Morning Wrap: Bakersfield Condors Hold Seinfeld Night

((ht: cbssports.com))

While Seinfeld may have been a TV show about nothing that aired in the 1990's, it has never been forgotten. It's a legendary TV sitcom, quoted by many of us "older" folks, even today.

And every once in a while, it's been used as the base of one heck of a promotion.

Check out what the Bakersfield Condors did this past weekend.

They held a Seinfeld night promotion. Including wearing "Puffy Shirt" jerseys. And the jerseys featured character names from the show on the back. (Creative no?)

The team had a variety of related promotions and a guy dressed up like the Kramer character working the crowd.

Unfortunately the Condors lost the game, 2-1 to the Idaho Steelheads, but the promotions team will be what's remembered from the night.

After the game, the jersey's were auctioned off for charity, including one the went for a reported $1800.

Well done Condors and Condors fans, well done...

First thing the HQ thought of when we heard about what happened in Bakersfield, California at the ECHL game between the host Wranglers and the Condors was this...


But, the HQ also knows that the minor leagues are all about promotion. We get it...

The home ECHL team in the HQ's back yard, your Gwinnett Gladiators, are fighting to stay in first in their division. Our favorite move is their annual "Teddy Bear Toss" that reigns havoc- for the sake of charity...

The Condors and Wranglers got to unveil a real endangered species before their game Friday, but not without consequences...

Here's the run of the bird in full...


All they really needed was Marlon Perkins allowing Jim Fowler to go chasing and the whole saga would have been over with sooner than the length of time above...

Oh, Vegas won 4-1... Just so you know...

Another "Epic" Hockey Fight From The ECHL

The HQ would like to think that the ECHL stands for the "Epic Carnage Hockey League" just ask the Bakersfield COndors and the Ontario Reign

It was an "Epic" hockey fight. Because of the length, carnage, amount of guys who fought and the play-by-play.
