, Throughout sports history, a team will generally have both a jersey for games played on the Road, and for games played in front of the home town fans. In the NHL, every single team has both a Road and Home jersey. For the most part, when on the road an NHL team will wear a predominately white uniform, and a dark uniform for home games. This jersey theme remained consistent until the 1995 season when more and more Nhl 3Rd Jerseys teams began to use third (or alternate) jerseys. NHL Third Jerseys were great for the fans as a whole new look was added to their favorite team giving a little extra variety. Some of these jerseys were a complete redesign, Nhl 3Rd Jerseys where as other used a throwback look to help bridge the gap between younger and older fans.
Many Third Jerseys throughout the programs history have proved to be very successful amongst the team fan base. Teams like the Atlanta Thrashers and Philadelphia Flyers have adopted their previously used third jerseys into their home jerseys. But for every successful alternate jersey, there are also many failed attempts. The Anaheim Mighty Ducks introduced an absolutely ugly jersey in the early stages of the program. This jersey was very unpopular, and was quickly retired the following season.
What I like about most of the NHL Jerseys being introduced today is that they are taking a more simplistic approach and introducing features from the early Nhl 3Rd Jerseys years. Quite a few of the more recent third jerseys even feature lace surrounding the neck area. One of my personal favorites is the St. Louis Blues who while introducing a new logo kept things very simple with a nice dark blue jersey. Throwback jerseys are also becoming very popular again where teams are re-introducing older styled jerseys using today\'s technology. Remember those old bright Calgary Flames jerseys? Yup, they\'re back! And looking better than ever I must say.
So which team as the third jersey that you like the most?
