For their Sept. 8th game against the Washington Huskers, the Roanoke
Giraffes release their "Girafflage" unis. Jenna Marquis, one of the
Giraffes' PR reps, says, "The uniforms are combining the natural camo of
the Giraffe with the Woodland's color palette previously worn by the US
Military. Since we will be focusing on troops past and present with
this uniform, we will auction off the jerseys and helmets after the game
to raise funds for the Wounded Warriors Foundation."
When Coach
McManus was asked about the uniforms he replied, "I don't normally like
changing from our standard uniforms on gameday. They represent Roanoke,
the Giraffe herd, and our team. They did keep my suggestion to use the
spotted pattern and we'll look good on the field. I hope we can raise
enough money from the auction to help a few families in the area."
