Raider Rebranding

The Prince Albert Raiders are a team in transition.  They began the season well, but sputtered in the second half, which ended with a sweep at the hands of the Red Deer Rebels in the first round of the playoffs.  On April 30, the team announced that Steve Young (not the quarterback) would not be returning to the team as head coach, effectively meaning that the team was in search of a head coach and in all likelihood, will be looking for new personnel in the front office.  A week from today, the Raiders will be announcing something called the Green Movement, which means the Raiders will be looking different on the ice next season.  Logic says that with a name like the Green Movement, that change could mean the Raiders will be going with a green jersey in some capacity starting next season.  In case you're wondering what the Raiders have worn for the past few seasons, here it is:

As far as the Raiders going green, it was an original jersey color prior to the team's shift to black and the current logo.  An older look, as sported by Mike Modano:
