Rice 42 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 They've really grown on me since we first saw them at the beginning of the season. If Hossa re-signs, I think I'm going to pick one up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 I like the Winter Classic jersey, and I'm sure it will be considered as their official third jersey replacing the old red, white, and black jersey. I'd like it better they dropped the shoulder patches. It's very clean and simple. I've also considered getting a Hossa Winter Classic and may still even if he doesn't sign.

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 I think Detroit has black practice jerseys The black jerseys used to be worn by the "Black Aces", reserve players who practice with the team and are ready to step in if a regular gets injured.

I'm a big fan of the black practice jerseys, but there are more than enough black in-game jerseys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DyingAlive 27 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 Lets go with a 3rd jersey dedicated to the Octopus! Primary color purple with the octopus on the front. We'd look fly sporting the purple and red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 I'm all for it being a 3rd jersey. Fairly simple but it still stands out. Problem is though I think pretty much all 3rd jerseys in the league right now aren't white. Don't know if that makes much of a difference/not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted April 11, 2009 I like it as a third jersey, though I'd like to keep it to O6 opponents. However, given that we don't see Toronto, NY, Boston and Montreal that much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzermania 156 Report post Posted April 12, 2009 I love the WC jerseys and hope they do rotate them in every now and then. It was also nice seeing Pavs have the A on it as I an I'm sure many others ordered theirs with an A originally even though he didn't have it in the original game.

Zetterbeard40 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2009 I agree, the Winter classics would be a cool third jersey, however, i think it would be best to take off the shoulder patches, making it a true throwback....maybe wear it against original six teams much like the Leafs do with their throwback. As for black third jerseys, not a chance...Not only is Mr I a huge fan of tradition, but black is not even a colour in our logo, therefore, it should not be on the jersey.

The Red Wings have never, ever worn a black jersey in an NHL game. That was a promotional jersey only. It never made it to the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey now, even joking that's not funny. Last time we dropped the watch we ended up with teal in The Palace. Count me down for traditionalism. 3rd jerseys are ok for fans but not for game use.
