GHT120 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 ***NOT*** that I want to mess with the classic ... but if the Habs were to look at a permanent third sweater then there are some interesting ideas here ... More realistically, just a celebration of fan creativity. https://twitter.com/search?q=montreal canadiens&src=typed_query&f=live His "top ten" from the submissions starts at 23:10 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of very good-looking and creative designs the Habs could milk as one-shots for some fabricated occasion ... but have to say I like both of the finalists.

tomh009 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 There are some nasty designs in that bunch! 😬 Really, it's hard to improve on the current classic design in red. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right at the very end (32-ish minutes) ... the one on the right "won" ... Liked both because of the colour ... but the abundance of fleur-de-lys in the winner makes it look like a Nordiques ripoff IMO (below) ... My favourite DRAMATIC option (sans the brown) was But my favourites were:. These are all screen captures from the above YouTube Video.

tomh009 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Yeah, the faux leather pants option was interesting. They could just do the classic Maroons sweater, without the fleurs-de-lis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Id go back to some of the throwbacks (white with blue stripe, the CA, the 91-92 3rd jersey for the nhl 75th) before a new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosophically agree ... but they have already made their money off the best of those in and around the centennial season ... any new 3rd sweater or "special event" sweater is really just to be a money-maker.

Bring back the 91-92 third jersey... . 30 years later there is money to be made there. Or the 24-25 jersey http://www.nhluniforms.com/Canadiens/Canadiens05.html Haven't sold that one yet I don't want a jersey that honours the Montreal Maroons or the Quebec Nordiques... NOPE... when they existed, they were the Habs biggest rivals. No jersey to honour a different franchise, and one that was a rival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Most team can barely come up with 1 good jersey and many alternate (retired version) jerseys are pretty bad, a la puke Yellow Bruin one or that seizure inducing candy-striped hab one. But, if they want to get more of fans $$, i suppose is easy way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
