Habs Retro "Expos" Sweater is official

[GHT120]

 

 

LOVE it ... and no "faux-laces" at the collar 👍

[Prime Minister Koivu]

I’m going to get a Slafkovsky jersey - I love the colour 

[Commandant]

Ordered a Cole Caufield.

Very nice! I won't be buying one as I have stopped acquiring more sweaters but will be happy to see people wearing these!

[The Chicoutimi Cucumber]

Pretty good. Nothing beats the white with the blue band, IMHO, but any nod to the Expos is a good thing.

[xXx..CK..xXx]

I haven’t had time to think but it will be between Suzuki and Caufield. My last one was Weber with the “C”.

 

I’d like a Caufield one the most, but Suzuki with the “C” is an equal playing field.

 

I will report back once I decide… Right now I am leaning Caufield but it will be interesting to see what I actually decide.

Am sure will sell lots of them, not horrible and they have worse versions I guess.

Even though I appreciate the Expos, I actually preferred last year’s dark blue version, which everyone hated.

 

Either way, I’ll end up having both.

I've come to have a soft spot even for the hideous barber pole jerseys.

So mainly games that aren’t really ones you’d really be eager to go to anyways.

I didn’t mind the jersey at the unveiling. 
 

But now I’ve watched a game with it in action. 

no. 
 

it just feels wrong to cheer for the blue hockey team - even if that blue is expos blue. 
 

I need some red either on the shoulders or back.

The unis are bad 

[BCHabnut]

The 1945 1946 white with blue stripe is my favorite retro sweater.  I wish they'd use it more often

[Neech]

Hopefully we lose every game in these ugly jerseys and never wear them again.

I think we are the one team that doesn’t need a retro/reverse retro jersey, and if we HAVE to have one, go with the classic 50’s jersey.

100%. That one was/is spectacular. 

 

I thought these "Expos" ones looked kinda neat, UNTIL I saw them actually in action on the ice. Yeech.

[Neech]

We should wear the whites at home for 8 games if we want to switch things up.

These Expos sweaters are gorgeous, though, compared to the vile thing the Panthers were wearing today.

Reminded me of the old Penguins. Yuck

Seems overwhelming  for this iteration. 

 

Maybe red pants or  red stripe or something could of made more appealing, i dunno?

Agree ... there needed to be some red ... somewhere other than the logo
