Has anyone seen any previews of all the "3rd jerseys" for the NHL teams the upcoming season? Kinda curious what the Canucks have for us this time.

nope just for the first year
now atleast 19 teams are coming out with a 3rd jersey for next season

NHL said no third jerseys last year...because whats the point? sell all the main jerseys first, now that sales will slow off release a 3rd jersey for people to spend there money on...but i actually think NHLs actual reason was because it was just too much at once, new jersey for every team already

It better be working in the stick and rink logo.

[sharnhayre]

i can wait... we all waited to see what $1 million got us.

[kettner]

I'm getting sick of this. It seems like there's another jersey every year.

i agree, how can we build a tradition and have everyone wear team colors when the team itself cant even make up their minds.. lets stick to one theme..

[ANuckInCalgary]

those are just possibilities...no ones sure

[JLARO]

shweet ^

i think they should go black. a little more intimidating, maybe a revised skate logo? haha
go canucks..

.......yuck

[iluvohlund]

So that will take our jersey total up to 568.

Great.

Third jerseys sounds cool but we have sooo many jerseys of all different colours, the canucks have gone through so many jersey changes. Just in my life time, we went from yellow skate, to black and white skate, to orca in white and navy, then the orca third jersey with the maroon/red to black fade away, then the blue and white stick in rink alternative jerseys that we wore alot in 06/07, and then the new jerseys from last year with vancouver written on them, and NOW another thrid jersey. Scheeesh.
Teams like the Candiens, Black Hawks and the Leafs don't change their jerseys. Thus all the old and new look similar, which I think improves their tradition and heritage, and actually brings meaning to wearing that jersey and playing for that team.
I wish we stuck with the same colours from the beginning, or the same symbol, but it seems we can't keep either the same.


Question: When you guys look at the stick at the rink symbol do you see the "C" it makes, or do you just view it as a stick and a rink?

The green one reminds me of the Hartford Whalers Jerseys.

[Hartley_7]

"Atlanta Thrashers
Word is the new sweaters will incorporate more maroon like the original dark jerseys. I don't know if this means the sweater itself will be maroon or rather navy more along the lines of that original jersey.

Boston Bruins
We've actually seen the black jerseys already which will feature the BRUINS version of the secondary logo found on the shoulders of the current jerseys. The jersey features the primary logo on the shoulders. Of the two "finalists" we saw, one includes a gold stripe around the bottom while the other does not.

Buffalo Sabres
This isn't really news, but the Sabres will supposedly return to the blue vintage sweaters like the ones they wore last year. We've heard that there's the possibility of some slight alterations, but I wouldn't expect much.

Carolina Hurricanes
Rumor has it the new 'Canes third will be black with the secondary logo on the front. You know the one with the tropical storm flag blowing in the wind. Sounds pretty good. I'd like to see a mock up. One would also expect to see the primary logo on the shoulders.

Chicago Blackhawks
Supposedly, the 'Hawks will resurrect the black sweater they've been wearing as a third jersey for years. No surprises here but I can't say I wouldn't be disappointed if they didn't attempt to make a few tweaks to it.

Dallas Stars
Interestingly, rumor suggests that the new Stars alternate will be a white version of the current black one. You know, with DALLAS written across the front. I'm a fan of one jersey like that. But let's not start in with turning the NHL into the NBA.

Edmonton Oilers
We're being told it's a vintage design with laces at the collar. That sounds absolutely amazing, especially when compared with the travesty visited upon the Oil this season. But this could just be wishful thinking.

Los Angeles Kings
We're speculating that the Kings will return to the purple sweater from last season with the coat of arms logo. Of course the author of the rumors being discussed here suggested the jersey may be black. We'll have to see, but my money's on purple.

Minnesota Wild
You'd think they can't go wrong with a green sweater, but then word is it will have MINNESOTA plastered across the front a la the New York Rangers or Colorado Avalanche. That may not sound impressive, but the Wild have a history of creating vintage-looking thirds that are really killer. I'll hold my judgment until I see it.

New York Islanders
Evidently we should expect a vintage design. Something I'm surprised they didn't go with when unveiling their new Rbk EDGE sweaters over the summer. I'm not really disappointed the orange won't be making a comeback.

Ottawa Senators
I hope this rumor isn't true. Apparently they're going with a gold sweater — you read that right — with SENS written across the front. I don't know if this is more in the vein of the Stars or Rangers. Time will tell. But just let it not be gold. I wouldn't even wish that on the Stars.

Philadelphia Flyers
The team has already told us to expect an orange sweater. What they didn't mention is whether it will be an altered version of the current design or a vintage throwback. Rumor suggests the latter.

Phoenix Coyotes
Opting for a new alternate logo, it sounds like they may be going with a full-body coyote on the front of a black sweater. I think a black jersey will go well with the brick/sand color combination. This one I'm looking forward to seeing.

Pittsburgh Penguins
The team has all but confirmed already that they'll go with the same design they wore for the Winter Classic two months ago. You can't really go wrong with that one. Vintage quality at its finest.

San Jose Sharks
We're likely looking at a black version of the current uniforms. I know a lot of folks dislike the orange. I personally don't mind it. However, how cool would it be if they went with a black/grey/white jersey with some teal piping/lining? And I'll go ahead and put my vote in for the full-body shark like you see on the shoulders of the current sweaters.

St. Louis Blues
We know all about St. Louis already from the team higher-ups. They're talking about a navy sweater with a brand new logo featuring the Gateway Arch. In fact, I have some great concepts to share later with this logo alteration in mind.

Tampa Bay Lightning
The rumors I'm reading scare me because, as a Lightning fan, I'd hate to see this happen. Supposedly the new third will be navy (so far so good) with BOLTS written across the front (there's where you lose me). Sounds an awful like what's going on with the Senators. Read above.

Toronto Maple Leafs
Likely a white vintage design will make its way onto the backs of Leaf players. Probably with the old leaf logo as well. This wouldn't surprise me and sure wouldn't disappoint. Looking forward to it, as a matter of fact.

Vancouver Canucks
It's rumored that a vintage design — I'm guessing blue — is in the works. I like the stick-in-the-rink jerseys as much as anybody, but I would not be surprised to see a completely new design with the newly introduced Johnny Canuck logo. It's a chance that's too good to pass up for a team in the midst of a serious identity crisis."

sorry cant figure out how to post link but all this came from nhllogos.blogspot.com

[TOMapleLaughs]

Check these alternate logos out: http://www.sportslog.../team.php?id=29

Don't be surprised if Johnny Canuck makes his return as the alternate jersey's main logo.

edit: Albeit his head is cut off and put in a waste basket. I mean 'V'.
