Ugliest 3rd Jersey I've ever seen

yes it has been noted before, however it was thrown into the more important issue of a tendon being sliced.

First time I saw them I thought they were prison uniforms.

What really takes the cake, though, is they're one "k" away from having "Cack" on the front of their jerseys.

I guess I wasn't the only one trying to think up a "CAC" joke.

Thankfully, we won't have to see them for another hundred years. ;)

They're using their vintage jerseys twice each in the season, these'll actually be out for another game.

The stripes are a little bit too much though, indeed. The centennial throwbacks I really like are their 1915 uniforms (the ones with the red CA logo).

When that game was airing and I opened the TV, I had thought it was the maple leafs against boston until i saw at the corner MTL ... I was like WTF !!! Lmfao, that jersey is plain ugly they should get fined and suspend that jersey to ever be in a game again.

I don't know... I actually like the jerseys. I think with a less-stripey sock, it might look good. It's good for an occasional vintage look but it shouldn't be an every day thing. The old turn of the century stripes, the ugly uniforms of the 70's... they work today as the once in a while vintage look but would be bad as a constant.

I am strangely amazed at how this didn't cause Maple Leaf fans to go into a state of pandemonium. I know this is a throwback, but to have their arch-nemesis daunting a blue maple leaf on their sweater, even if they look like are inmate suits...could lead to a civil war!

Yeah, but it's a traditional jersey so it gets a pass. I thought the candy cane socks at the Winter Classic were kind of cheesy but that's looking at them through a modern paradigm which is not appropriate when judging vintage specimens.

For example, the Coliseum in Rome was designed using column designs from three different Greek architectural periods. The Romans found the design attractive because they valued the sort of inclusiveness it represented, tying together the three different time periods. The Greeks however would have thought it foolish because they did not have the same values.

That said, yeah from our modern era of cool and aggressive jerseys, that Montreal one looks goofy, but it is a throwback and it's value is in recognizing the Habs heritage.
