3rd jersey speculation
- Thread starter AD Skinner
- Start date
Black with some sort of other secondary colors.
A logo in the center of the front of the jersey.

And made of some breathable material.
Made by Adidas with an NHL shield at the bottom of the collar. I think we got a real winner here.

I definitely think it'll just be the old black uniform with the Adidas template. They might change up the arm stripes to conform more to the aways, but that's probably the extent of it.
That being said, I also can't shake the feeling that Dundon is going to bring back the Whale with the 3rds.

I think a black version of the aways is definitely possible. They seemed so proud of the red on red flags (I don't really care for them) when they unveiled the new homes so I still think those might carry over. But if you invert the black and white on the aways that's probably a decent looking jersey, though maybe a bit too NJ Devils-y.

I could go on a somewhat verbose rant here, but I feel like this is an instance where a single image best depicts my take on that. To wit:

Is there a 3 jersey limit next year? I could see us going black with the 3rd and having a throwback whale we break out once or twice. The NBA already went this direction, it would make sense for the NHL to follow suit.

Going to be the Canes logo but in Whalers colors
But only on St. Patrick's Day.
And instead of local food, the dessert will be mini Carvel Fudgie O'Whales.

Part of me wants to sit back and watch HFB burn after the Canes come out in the green Whale jerseys to Brass Bonanza in the PNC Arena in front of all us 'undeserving' fans. We already saw one meltdown when we sold some shirts in the Eye and played BB at a break in play, but I think that one would top them all. Maybe we can break them out when we play Boston, just to twist the knife a little more for the away broadcast.
I haven't gotten a jersey in forever. I don't care what it looks like, I'm getting a Svechnikov one.

Fugly doesn't begin to describe that abomination.

This has all the makings of a complete disaster written all over it. The only thing that could make this worse would be some damn four leaf clover stuck on it somewhere.

My gut tells me black with Whalers green and/or blue accents. Maybe a clover tied in somewhere since TD loves those things.

Correct me if I’m wrong as I don’t pay nearly as much attention to other leagues as the NHL. He said that very soon after becoming the team’s owner and fully admitting he doesn’t know much about this league. The other big four leagues seem to have “throwback” type nights where they wear jerseys from the teams history. The NHL doesn’t do that really. Maybe Dundon’s comment was wishful thinking without understanding that the NHL seems to stick to a rotation of three jerseys barring special circumstances like anniversaries and Winter Classics/Stadium Series games. Perhaps he didn’t say it to mean it would be a permanent fixture, but rather “why not show our past like other leagues”

I think Dundo is pretty seriously misreading the market if he believes that rolling our team out in Whalers-themed gear is gonna fly. It's one thing to sell retro jerseys in the Eye; it's a completely different thing to put them on the ice. But we'll see. He said he'd do it, and he tends to do what he says he's gonna do.

He did also mention something regarding a stadium series type game shortly after buying a team, so it's a possibility there but that's also about the only place I can see that happening.

My guess would be the design for this jersey pre-dates Dundon being owner, and I'm doubting they had time for an overhaul when he took over. I'm guessing relatively close to the previous blacks, perhaps with more color as mentioned. Probably much ado about nothing, and every small decision seems to be here at this point.

No to the green and blue.
They won't do that anyhow, can't keep the same helmets, gloves, etc. Would require ALL new equiment.

I mostly agree, but the fact that Dundon specifically mentioned the possibility of putting Whalers themed jerseys on the ice gives me pause.

A Canes motif with Whaler colours or a Canes colour scheme with a Whalers logo.
