The Santa Bears are coming to town.
Orlando of the ECHL will get in the festive spirit when they sport these Beary-good Santa-suit uniforms for their teddy-bear-toss game against Florida on Friday.
Friday will mark the Solar Bears' annual ugly-sweater game, and the St. Nick getups include red sweaters, pants and socks, each with fluffy white trim. The jerseys, which will be auctioned off after the game, include faux buttons down the front and a belt-like feature across the waist.
Fans in attendance who wear ugly sweaters can compete in an in-arena contest and those who bring bears will be able to toss them on the ice after Orlando's first goal Friday. The bears will be donated to Central Florida children in need.
