Gabrielor 133 Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 A whole week to announce a jersey? Biron also said something about 'surprises'... I'd happily take the 50th one's as a third. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabel79 652 Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 I am 50% ecstatic that they're finally going back to the proper color, and 50% dreading it, as the entire endeavor is sure to be hilariously botched in some respect, as PSE just can't help themselves. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember when the slug came out after Larry Quinn had the original road jersey on display at a press conference as the "new 3rds". That sucked. One thing that bugs me is that they seemed to know the navy colour scheme didn't work: the 40th anniversary, the 50th anniversary, and the two Winter Classic jerseys were far more popular than the ones they normally used. Although they were not my taste, I think they consider having the shoulder patches have the red-black-grey of the demonic goat and crossed sabres as a nod to those fans. JMO.

An entire week sounds pretty silly, especially if everything is so dire that 1/3 of the scouting department needed to be axed plus all the other cost-cutting. I mean... Seattle unveiled an entire franchise (video, overlong speeches, name, and jerseys) in about 35 minutes. I guess there's desperation to distract us from the start of the actual Stanley Cup playoff?

That won't happen in the next 4 years so at least look good, looking like crap. I am 100% sure they will still fck the whole jersey up because that's what happens every time they try to give the fans something we want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LabattBlue 524 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Good or bad jerseys, they aren’t getting another penny out of me until they show that they know what they are doing. 17 years as STH did me in. No more tix, merchandise, or anything else. Watch the games for free on TV, and that’s it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
