On Jan. 23, the team will take the ice wearing a blue and yellow checkerboard number that could charitably be described as bold, but more accurately described as painful.

The Don Cherry Night sweaters will be sold at the game via a live auction, with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society and the team’s Walleye Wishing Well charity.

Earlier this season the Walleye teamed up with the Fort Wayne Komets for a special 8-Bit Night, which saw both teams in jerseys inspired by NES classic Super Mario Bros.
