Dakota announces special patch

DAKOTA ANNOUNCES 5th ANNIVERSARY PATCH

The Dakota Warbirds franchise will hit a milestone when Season 6 comes rolling around. It will be the 5th season that Dakota has been in the BHL and to commemorate this special occasion, the 'Birds will be wearing a special patch on their home, road and 3rd uniforms.

"This is a very special event." Said Owner Chris Coogan in a press conference held earlier today. "It is a Christmas present to both the fans and the team as we continue forward in the BHL. I am very proud to be an owner and player for this team."

The patch was announced to players as they began to put together some designs in hopes of wearing their art on Dakota's uniforms.

"I am very happy to have my patch selected for the upcoming season," Said Miika Kemppinen, captain and center for the Warbirds.

"I went thinking what the Warbirds represents, and originally Googan made it to honor the old indian tribe - Dakotas. So the patch was supposed to be celebrating our 5th season in the league (DMSL/BHL). To combine those two elements I came up with the idea of five feathers in the original colors of the Warbirds."

Owner Chris Coogan, Co-GMs Robi Alberts and Greg Ezell, and Miika Kemppinen showed the patch to the St. Paul media today.

"We are very excited to have this patch on our uniforms this year. It is such a special occasion for the franchise and having our Captain design the patch makes it even better." Said Co-GM Greg Ezell.

The patch is designed with 5 feathers, one feather designating one season in the league.
