squ1g33 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Like to hear others' ideas. I am not a fan of the throwbacks, but.... I really like the "leather" look gloves - those are awesome. For a 3rd jersey as a permanent option I would really think it would be cool to have a "black&white/sepia version of our current look. In other words, the way we would see pictures of "old school players" in that faded sepia look even though they are still donning the BBR. Is there some way of manufacturing a material to look like this (without looking shiny)? Then, use the "leather" look gloves and voila! one hell of a unique and yet nostalgic look. Thoughts?

74Kos-yn-31Price Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Sorry but black and white is littering the league... thats a no go in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squ1g33 Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Sorry but black and white is littering the league... thats a no go in my opinion I think you are missing the point with "Sepia" - this dilutes the starkness of simple black & white, with more of an antique hue to it. Hence why I feel it is unique and traditional all in one. The Red would be more of a very faded Grey The White would be more of an ever-so- slightly filled deep jaune. Bleu would be a darker richer version of the red. Kind of like when you buy an expensive pair of jeans that have a "slightly" worn out look to it, so you dont have to where brand spanking new ugly-arse jeans for 1 year until they look good.

squ1g33 Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Here, I found a picture that shows the uniforms in "sepia". A lot of people think it is Black and white, but it is not. The colours are a warmer version of black and white. http://pics.classicauctions.net/classicauc...ons/17/107b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest habs1952 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I don't care how many jerseys the Habs have but blue and white reminds me of failure, although we did the colours proud tonight. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strollerhnjhjjhjkind Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 What is the 3rd jersey for, exactly? Well IMO, it would be cool to wear the 100years-jerseys against the original six, even after december 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptWelly Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I agree I would like to see the old jerseys against origianl 6 teams, it would even be better if they wore retro jerseys also. I know most don't but I liked the blue jerseys even if they may remind some of another team. I love they old style leather gloves and I tought Careys mask was great.

ewraras Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Third jerseys are great for small market teams with small followings as a way to generate extra revenue. But we're the freakin' Habs, and we don't need to litter the sports stores with cash-grab marketing ploys. The vintage white jersey pictured above is okay and I don't mind seeing it once or (maybe) twice in a season, but that's as far as that sort of silliness goes - we do NOT need a 3rd jersey.

Kubby31 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 From what Iremember that is our 3rd jersey... Haven't seen it in a few years though. I think that the reason we have not seen it in a while is for the fact that last season...and again by the looks of things,this season....with all the woop haw lately regarding 100ys/bicentinal celebrations and all....we have been show casing all the teams vintage jerseys. If not for this,I believe we would only see the 3rd jersey as pic above maybe twice in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownSugarl Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Agreed, AllHail... Hopefully, after Dec 4th, we'll be back to good ol' bleu-blanc-rouge for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
