The Shreveport Mudbugs hockey team is well known for their unique team name and logo. As the only ice hockey team regularly playing in Louisiana, they certainly know how to carry the state's creative flair. They do it like it's their responsibility to rep the entire state to the hockey world (because it is).

One of the best ways the team shows off that creative style is through their specialty jerseys. From their Christmas jerseys to Mardi Gras, and geeky jerseys to St. Patrick's Day, the team has had some amazing sweaters. But they might save their best work for honoring the military.

If you have never had the privilege to enjoy a Shreveport Mudbugs hockey game, you know that two of the biggest features of a Mudbugs' home game are the National Anthem, and Hometown Heroes. During the Hometown Heroes celebration, a local military servicemember or vet is honored during the game. Its one of the ways the Mudbugs organization gives back to military members.

They also honor the military every year with their Military Appreciation weekend, which almost always includes special military jerseys. This year's version might be an instant classic. Since this weekend is Military Appreciation weekend, its a good time to look at this year's sweater.

Coming in with a light camo, major stars & stripes, Old Glory, and military logos, this is one incredible looking sweater. Which you could also own this weekend. The team will be auctioning off the player's jerseys at the end of Saturday night's game. Which means you could get the exact jersey you want, right off a player's back.

But if you aren't looking for a player's jersey, and still want to have this design in your closet, the Mudbugs will have more chances to get Military Appreciation merch. Including hoodies, shirts, and hats. All with a military design.

The Mudbugs military merch will be available exclusively in the Swamp Shack at the games Friday and Saturday night. These items normally sell fast, so if you'd like to score one, make sure you get to the game early.

Legendary Musicians Who Rocked The Hirsch In Shreveport

Here's a sample of the legendary musical acts who have played Shreveport's Memorial Coliseum over the last 60 years. The Hirsch was basically the homefield for bands like Van Halen and ZZ Top, who regularly put the Hirsch near the top of their tours. For that reason, we're actually not going to feature them on this list, because they were basically "house bands" for Shreveport...and that's NOT a bad thing.
