Chromatic Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 16 hours ago, monkeypower said: The Edmonton Oil Kings unveiled a new sans-red alternate jersey yesterday. It had looked like they quietly retired the black and neon alternate set within the last couple seasons and this really confirms that. Edmonton's alternates tend to be drastically different from the team's regular branding. It's almost like they're trying soft rebrands and seeing which looks stick.

spartacat_12 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Those are the best jerseys the Thrashers ever wore, but why the "Blueland" caption? Not only was it a terrible, bland marketing campaign that ended up being the franchise's last gasping breath, but it was also based on the sky-blue jerseys they wore, not the original navy ones.

kiwi_canadian Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I don't know if this has been mentioned but the North Bay Battalion released an alternate sweater with a tank on it. “I had a discussion with the league even before we started play in 1998 about a secondary design that included a tank sweater, we’re pleased to introduce them in this, our 25th, season. We hope fans like the look and want to see more.“ - Scott Abbott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Ehhhhhh. I understand it's throwback based to the old North Bay team but it's such a departure from a pretty unique colour scheme and jerseys to the Boston Bruins (at a time where other CHL teams are getting further away from wearing unchanged NHL templates) and a colour scheme that three other teams use. They also introduced a white version too for the second half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 They announce a "third-sweater design", even though this now gives them 4 jerseys, and the graphic they post doesn't even match the actual design. I'm guessing the white jersey will actually look like this: The tank logo is cool, but it kind of clashes with the throwback design. I do really like the shoulder patch though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 It's cool, but I agree it should stay as strictly an alternate. Their army scheme get-up is unique. Even without the Battalion nickname, the scheme fits North Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Brandon, Cape Breton, & Victoriaville, and you've got 10% of the CHL wearing black & yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the Coachella Firebirds, they wear white at home in the AHL until Christmas. After Christmas, they wear their dark jersey at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe all rights associated with the Thrashers stayed with the Spirit group or something? Maybe like the same situation to what the Whalers did and why we didn't have Whalers merchandise for so long until the NHL got the rights back. I don't think True North has any Thrashers rights.

kiwi_canadian Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 So did a trademark search of the Thrashers and their trademark is currently owned by the NHL... So maybe they just asked the NHL to use the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
