I feel like a third jersey should have an alternate logo, but otherwise a solid outing.

Sweet ripoffs brah.

@Darkwing Psyduck -- no chevrons on sleeves. This is metallic gold, not dijon mustard yellow.

 

[TheLegend]

Cheap knockoff of the current Coyotes jersey design with a color change..... Yotes are hinting hard they’re dropping them for the original kachina design anyway so there won’t be any confusion.

They’ll sell a gazillion of them.

Backstory

 

[LadyStanley]

Went to team store to get gold jersey today. Want it customized (to existing player on roster). 12 weeks they say for customization (which would make it not available until after Christmas; early January to be specific.)

Gonna be popular. (And guessing they are trying to ensure folks know it might not be available for Christmas.)

Sweet ripoffs brah.

I think they'd look better if they used the Penguins other gold on the jerseys (I don't know how to post pictures).

Lil Jon, former Thrashers fan. Fair play to him for jumping on board Vegas as a fan free agent.

That would have looked nice, but that shade/fabric hasn't been available since the switch to the Edge jerseys and I haven't seen anything to indicate that's changed. The 'real' vegas gold on those Pens jerseys was sharp and good...the nearly flat beige that RBK replaced it with significantly less so.


I like this a decent bit, but I'm a sucker for gold jerseys. I love Pittsburgh's, I love LA's throwbacks, I love Nashville's, I even really liked Nashville's old alternates that everyone hated. This would have been a good chance for an alternate logo to make an appearance, though I'm not a fan of Vegas's actual alternate logo so I guess whatever.

I hated the winnie the pooh jerseys.
In fact, all of those 1995 third jerseys were awful

No, but not because of the color.

That is some nasty-ass trim and logo design. Now replace the black accents with brown, make the trim and yoke more reasonable, and use a quality bear logo (more stoic Montana Grizzlies-esque and less mid-90s era UCLA smiling bruin) and that jersey would at least appeal to me, even if everyone else would complain
Boston's 2010 Winter Classic jerseys are my favorite Bruins jersey and I'm probably alone in that thought.

The less said about the alternates our teams debuted there, the better. Pretty much all-around for that 1995-96 class of alternates.

I never liked the robopenguin, but I despise every single element of that first alternate jersey. I'm jealous of the too shameful to wear beyond 1996 class...I can't handle the robopenguin being retro chic now.

I think the robo penguin was one of the better ones

I loved the old Canuck skate logo and wish they never got rid of it, but it was so bad in red

and that is before even mentioning the Burger King jersey or the Ducks' wild wing one

Backstory

I came here first to see just how bad and plasticky Wayne Newton looks now, then for the backstory.

 

[LadyStanley]

And looks like a fourth jersey coming too.

Red jersey is nice but I’m sure 90% of their fans have no idea who the Thunder are.
