Nashville Sounds to Honor Military with Special Jerseys on Military Appreciation Nights
The Nashville Sounds announced that they will don specialty military jerseys for Military Appreciation Night on Thursday, June 6, and again on Friday, July 5, as part of the team’s Independence Day Weekend celebration. These game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off, with proceeds benefitting The Charlie and Hazel Daniels Veterans and Military Family Center at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU).
The special jerseys are rich with symbolic design elements that honor the service and sacrifice of military personnel. The Nashville ‘N’ logo, placed over the heart, is emblazoned with the American flag, representing the love for one’s country that is central to all who serve. Gold accents around the logo mirror the gold trim found in military service uniforms, adding a touch of elegance and reverence.
A distinctive "NASH" nameplate is positioned over the right chest, mimicking the nameplates on military service uniforms. This nameplate includes all who served in the Middle Tennessee area, providing a localized tribute to veterans and active-duty service members.
Each sleeve of the jersey features three gold stars, totaling six stars to represent the six branches of the United States Military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force. The three stars on each sleeve also pay homage to retired Army Lieutenant General Keith M. Huber’s rank. General Huber, who serves as senior advisor for veterans and leadership initiatives at MTSU, has been a key figure in supporting veteran services at the university.
“The Daniels Center is tremendously grateful for our partnership with the Nashville Sounds in support of our continuous efforts to serve all Veterans concerning their earned VA benefits as well as military-connected students and families through a variety of services to help them succeed both academically, professionally, and personally,” said General Huber. “And I’m deeply appreciative of the Sounds’ recognition of the military service of our Veterans through these commemorative jerseys.”
