The Springfield Thunderbirds, the AHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers, are paying homage to Snoop Dogg and the Springfield Indians on Saturday night.
As part of "Blast from the Past Night," the Thunderbirds will wear throwback Indians jerseys for their home game against the Providence Bruins. Snoop rocked an Indians jersey (and a Pittsburgh Penguins uni) in the music video for his 1994 hit "Gin and Juice."
Hoping that @SnoopDogg gives us some love for throwing it back with the jersey he wore in the Gin and Juice music video.
