In case you may have missed it last weekend in the latest You're Wearing That? article, I made mention that the NHL is going back to having alternate jerseys next season. It's no surprise that the NHL and Rbk Hockey are going to re-introduce the alternate jerseys. There were a number of very good alternate jerseys before Rbk Hockey bought CCM and became the apparel designer for all 30 NHL teams. Of course, I talked extensively about the good and the not-so-good jerseys that Rbk Hockey redesigned last summer as the teams were re-introducing themselves to their fans in their new duds. If this feels like deja vu, you're not alone.The prevailing rumour is that there are up to 18 NHL teams considering adding an alternate jersey for the 2008-09 season. While no one has officially shown off any of their jerseys ideas, Philadelphia has already confirmed that they will be going back to an orange alternate jersey.
However, the Bruins have now shown off one of their finalists in the selection of their alternate jerseys. Let's take a look at the video evidence:
Possible Bruins alternate jersey for 2008-09.
What do you think? They've basically just exchanged the patch from the shoulder to the chest, and vice versa. There's also a little less colour. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Let me know in the comment section. Personally, it isn't bad, but I'm not overly fond of the lack of colour.
Anyway, the jersey watch starts again this summer. Be prepared!
Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
I really hope the Wild bring the green sweaters back, because they are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Kirsten. I liked the green better than the red jerseys.
ReplyDeleteWow. The Bruins weathered the Great Jersey Massacre of '07 and emerged unscathed. It makes sense that they should be punished with a third jersey like that. You know, for parity.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that the Caps will have a blue jersey that features the (current secondary) W-Capitol dome-eagle logo as the primary.
