THE JERSEYS
The Enforcers will once again be donning their alternate black jerseys on Saturday afternoon. The jerseys, commemorating the organization's tenth season of play, include the star numbers of fallen officers printed on the numbers. While many teams roll out black jerseys as a gimmick of sorts for big games, the team decided on the color black to honor those officers who have died in the line of duty.
