Remember those seer sucker jerseys last year? This is for the same game this year. They will wear them tomorrow night against the New Orleans Jesters.

Great Raft Brewing is the main sponsor, I think that's where Rafters comes from.

The Great Raft was a gigantic log jam or series of "rafts" that clogged the Red and Atchafalaya Rivers and was unique in North America in terms of its scale.
quote:
Steamboat builder and river captain Henry Miller Shreve (1785–1851) began systematically removing the Great Raft, a task that was continued by others until the latter part of the 19th century. For his efforts, the city of Shreveport was named after him

There's also this. No idea if it is where the name of the team directly comes from, but it's at least where the name of the brewery must come from.

You got it patron saint. The name has refers to the great raft that blocked the red River. That's why our supporters group is called the river Jack's... Homage to guys who worked to clear the log jam..
Also... Those jerseys are the worst.. we know it, we hate it, we all wish it was a joke.
Here's hoping you have to live with losing to Bob the builder!
