...from 20,000 fathoms.

Engage speculation!

I particularly like the Thrashers jersey, and the Flyers.

I'm all about those Montreal Jerseys with the stripes. :roll:

Why would they bring those back? Who in their right mind would want to buy that jersey? After all isn't the point of the alternate jersey to sell more jerseys?

I like the Canes' jerseys. Very sharp.

by **Pitts** on Sun Aug 31, 2008 9:50 pm

The Bolts jersey is sharp!

by **Twisted Wrister** on Sun Aug 31, 2008 9:53 pm

I love the Yotes, Canes, Thrashers, and the Bolts. All very nice

They're celebrating their 100th anniversary. Neither of their thirds will probably stick around past the season.

I realize that, but they are not using their original jersey, they are from 1915-1916 and 1912-1913. And the striped jersey is still hideous. They might only be sticking around for this year, but they are still hoping to sell them.

And believe it or not people probably will buy them. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that the number one decider for them in choosing these jerseys appears to be to celebrate their history while just selling jerseys would be secondary.

I got you now. I agree with that point.

I always like the Chicago black jerseys.

Carolina's is ok, but they are hampered by the team name.

The Senators' is weird. The letters go the wrong way to me and make it just look like random letters.

Wow. I thought I was going to have a seizure when I saw those striped habs jerseys. :shock:

I want a coyotes jersey. They look awesome. The canes jersey seems really crowded with the stars added to the bottom. They probably could've done without them.

edit: sharks have a good one and the blues look surprisingly good to me

by **canaan** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 7:09 am

coyotes, flyers, bolts, pens --the best ones, imo

by **maudineormsby** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 8:09 am

Uh, well I don't know how bad the Habs striped jersey will really look in the flesh - remember that LCD's tend to create more contrast than there is in real life (especially with whites), and also that the colors will probably be softened somewhat by the manufacturing.

Still hideous, but just some food for thought.

All of the ones that were meant to be "throwbacks" (except the Habs) look good. I'm very unimpressed with the rest, except maybe the Kings

I can't see how any color combination could save that pattern.

by **spi** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 9:51 am

most of those jerseys are weak. Lets just do a solid color and write our name on the front. :roll:

What is the purpose. Any team that went back to an earlier jersey is ok, all the others are a waste. Most notable from this category are the bolts, sens, yotes, dallas, and LA.

by **Guido** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 10:01 am

Phoenix's is nasty. Hands down.

Senators are up there for Worst Jersey

I agree. I hate the Senators', Kings' and Blues' jerseys. Most of them I love though; very old school, which is great.

I agree. Someone else mentioned the letters looking like they go the wrong direction. I thought the same thing. In general I'm not a fan of letters on the front of the jersey. Too much like baseball and very unimaginative. I prefer the more throw-back styles like the Pens, Canucks, etc.

by **Idoit40fans** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 10:46 am

I like the coyotes and bolts jerseys.

by **DocEmrick** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 10:46 am

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen letters put in that positioning, diagonally, right-to-left, upward. That's just too awkward and goes against the norm, I.E. diagonally, right-to-left, downward.

Canes and Bruins are my favorite.
