bell75 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 When we're red, the opposing team is always white. That's kind of boring for the fans at the Bell Centre night after night. But when we're white, the fans get to see varying colours from the opposition. Personally I prefer white at home and red on the road. How about you?

habsfanfla Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I grew up on white at home....late 60's 70's etc....but there is just something about that red jersey of ours being worn in Montreal...... it is something special...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the red jersey for sure but I can see the point about getting to see more variety by wearing the white. I think I would still go with the Red though.

A-K-46 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 i think if we started wearing white jerseys at home it would be a bit wierd, i grew up watching the habs play at hom ein red and in white and red looks so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate-the-great_mtl Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 we have the greatest home jersey ever(red), we should always wear red at home, except for the white third jersey every so often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gracie12 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Its interesting to hear so many young fans who associate red with home. Until recently (2003), white (or light) was always the home colour - for every team - and I have always associated white with home. Surprisingly, Ive always been more partial to the white. Its not that I dont love the red - i do - I just think the logo is more dramatic & powerful set against the stark white of the traditional white home jersey. I suspect we'll see status quo for a few more years & then in about a decade they'll probably switch back to the traditional white at home.

habsfan512 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I prefer the red one at home. old days - nothing like having to play the habs at the forum in their blood red shirt - I always felt more intimidating. Never felt the teal of San Jose as intimidating as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastian_mtl Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I prefer the white, no question. I'm not big on the red jersey at all, not that I hate it, I'm just not much for red. I've always wanted to see a 3rd (or 4th...whatever) jersey that was black. I have a black practice jersey and it looks nice. I think it would be interesting, every once in a while.

jcammalleri Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I like the Red, but I wonlt have a problem with the White when the league switches back to white jerseys for home teams. Although I'd love to see some teams completely eliminating the white. For example the following teams jerseys look ugly in white; Nashville, Calgary, Bruins, Philadelphia. There's no reason why Bruins for example should not be allowed to wear black at home and Yellow on the road. All the road teams wearing white gets boring after a while.

amine Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I love the red jersey at home but maybe the NHL could do the same thing that they do in the CHL? You wear the white jersey at home for the first half of the season then you switch for the coloured one for the second half. I think it could be cool...

I suspect we'll see status quo for a few more years & then in about a decade they'll probably switch back to the traditional white at home. It's funny cos through the 80's and 90's, I hated the fact that the home jersey's were white. I always fancied the red over the white. I guess in my mind the red was always the real jersey, to me the white was a secondary jersey... It's role, to make the distinction between the 2 teams playing, making it easier on the goalie. Could you imagine playing nets during the original 6 line up? Sure the wings red jersey wasn't quite the same red as the Habs jersey, but could make things very confusing for a goalie or even the defense.

leafsbaby08 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 All I can say is that our white 3rd jersey (the mid 40's era one) is the most beautiful hockey jersey i've ever seen. I'd really like to see that being worn more often. But other than that I really like the red jersey at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblejam Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I like the red jerseys, but I was conditioned growing up that white is for home jerseys. Why did the league switch anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
