The Kingston Frontenacs decided to honor popular CBC hockey commentator Don Cherry by wearing red plaid jerseys that looked like one of Cherry's trademark garish jackets.

The Frontenacs wore the Don Cherry hockey jerseys as part of their Military Appreciation Night promotion to honor troops at Kingston's Canadian Forces Base Kingston. Cherry, an avid supporter of the military, was on hand for the annual event. As a tribute to Cherry, each player wore a special jersey that looked like a red plaid blazer complete with a tie and flower in the lapel.

As a fundraiser, the Kingston Frontenacs will auction the Don Cherry hockey jerseys on eBay. The auctioned Don Cherry hockey jersey can be found here.

For the record, the Frontenacs opponents weren't distracted by the Don Cherry hockey jerseys. The Frontenacs ended up losing to the  Mississauga St. Michaels Majors, 4-3.
