Beantown77 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I've heard rumors they are dropping the yellow alternates and bringing back the 1970 sweater as the alternate for this upcoming season.I haven't heard any confirmation of this. However, the 3rds are on sale at the nhl.com shop while the regular home and away are not...Just throwing it out there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn89 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 The yellow/gold uniform is great, it's just the logo that really sucks. I haven't heard anything about them dropping it, though. But they probably are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbergh Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 the logo stinks, and the piping stinks, if they found a way to go traditional, the yellow could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazz013 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 They are dropping the alt, I don't know what, if anything, they are going to replace it with.Dallas, Calgary, and Vancouver may be ditching their thirds, as well. Save the slugalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedude Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Dallas has officially dropped theirs for good. Everyone had a whole lot of fun sending them off. It was certainly one of those good riddance type of things. They even interviewed the players during the pre-game show of the last game with the jersey and asked them if they liked the jerseys and if they would miss them. None of the players said they would miss them, and Boucher was the only guy who claimed to like them. The remaining jerseys are currently being sold at Starcenters for 18 bucks each. I have not heard anything about the Bruins though, and I would not mind if the Flames got rid of those black jerseys. I never thought that black was a very good color for them. As for Vancouver, I have heard some people say that perhaps they would go with the old blue and green jersey for their new alternate, but I have seen nothing official about it at all.

OOJ Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 The Stars third, Flames third, and Thrashers home are also on sale. Well we all know about the mooterus being history but I guess the rumors about Calgary and Atlanta are true. The Canucks gradiant third is not on sale yet though...

You're right, the Thrasher's home jersey is on sale, not the third. The third will become the new home. Save the slugalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'm sure the Flames' jettisoning of their thirds was made official during last season--maybe it was on their web-site.I didn't mind the look of the jersey--but black isn't right for the team, and that logo is awful--if there's to be a new alt--I'd like to see a throwback--their original jerseys were great.

I am thinking the exact opposite of you.The balck/white fur pattern at the hem and end of the sleeves is bad. The word "Bruins" on the shoulders is bad. The bright yellow jersey is bad.The logo is the only good thing about it (although not strong enough to be on the front of a jersey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luongo was given one by the team for his press conference which makes you think that they should be using them in some capacity.As for the B's alt, bring on the throwbacks! facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bright yellow jersey is bad.The logo is the only good thing about it (although not strong enough to be on the front of a jersey). That's where I disagree, though. Too many teams have SUPER dark jerseys. Teams who once had bright colors for some reason wearing blues that look like blacks, black jerseys, of course, and so on and so forth. The Flyers have ruined their identity by adopting black as their primary home jersey. The orange was good, it stuck out. The yellow is good too. I can agree that the "BRUINS" on the shoulder is bad, but I really love the jersey's design. There's so much more thought put into something like this than say all the teams who throw a few lines on the sleves and bottom of the jersey and call it "classic" or "traditional." I'm all about teams having uniforms that look sharp and are unique, I could care less about "classic." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen to that, brother. The Flyers had forged too strong an identity in the orange jerseys to see it turned into a trim color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGivens87 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 These gold Bruins jerseys are so much better than the Charlie Brown/Pooh Bear crap... I actually own one of these jerseys, and everytime I wear it to the rink, the comment I always get is "The Bruins should switch to something like that instead of the stupid bear jersey."On a side note, that P-B's jersey is, by far, one of the sweetest hockey jerseys around, IMO.

Brendan Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 The Canucks for sure will wear the alternate as the third. What they should do though is have the current 3rd as the home and the vintage as the third or the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
