You know what, I kindof like them.

I am, though, disappointed that they majorly dropped the ball and didn't go with this.

Some guy on hfboards is going around saying that he has seen the new Blue Jackets thirds and that there is no red to be found, they will wear navy shells over the regular red pants, and that they're going with a navy blue with a "lighter blue" used as accompanying trim.

I hope to god that he's wrong, but in my head I'm thinking "Oh god guys, you're going to make the same damn mistake as the god damn Florida mother *&$@ing Panthers. "

Alright, there's one way I think this can work, and that's with the lighter blue the team used in the stinger logo, and the one that you used in your concept. That said though, this will sure be interesting (and hopefully could lead to the navy shells being worn full-time, specifically on the road.

haha there's a reason it's called Sh**sburgh...thats exactly what that jersey looks like

I love just about everything about Pittsburgh's winter classic jersey. Even better is the fact that they now have two great alternate uniform sets for at least this season.

Those light blue straps really seem to consume a lot of the jerseys.

That may be the worst throwback jersey I've ever seen.

It's up there. Though those Montreal barberpoles are hard to beat.

I'm looking at the Penguins web site. Are the letters and numbers white or tanish?

Yeah they really do.

Makes the jersey look like ass.

They seem to look better on the player than hanging up. That said, the stripes could stand to be thinner (or knock off one or two of them), and they should've probably used a different font all around. But really, as far as fauxbacks go, this isn't all that bad. When I first saw mockups like this I hated it too, but they've grown on me. My distaste comes in the wasted potential they had with the many other actual jerseys the penguins have worn.

I like the stripes. They're different and the thin yellow stripes provide just the right amount of the color without being obnoxious. It's still a navy / light blue jersey with yellow trim, as opposed to a navy / light blue / yellow jersey.

I also like the pants stripes, though the yellow should probably be thinner.

What I don't like is that the crest has none of the colors of the rest of the jersey. The black clashes with the navy, the "athletic gold" clashes with the pale yellow, and there's no light blue. Since it's a "faux back", they could have taken some liberties and modified it a bit to make it match (obviously the actual bird should remain black though.) For a one-off that's not billed as an actual "throwback", I like it a lot.

I'll agree that they had better ideas to work with - any of the diagonally-lettered jerseys would have been great - even the "Snoop Dog" black one (which I think they are damn fools for ever getting rid of.)

For once, we agree. (Mostly. I like the logo as it is, clashing and all.)

Another thing I've noticed to be a little bit annoying is the off-white color they use. If they had used white, it would look better, IMO.

So much for that - I like the off white, especially the numbers.

[NEW.ERA]

For the second consecutive game the Avalanche are wearing colored jersey's. Vancouver I understand but no clue why the Flames are wearing white at home.

[Lee.]

Probably because the Avs only packed their colored jerseys due to the Vancouver game. No biggie.

Did Tim Thomas where a new mask and pads tonight?

Last night, no. This season, yes.

Agreed. Apparently Mario doesn't like the diagonal lettering.
