ECHL team to wear 'Rocky' uniforms

The ECHL's Toledo Walleye are going the distance with their uniforms for "Rocky" tribute night on Saturday.
The Detroit Red Wings affiliate will wear special Rocky Balboa-themed uniforms, complete with a faux-bare-chested jersey that includes a championship belt and pants that resemble the stars-and-stripes trunks worn by Sylvester Stallone in the 1976 movie, for their game against the Brampton Beast.

The socks will even feature laces that mimic Balboa's high-top boxing shoes. The jerseys and pants will be auctioned off after the game, with proceeds benefitting Toledo-based nonprofit organization Heroes in Action, the International Boxing Club of Toledo and the Walleye Wishing Well.
