Nhl 03-04 alternates

[random]

has anyone heard anything about who will be adding a 3rd for the 03-04 NHL season? i've heard Calgary might. also, arent minnesota and columbus allowed to have one now? are either of those two planning on one?

i remember reading a post about minnesota holding a vote with their fans re: 3rds. many of the ideas were very "collegesque" if i may invent a word. i was excited about a few of them with baseball style "minnesota" written on the front. very different for the NHL. similar to Oshawa which is cool.

i think calgary might just do a logo switch much like L.A. did this year. I'd like to see the white "C" on the black jersey and the horse on red or alltogether gone. (shoulder patch only maybe?!)

i don't know about columbus but i know Tampa Bay has been trying to design a 3rd for quite a while. anyone know any more?

I was watching a Blue Jackets game in early November, and one of their announcers said that the team is looking at designs and will have an alt jersey for the 2003/04 season.  He then went on to explain the rule about no alts for expansion teams until after their third season.

I thought the majority of the Wild alternate ideas were bland, but in trying for a 'heritage' look, they accomplish it with each design.

I am definately not a fan of the 'Oshawa' design, I hate my hometown boys wearing that look, and I'd hate to see the Wild in it.

Anyone still have the URL?
