Hisss: The story behind the ‘Cobra Chickens’ and what they represent for P.A. Raiders
The Prince Albert Raiders will have a drastically different look Friday night when they suit up to take on the rival Saskatoon Blades at the Art Hauser Centre.
The Raiders have rebranded as the Prince Albert Cobra Chickens for one game and will be wearing special jerseys to mark the occasion.
“It’s something that you see a lot of in minor league baseball and it’s something that we thought was a fun idea,” said Raiders Business Manager Mike Scissons, adding that other teams in the WHL have done similar initiatives in the past including Swift Current and Saskatoon.
“Talking to Swift Current last year and the success they had and the amount of excitement the community had around the rebrand was something that we were hoping that we could recreate, and I would say not only did we recreate it we maybe even trumped theirs. So it’s been exciting to be a part of.”
