Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Dont know what city you live in, but why dont you try it before you repond to someones comments to help people getting information they want. You probably libe in PEI where the have only one sport store and probably only have one leaf jersey for sale which of course is on a used rack.Easy oakland!!!... or the complete opposite, in Edmonton, AB.I work in a store, and most of our staff has jersey info shared with them, but we're not going to just tell customers. It makes the store look bad and could result in consequences from the manufacturers.Go to a chain store though, which mine is not, but most stores you'll find are, and 90% of the staff is high school kids who you're lucky if they know all the teams.i went to one chain store, will be left nameless and asked if they had any old style islander or canadians jerseys. He responded I kid you not, "Are they minor league teams? We only sell major league teams" I responded, "No, they are NHL teams". He goes, "Are you sure? I've never heard of those teams. They can't be NHL teams." i walked out of the store. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 My family has season tickets and were informed by a member of MLSE about the new third Jesey. I was the one who provided the jersey changes to the RAPs couple of months before the showed the new gear at a charity golf tournament in 2006 and also on this forum provided the changes of the leafs new RBK uniforms (Ugly) couple of months before they were released to the public. It is Official trust me, and if you want to confirm please go to a sporting store which sells all pro sport uniforms, because they should have all the information of the new third's and how they will look. It is very important to note unlike the current home and away with no stripes, the third jersey will include stripes at the bottom of the uniform.if what you say is true i maybe tempted to go buy a leafs third.

I could understand that there are places where people do not follow hockey, yet I'm sure that same employee is either a hardcore football or baseball fan. I mean, I only realized that the Montreal Expos ceased to exist in mid 2005. Nah, I kid! I would find it quite insulting if that happened to me.Just curious, in what city was this store of yours?

You have a history of 4 posts, 3 of which are in this thread, the fourth is supporting someone else in their sighting of the new Raps logo in Union Statoin which I took a picture of and posted on here. I also believe that I mentioned it before you did. And you did not 'leak' it to us. You did not say anything about the Leafs on here before now. You did not 'break the news' about the new Leafs jersey on here as you had never been on here before now. If you had, why not go back and use your original account to make these posts? Up until they were unveiled most people on here (excluding myself and a few others who actually know what is going on) believed that the new jersey would have a huge Leaf or some other kinds of weird striping. Show me this 'post' that you made months before the new jerseys were unveiled that proves 'YOU' leaked such information. Until then, I will continue to believe you are full of crap.In addition, you were not the first one on here to mention that the new 3rd would be the old alt. Look back to the beginning of this thread and you will see mention of it.Don't make up lies and try to take credit for it OR put others down for calling you out. Oakland has built up a fairly nice reputation with accurate information - I'd listen to him. He can also type properly.

I just remember it still being their 3rd not their road at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland ehs Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 I actually had an image in my head of Thornton wearing the garbage eating bear at the draft, but google debunked that theory...As for Pittsburgh, this is the only photo I can find from the 97 draft...http://bp3.blogger.com/_fw7iF68JR8k/SFnavu...I/s400/dome.jpgCant tell if that's from the draft or not, but it is indeed the Pens' third at the time.

ColeJ Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i dont think it's a question of if any draftee has ever been GIVEN a third jersey... as much as it's a question of any third jersey being unveiled at the draft. which to my knowledge has never happened.

So I guess that's the reason for optimism. Might have made sense for the Sens to show off their new alternate. But they probably would have had an event planned for it so we would have heard about it days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I remember LA a couple years back gave out their purple third jersey to a draftee. BTW I'm I the only one here that thinks that the Kings primary home dark uniforms should be purple and not back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 being a so cal guy i believe kings jerseys should be silver and black again but thats just me. with the current color scheme ur right they should b in purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'96-'97 was the last year they used the diagonal Pittsburgh script jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwtrailtrekker Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 i just read on a canucks message board by some random poster that the canucks third jersey would consist of the same colors as the current set, would have the stick n rink logo on the front, with the johnny canuck V logo (previously unused) on the shoulders, and a similar but still different striping pattern. take it for what its worth, i might just be some doofus looking for attention, or it might be the real thing.i'll try to track down the post.Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
