Team Logo and Jersey
The team logo is very similar to that of the Calgary Flames of the NHL. The team jersey's are also those used by former NHL team Atlanta Thrashers from 1999 to 2006 (with logos replaced and advertisements added). This is an ironic pairing since the Calgary Flames were originally the Atlanta Flames. The Flames' inaugural season began in October 1992; they began in the English League Division One, which at the time was the starting place for all new names. With the Guildford Spectrum not yet completed, the team had to train at Slough with kind permission of Gary Stefan. The Flames played their "home" games at Alexandra Palace until their new home ice was ready and played their for the first time on 23 January 1993.

Famous quotes containing the words team and/or jersey:
“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“New Jersey gives us glue.”
—Howard Dietz (1896–1983)
