CC97 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Right, see what I mean? Looking through photo archives it seems it switched back and forth, randomly, throughout the seasonAh, I understand. I thought you meant the photo archives were showing whites at home for the whole season. Please excuse my dumbness.I know the dates at Getty can be wonky, especially for older pics. I did find this article on the Google News archive (scroll to bottom for the relevant part):http://www.nytimes.com/1992/01/17/sports/hockey-move-over-messier-broten-is-leading-the-way.htmlThe game was the last time the Rangers will wear white shirts at home this season. Following the All-Star Game break, they'll wear their blue road jerseys here in observation of yet another of the league's strange directives to all its teams as it celebrates its 75th anniversary.Fantastic, if that YouTube video didn't exist I'd be more inclined to just accept this article as fact and move on... now I'm even more confused than ever. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That supports the NY Times article; it was a post-All-Star break game and the home team (San Jose) was wearing their teal "road" jerseys (the Sharks logo is at center ice at 2:16).FWIW, I vaguely remember the mid-season switch. But I was only 10 years old so it's probably not worth too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Every time I check out bits from a Hurricanes game, I could never find any new jerseys in the crowd.In the front row, there's a line of fans with the new red home jersey. But I'm sure they got em' free for being exclusive season ticket holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I have 100% confirmation based off Getty Images and looking at the NHL schedule in 1991-1992 that after the All-Star break, teams went to the dark jerseys for the second half at home and then they went back to white at home during the playoffs.

Legend Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Every time I check out bits from a Hurricanes game, I could never find any new jerseys in the crowd.In the front row, there's a line of fans with the new red home jersey. But I'm sure they got em' free because they're season ticket holders.Was the same way for the Lightning for the first season and mostly the second after the new jerseys.But now unfortunately I'm seeing more of them.Such a fickle fan base in this area. A majority of fans hated the new look, yet more and more people just accept it and buy/wear it. I won't accept bull :censored:, and that's what the new look is.

Xodius Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 This trend has got to stop.I'm fine with it. They have a reveal date, and their teasers actually show something; 2 things Buffalo failed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 A majority of fans hated the new look, yet more and more people just accept it and buy/wear it.To be fair, doesn't every fanbase do just that?Orange as the main colour just doesn't work for the ducksI'm not sure if I'd want an orange jersey full time, but I'm at a point where I'd definitely like to see an orange jersey. If done right, it could work as an alternate uniform. As a full time primary sweater, it might be too much. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you definitely don't have to buy any jerseys/merch that features the new look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_X Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 about that 91-92 season, I know there is a Pro Set card from a game in Quebec City between the Blackhawks in their vintage and Nordiques in blue making the game color vs color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I haven't found that card yet, but there is one of Jeremy Roenick in the throwback against the Whalers. That surprised me, because I thought they were only worn in games against other Original 6 teams.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
