The Kelowna Chiefs are looking for some help to design a new alternate jersey.

The KIJHL team are working in collaboration with Westbank First Nation for the new jersey. They are looking for a local Syilx/Okanagan artist to design the jersey in a contest-style format.

Discussions between the two sides started around December, coming up with the jersey idea in January.

害羞草研究所淲e originally talked with them back around Christmas time,害羞草研究所� said Kelowna Chiefs President Jason Tansem. 害羞草研究所淭hey were all on board with us keeping the name 害羞草研究所楥hiefs害羞草研究所� and through discussions and a couple of weeks after, we discussed our third jersey害羞草研究所� it害羞草研究所檚 a good way to incorporate Westbank First Nation.害羞草研究所�

In the release, it states that the logo should demonstrate what 害羞草研究所渃hief means to you害羞草研究所�. They are not yet looking for an updated version of the current logo but a symbolic, personal description of the 害羞草研究所榗hief害羞草研究所�.

The team is, however, also going to begin a transition away from its current logo.

害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檙e going to transition to our 害羞草研究所楰害羞草研究所� logo that we use already,害羞草研究所� said Tansem. 害羞草研究所淲e have two, the traditional head and the K logo. We害羞草研究所檝e actually been implementing our K logo more and more over the years and I would say in two years, it害羞草研究所檒l be strictly just the K logo that we害羞草研究所檒l be using with everything. We害羞草研究所檝e already started the transition.害羞草研究所�

The top three jersey designs will be selected by the Chiefs brass and voted on by Syilx members and hockey fans over social media.

The artist whose jersey gets selected will receive $1,500 and a commemorative jersey featuring their design.

Participants who want to enter must get their design in by June 15. Entries can be submitted .
