Oprah said, "If the ocean had a voice, it would be the voice of WT Greer". WT's passion for family, life, love, and romance can be heard in every song he sings.

Bambata of YK1K Young Kings designed a specialty Black History Night logo to be used on jerseys for auction, the Commemorative Poster and a merchandise collection featuring hoodies, shorts, a men's and women's jacket and a t-shirt. Merch will be available at Hangar locations and online at hangharhockey.com. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Young Leaders Strong City.

The logo design is inspired by Mud Cloth (Bogolanfini), one of the most significant and respected textiles in African culture. Mud cloth originates from Mali, West Africa, with roots dating back to the 12th century. Traditionally handcrafted using handwoven cotton and natural fermented mud dyes, each pattern carries meaning, symbolism, and storytelling. Historically, it was worn by hunters, warriors, and elders, representing strength, protection, identity, and heritage. Because of its deep cultural significance, symbolism, and craftsmanship, mud cloth has become one of the most recognized and celebrated textiles globally. Bambata felt it was fitting to translate this legacy into a jersey—something that represents unity, strength, history, and pride, much like the game and the culture surrounding it.
