Columbus Mad Cows Can Koozie®
Note: Koozies may ship separately from apparel.
It was udder madness when the Columbus Mad Cows came to life for a single event on Halloween night, Friday, October 31, 1997, as part of a unique and legendary “bait and switch” promotion by the Columbus Chill team president David Paitson.
On the Monday of game week, the Chill announced that a team name change would be unveiled on Thursday afternoon, one day prior to the Friday Opening Night game. By refusing to disclose any additional information prior to the press conference, media speculation ran rampant on the assumption the NHL expansion team would take the Chill name. Instead, the Chill would discard their normal home uniform and, in Halloween tradition, make a “costume change” bearing the Mad Cow logo on the black and white spotted jerseys. The Chill were victorious with a 2-0 win over the Johnstown Chiefs in front of another sellout crowd. And the 'Mad Cows' named lived on in Columbus lore for years to come.
This would make a unique gift for the hockey fan in your life or a neat find for yourself of a vintage hockey team from Ohio.
