy was secured with a 5-3 victory over Ayr Scottish Eagles in the final at the Sheffield Arena.
Panthers finished fourth in the Superleague table and also reached the final of the playoffs but were beaten 3-1 by Sheffield in Manchester.
We can't wait to see these shirts for real on Saturday and to welcome you all to the Motorpoint Arena.
Demand for the game - which is sponsored by Flowervision - has been high ever since tickets went on-sale last month and there's currently fewer than 300 tickets remaining.
This game is expected to sell-out so you are urged to purchase your seats as soon as possible.
