The Flagship Niagara League is celebrating their 30th anniversary, this week.
In commemoration, Tuesday afternoon, they announced a partnership with the SeaWolves.
The SeaWolves will create a custom designed team jersey, incorporating the Flagship Niagara.
"We have an opportunity through Wilson Sporting Goods to put a picture of the Flagship Niagara on the front of our jerseys, which will be on the field on July 12th. We'll auction those off, the proceeds from that will go to the league." Said SeaWolves' General Manager, Greg Coleman.
You'll also be able to buy a replica jersey, with all proceeds benefiting the League.
"It's a good cross promotional event for us. We can help promote the SeaWolves they can help promote the Flagship Niagara League 7 weeks before the Tall Ships, which is a real natural for the community." Said Shawn Waskiewicz, Executive Director of the Flagship Niagara League.
