Carolina Hurricanes: Three Potential Alternate Bunch of Jerks Shirts
The Carolina Hurricanes Bunch of Jerks shirt has taken the hockey world by storm. They’ve had a few alternate versions of the shirt since it’s inception. But what are some other potential ideas they could do?
The Carolina Hurricanes brought us their now iconic Bunch of Jerks shirt back in February. Since then they have released multiple alternate versions of the shirt. They had the front running jerks shirt during the playoffs.
Can’t forget about the running jerks one for the 5k back in the summer. and most recently the Bunch of Jedi version for Star Wars night this past Saturday.
The Hurricanes are likely to continue riding this money train for as long as they can. And who can blame them? The shirt(s) have become a staple of the Hurricanes fan base. You see them everywhere at Hurricanes games and events. As well as in every location of The Eye in PNC arena. Not to mention all the other ones with the Jerks name on it in other stores like Target.
The alternate versions are likely to keep coming whenever an opportunity comes up. But let’s help the gang out and throw them a few ideas.These aren’t in any particular order and is intended just for fun. So lets hop on into it shall we.
First up, it’s that time of the year, so why not get a little festive?
Bunch of Christmas Jerks
Now it’s Christmas time folks. The Hurricanes already have their ugly Christmas sweater down in The Eye. We’ll all be wearing that during our Christmas parties. So why not give us a Bunch of Christmas Jerks shirt to wear on Christmas morning or to give to our loved ones?
Now of course if they were to actually do this, they’d have to act fast. But it is important to note that the Hurricanes do have a magic hockey elf on their roster in Sebastian Aho. I’m sure he could enlist the help of his teammates to get it done. Andrei Svechnikov is a magician on the side after all.
Under, or around the lettering, there could be Christmas lights with the players faces inside the bulbs. The Hurricanes could also have Stormy and Caroline dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus on the shirt as well.
If they wanted to, the Canes could also make Christmas Jerks ugly sweaters, stockings, Santa hats, and all sorts of Christmas merchandise. Personally, I’d love to see some Bunch of Christmas Jerks pajama pants so I can relax with my dogs and cat as we watch the classic Christmas movie, Die Hard.
We all know about the college rush hats, but how about some shirts to go along with them?
Bunch of College Jerks
Bunch of Mountaineers. Bunch of Blue Devils. Bunch of Pirates. The list goes on.
We all know the college rush hats that the Hurricanes do with colleges and universities across North Carolina. Why not throw in some shirts to go along with the hats?
These shirts can be adorned with the schools colors and logos. Just like the college rush hats. These would go over huge with the students, alumni, and fans of the schools. Especially with college hockey on the rise in North Carolina. Most notably with the NC State Icepack who recently won the Governor’s Cup over UNC Chapel Hill in front of a crowd of over 6,000 at PNC arena.
Depending on the logistics of it all, the shirts could continued to be sold at the universities and their respective stores. This could bring in a bunch of fans for the Hurricanes and the schools’ hockey programs that they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten.
So if you’re in Boone, grab a Bunch of Mountaineers shirt? In Wilmington for a beach trip? Go get yourself a Bunch of Seahawks shirt.
Next summer is going to be filled with big blockbusters. Why not have a night based around one of the best superhero franchises going?
Bunch of Amazons
Wonder Woman 1984 is coming out in June 2020 and is poised to be a big hit. Just like the 2017 film. The Carolina Hurricanes could seriously do something big with this once hockey season were to roll around.

The Hurricanes could do this version of the shirt in October and have a portion of the proceeds from the shirts and any other merchandise made, go to breast cancer research. Maybe have a design of the shirt come in pink as well?
Wonder Woman has been a big inspiration for young girls so this could also be a night to bring some attention to women’s hockey.
If they could get her to, maybe have Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot be a siren sounder that night.
Now this list could go on until New Years. Maybe a Bunch of Hornets one for the upcoming Charlotte Hornets night? The ideas are endless. So, maybe I’ll do a part two at some point. Who knows?
