Showing off the brand new RED 6!On Friday night, hundreds of fans, family, friends, sponsors, and well-wishers packed an upscale Catania gallery for the official presentation of the 2008 Catania Elephants... with the highlight of the night being the showcase of the brand new uniforms. The new uniforms -- Mt. Etna Red -- are a fitting upgrade as the Elephants tackle the challenge of our first season in Italy's top division.
After a great presentation that included interviews with our head coach, Davide, and defensive coordinator, George, the American players got to show off the jerseys and later mingled with the Elephant family. I think the best aspect of Catania to this point has been the people -- and Davide has worked very hard to create a family atmosphere that is terrific. I know that if I coach one day, I will definitely take that with me... just as was modeled at PLU under my grandfather, Frosty Westering, and now my uncle, Scott Westering.

The crowd looks on... ready for the start of the 2008 season next Saturday in Milan.

After such a fun night -- I can't wait to kick things off next week!
