habsfan1 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The Panthers continue to wear their 3rd jerseys in the pre-season. I thought they were retiring them?The whole point is to reach as quickly as possible, the mimimum # of times it has to be worn (insert official rule here). For some reason, the team is not allowed to retire it, yet. They want to retire it though, and the they are doing what they can so that during the home games, they will be in red most of the time. I wouldn't even be surprised if they try to wear the alt on the road down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kings ditched their "Burger King" 3rd jersey in the 90's after 1-2 uses, and the Blues never wore that 3rd jersey with the trumpets on it.

RedRenesis Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 That was also the beginning of the third jersey program, when only six teams had them. Things have changed in the last 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The Panthers' double-blues this year are experiencing a similar fate as Dallas' infamous "Mooterus" thirds. The team wants nothing to do with them, but is contractually required to wear them a certain number of times during the seasoon. They've been in contact with their opponents to arrange to wear them on the road as much as possible, and any home games they're stuck wearing them will probably be for their least desirable matchups.

I didn't realize (or forgot, in the case of the Stars) there was such a rule. Thanks for clearing that up, Sodboy and habsfan. Since there are always opportunities to wear color on the road, it's smart that the Panthers do that. Of course, if these preseason games count, why not just relegate them to that for five years?

More they use it during the preseason, less we see it during the regular season. Ideally, they'll wear it all of december or january and be doen with it.

refuse Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 ^^My, oh my does that "A" look horrid with "RANGERS" already on the jersey:Does anyone know much about the team that the Rangers are playing? The Forlunda Indians? I don't get that "V" type logo on the front of the jersey.They were once called Västra Frölunda (Western Frölunda), hence the 'VF' logo scheme. The team was described as playing 'Wild West' hockey partly due to the name and later on took the name Frölunda Indians. The jersey is a throwback.

Frankie Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The European teams that have been playing the NHL teams on their tours have worn sponsorless jerseys this week. It is refreshing to see, and you can see the history/heritage/culture of those clubs shine out, without being completely cheapened by ads on every shred of space.
