Hopefully the Habs NEVER come out with a 3rd jersey that ugly!

Jesus H!
That's the worst third jersey I've ever seen. And that include the old NYI one (with a fisherman or Kermit the Frog or something on the front) and the Bruin's sickly yellow one.
Heaven help wehoever designed them. Maybe they found out that the freezing unit in the arena went kablooey and they're going to use those jerseys to see each other in the fog....

I meant, by Laviolette's wife ;-) 3d jerseys exist for purely marketing reasons - ie, to sell more merchandise, and to have some jerseys that appeal more to a young audience than the usual, "conventionnal" jerseys.

Blue? BLUE? we are not the Maple Leafs or the Nordiques. WE ARE THE HABS. THE CANADIENS. We need RED and more RED on that jersey ;D
BTW isn't that the 3rd jersey the Nucks had a few years ago..or at least close to it?

If the Habs ever got a 3rd jersey I think they should make it pretty much the same one they wore during the 75th anniversary year, when all the original 6 teams were wearing old-style jerseys, or some other old-style jersey.
The Isles jersey is awful, but the Flyers one just might be worse. UGH. What kind of fool comes up with this sh-t?

i knew ppl were gonna get on me about the blue, but it's the only of our 3 colours that isn't on a jersey. that jersey is very different then the canucks old 3rd (can be viewed at www.nhluniforms.com/ in the 1990's section, 96-97 season ((really cool site)) it's quite similar to the flames old road, minus the stupid ribbon coming off on the bottom, didn't even notice till i was finished) *for all of you like marc who dispise the idea of having a blue 3rd but are up for seeing a red and or white 3rd i'll make one and post it on there asap

you know what..... I actually like that red Habs idea.... it's different, but it's not wacky enough to put off purists. The blue one's a tragedy, sorry, but that red, you might be onto something.
I'm big on the canucks third, BIG on it. The leafs... ehh, I could go either way, not too crazy about it, but then again I hate the leafs so the uglier their jerseys the better.

to tell you the truth i really only put thought into the first habs concept... the second is just their road with the blue and red switched... almost every team seems to think their thirds have to be new age it seems, and they totally over do it, with the jerseys i made i just used simple colors and simple designs.

Those Isles 3rds are the butt-ugliest (next to Nashvilles puke yellow "things") sweaters I have seen in a long time. The Flyers' look pretty cool. I'm not big on orange or anything, but I think last year was the first year Philly didn't wear orange on the road, so they look kind of traditional. Call me a wierdo, but I loved the old "Captain Highliner" Isle's Jerseys. Hell, I have one hanging in my living room (I'm kind of a jersey collector). I used to design jerseys in my spare classes in high school, just for lack of anything better to do. I came up with some pretty cool ones, and even sent some to NHL teams (oddly enough the two teams I sent work to were NYI, and Philly...go figure). I still have my rejection slip from the Isles .

don't the flyers now have 4 jerseys - black, white and now two orange?
I am a traditionalist and believe the Habs should stick with the 2. other teams may have to play that marketing game but my Habs have the classic jersey with one of the all time classic logos. I agree with RR that if there is a third it should just be an older version preferably tied by a lace at the collar.

If the flyers and Islanders players wore white turtlenecks, they would look like a bunch of Creamsicle's on the ice!!

The Habs should stick with 2, unless someone can come up with a design that would be innovative and classic, not like the boring as hell leafs third jersey. I understand that teams come out with a third jersey to generate income, but give us a break, make it look reasonable and appealing, not appaling.
BTW I live in Ottawa and the Senators have a promotion going that you can trade in your Laffs or Habs jersey for a discount on a Sens jersey. Why don't they do a jersey swap instead. Attendance has been brutal here and I don't know how long they'll be here, they were about 3,000 below capacity for the last habs game and about 1500 under for the Laffs game the following Monday.

How about a picture of Bettman on Cheesecutters skating with a walker on the front? Red background with Rejean Houle apologizing on the left arm and Serge Savard handing Monica Lewinsky one of his stogies on the right.

Yuk!! They are both sick looking but the Islanders Sweater is worse than the Flyers Sweater. I like the Leafs 3rd Sweater though, better than their regular sweater. I like the Home White/Blue with the Draw String tie. I think the draw string tie on Hockey Sweaters looks better than the regular style.

Last time I looked, their 3rd Sweater was the String Tie Home colour.
