The press release also said there would be no further comment from the WHL or Prince Albert Raiders.
WHL Commissioner Ron Robison apologized Sunday for an “insensitive and offensive” Prince Albert Raiders alternate team jersey unveiled just two days before.
The image on the jerseys appeared to be based on a previous team logo introduced in 1982, which depicted an Arabian raider character holding a sword and a hockey stick.
“On Friday night the Prince Albert Raiders unveiled an alternate third jersey, which was inspired by a highly successful era in Club history,” Robison said in a statement.
“We recognize the dated design is insensitive and offensive. After consultation with the Prince Albert Raiders, this uniform and brand will be discontinued effective immediately. On behalf of the WHL and the Prince Albert Raiders, we regret this uniform design was approved and sincerely apologize for any harm it may have caused.”
There was considerable backlash over the jersey, especially on social media sites like Twitter.
Hahahahahahahahaha...I love that routine!
Hah! The good old days. There was another phone prank but I can’t remember it...getting old. But it was right in line with the Prince Albert joke.
Now days...kids swat their victims for a laugh.
Now, I know your Freepname is “Moovova” not “Rollova”, but everytime I see your name, I think of the song we used to sing in the car with all six of us kids:
KID ONE: There were twelve in the bed and the Little One said:
EVERYONE: “Roll Over! Roll Over!”
KID TWO: So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were eleven in the bed and the Little One said:
EVERYONE: “Roll Over! Roll Over!”
KID THREE: So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were ten in the bed and the Little One said:
EVERYONE: “Roll Over! Roll Over!”
KID FOUR: So they all rolled over and one fell out, there were nine in the bed and the Little One said:
EVERYONE: “Roll Over! Roll Over!”
And so on...:)
We did something similar with our kids. Along the lines of...
“Ten little monkies jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Momma called the docter and the doctor said...no more monkies jumping on the bed!”
“Nine little monkies jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Momma called the doctor...and on and on...”
It was a fun song to sing with our kids. It still comes up occasionally...and now THEY have kids!
That’s funny-We never sang that one, but once you mentioned it, I remember hearing it somewhere!
And then there’s the “wheels on the bus go round and round”. My 31 year old daughter was singing that to her child the other day. We sang it with our daughter when she was a kid!
