ALTERNATE / HOLIDAY  UNIFORM

ALTERNATE / HOLIDAY   HELMET & LOGO

The Bandits have announced a new Alternate/Holiday uniform, including new logo and helmet, for the 2007 season.  The old Alternate uniform (Nevada Silver Mining Commemorative Heritage Uniforms) was adopted last year as the new home uniform, and 2006 saw the team not use an Alternate (or Third) uniform.

The new Alternate/Holiday uniforms hearken back to the defunct XFL's Las Vegas Outlaws, who were wildly popular and whose local success prompted the move of the Bandits from Sacramento to Las Vegas.  The adoption of the new Alternate/Holiday uniforms come too late for any former XFL Outlaws players to wear, with LB Joe Tuipala having been released last month.

"We've received a lot of fan requests for these while researching what we should use as a third uniform," said Bandits GM Patricia Willis.  The more we looked at the basic design, the more irresistible they became.  Our phones are already ringing off the hook for a fan memorabilia release date, so obviously we think these will be very popular.  We're hoping that these uniforms might help us make some inroads into new markets as well."

The targeted release date for fan memorabilia is by the end of the year, so fans can start wearing their new team gear to 2007 games.  "We are still considering adding in a true 'throwback' uniform, to the original Sacramento Bandits design.  We still have approval on file from the original designer, so there shouldn't be a licensing problem.  This would be a real tip of our hats to our original fans, and allow them to break out their original Bandits fan gear with pride, especially now that we are returning Training Camp back to the greater Sacramento area."
