Def doesn’t translate to tv and not sure the old school brown gloves helped the look either. Never saw one in person, just on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, just my opinion and am sure all versions would appeal to someone. I had em backwards. You meant same as BCHabNut. Yeah, the jersey I was praising as one of the all-time best hockey jerseys is the white jersey from 1944-47. http://hockeybydesign.com/2020/06/worst-to-first-jerseys-montreal-canadiens/ I would get rid of the Habs' current white jerseys and go with that as our full-time white road jersey. It's simply magnificent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 99% sure Lang suffered his season-ending injury that game. A critical blow to that team, almost as bad as losing Markov. We really did not get the luck we needed in the Centennial Year, and clearly the barber-pole jerseys are to blame. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Anyways, glad topic came up, other wise would just be crickets on here. I still don't think any big changes needed to Habs jersey, maybe a tweek or two for the home & away versions would be fine and will happen; but, can skip on any special occasion one. If gonna start early Jan, I imagine training camp will need to start by mid-Dec. or sooner eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeline you mention makes sense and hard to see them getting to that point in time. and after Xmas holidays, I fear the COVID situation will only be worse. I have been wrong plenty of times so for the sake of hockey and life in general I hope I am wrong again on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simply magnificent. That’s a cool read, thanks for linking. I do like that jersey as well, a lot more than the similar one with the white “C” in the logo (seems to wash it out). That red, green one is kind of cool too, in that it is so different than the usual. Could be a cool jersey for a St. Patrick’s day game, maybe paired with green pants and helmets or something. could be sacrilegious to mess with the colours like that tho haha.

Lehtonen (the finnish defenceman the Leafs signed last year) was just released from his KHL contract and is headed to Toronto. Another sign that camps will be opening soon.

My advice on this is always the same: go with a retired player. (I have Harvey and Morenz jerseys at home, LOL, but that might be a bit extreme; although the Morenz one is a nice way to separate the real fans from the lightweights). Picking a retired guy removes any danger of the guy getting traded, having scandals or battles with coach/management, suffering a career-compromising injury, etc. DO NOT go with any young player - too much risk of ending up with a jersey that just seems silly in retrospect. Who is really proud of their KOMISAREK or DOMI jersey today? The only one from the current group that, to my mind, is absolutely risk-free is #31. No matter what happens with him going forward, he will always be a legend and a guaranteed Hall of Famer. That jersey will never lose its appeal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will likely buy the reverse jersey but am thinking of placing my own name on it since I already have the Weber jersey. Not finalized though. I might go with an actual player. I think Gallagher would look nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'm a jersey collector so I have a lot Blue C (2009) - Plekanec Barbershop - Markov (with A) Vintage CCM with 1993 Stanley cup playoffs patch - Roy Classic Blue Blanc et Rouge (4) - Weber (with C), Subban, Price, Domi Centennial Classic (Ottawa Outdoor game) - Drouin White Home - #4 with a Captain's C, but no name for Mr. Beliveau who played the majority of his career with No Name on his jersey.... (only his last season had them) Blue stripe White jersey (40s version) - #9 No name. I messed this one up though, I got a captain's C on the front, I shouldn't have as he didn't get the C til after the jersey was discontinued. CA jersey 1916 - Cammalleri (with A) Christmas Tree Red and Green - Gionta (with A, by the time he got the C, they stopped using it) Winter Classic (Boston Game) - Pacioretty (with C) 75th anniversary NHL (1991-92) - Patrick Roy (this one was grade 6, so no longer fits lol) I'm definitely getting a reverse retro... Probably Suzuki. I've also got some Team Canada Jerseys with Subban (2009 World Junior 3rd), Weber (2014 Olympics Black), Price (2014 Olympics Red), Doughty (2010 Olympics), Mario Lemieux (2002 Olympics Black), Subban (2014 Olympics white), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
