Go Big or Go Home

If you're gonna make a change, make it memorable, and the Thunderbolts are doing just that. Let's start with the most obvious change - the new team colors and team logo. For the first time since 2016, the Thunderbolts will not be in red, white, and blue out on the ice. This year, they are rocking a tough-looking red, white and black color scheme.

And how about that new logo - how sweet is that? The P-47 for which the Thunderbolts are named feels a little more old-school, a little more authentic. According to the Thunderbolts press release, "The new logo has the same feel but highlights more of the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft that was manufactured in Evansville during the Second World War."

The 'Bolts New Online Home

A massive overhaul like this wouldn't be complete without a new website, which can still be found at evansvillethunderbolts.com. The URL is the same, but that's about it. The fresh new site offers fans up-to-date news on the team and schedule, as well as content and expanded opportunities to interact with the staff.
