On October 4, 1936, the Detroit Olympics were sold, moved to Pittsburgh, and were re-named the Pittsburgh Hornets. The Hornets made their debut in the International-American Hockey League in 1936-37. The league transformed into the American Hockey League in 1940.
The Hornets wore wool jerseys that were burgundy and the sleeves featured white arm bands with three white stripes.
The home version of this year’s jersey was gray with red trim on the neck.
The jersey had a 12-inch circular crest that was made of twill and had cable-knit embroidery.
Players wore matching burgundy socks with white stripes.
