Design Description
This striking black Crunch jersey features:
The glacier-textured “CRUNCH” wordmark above the team’s iconic angry ape mascot gripping two broken hockey sticks—one of the most recognizable and bold logos in the AHL.
Anaheim Ducks shoulder patches, matching the Ducks’ branding from this era (gold, orange, and white color palette).
Reebok’s authentic on-ice AHL tagging, including Canadian size tag and the AHL logo embroidered near the back hem.
Large tackle-twill #21 on the back, professionally stitched.
Reinforced fight strap with double-stitch anchors, confirming it was created for team use rather than retail.
The jersey uses heavyweight pro-grade mesh and durable stitching throughout—exactly what you’d expect from an AHL team-issued Made-in-Canada Reebok.
