Rumor: New Oilers Third Jersey

[rec28]

I want these rugged jerseys back

Yes! We've done the retro thing long enough and badly soiled the memory of those jerseys inside and out. To me, the major changes in the front office, an incoming proto-superstar, and all of the optimism surrounding this upcoming season more than justify a visual break from the recent past.

I'd love a black jersey. Something similar to the San Jose ones.

Or at least something darker, like the left one here.

Agreed, I've always wanted to see what the Oilers would look like in a black jersey. Just like you said with SJ but maybe more like the Hawks Black Winter Classics.

These don't look that bad

The best look would be to combine those two. Use the socks with the thicker stripes from the top picture, but the number style from the bottom. The numbers have to be white with a blue outline to work for this IMO. Those blue numbers just look gross to me.

As much as people **** on the guy, Richard Cloutier mentined this on Twitter a couple of weeks back.

I highly doubt the Oilers would release a third jersey. Usually reebok style guides are out by now and places like Icethetics would have some type of leak of news regarding a potential alternate.

Now, I wouldn't be surprised if one is in the works... But I'd be extremely surprised if one dropped on draft day with very little buzz.

Everytime I hear about some new/third jersey I think about the fashion show bit from Slapshot.

Google it.

"Ensemble No. 32, entitled "Omar Sharif"

"It's good publicity. You fellas have not been drawing them in the way you have in the past."

etc. etc.

This one looks especially nice with dress shoes & mustard stained sweatpants.

yikes

I really like the okc jersey. Yeah it's darker orange, but I think it is a good mix and doesnt overwhelm you.

 

[scb23]

Love the orange. I'd be more than fine with it if they went with those as a third.

The copper/blue/red was horrible. I sincerely hope we never see that combination come back! Hated it! Along with the spawn 3rd's, god those were disgusting.

Thanks, I pretty much said the same thing in the first jersey thread, with the 2016-17 opener being the debut.

Unlikely that anything happens this year, I guess either Gregor needs to kill air time, or the org had somehow hidden the production process from everyone. Likely the former.

 

[Titsuple]

This one?

YA I like that. Modern!

 

[RattsSSV]

A nice option.

We could never be friends.

I agree. It's pretty sleek.

 

[PBandJ]

If they're similar to those OKC jerseys, I'm down.

 

[Faelko]

Perfect! Nikitins pylon impression is now complete!

 

[CanadianSuperPromise]

This one?

Oh man. If they could clean that dark jersey up a bit and insert the OEG logo in, that would be oh so sexy. Someone please do a mock up. You could even keep the original Oilers logo in and put the OEG logo as shoulder patches.

I did a quick mock up a while ago.

Honestly...I think it would make a better shoulder patch than a primary logo. Its too simplistic IMO.

 

[MCDAVIDISH]

Siiiiick, I love the orange.

I agree.

I agree, I edited my post to say that before I saw your comment.

A dark jersey >>>> orange jersey.

 

[Soundwave]

While I'm not that keen on an orange jersey, I can see it. McDavid is a marketing bonanza for the Oilers, they probably pushed for a third jersey immediately after finding out they had the pick.

Gotta start cashing in.

 

[Paralyzer]

I did a quick mock up a while ago.

Have Oilers written on the bottom of the blue/black U centered and it would look SICK! That is a great modern logo!

Here's something I photoshopped a while ago for a Yak wallpaper:

I just slapped my (old) site's logo onto it but I think it looks neat.
