New 3rd jerseys look to pay homage to the classic 80's Oilers. As someone said the other day, we haven't celebrated that team since February so this is nice.

Hahah, I laughed!

So as expected I guess. They are only wearing these 4 times though? I haven't bought an Adidas jersey yet so I will make a decision this year between the road white or this one.

I had to roll my eyes reading these called "retro". It's been one year since these were the home jerseys, and they're probably superior to the ones they're wearing now. Hard to call them retro when half the current team has hockey cards wearing these.

Hey now. This is celebrating 1 specific year, which was a pretty big one for the franchise. We can complain next year when we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the first cup win. Then next year will be the 35th of the next one. Then the next year can be the belated 30th anniversary celebration of the 90 cup win. Best to not do both of those at the same time, don't want to blow peoples minds.

I wonder if Montreal has this issue at all, or if having multiple great eras made it so that they were capable of moving past that and focusing on the now...

I've always thought that the Habs were smart to make greats in to "Ambassadors" for the franchise, rather than handing them the reins and asking them to manage it. Although that hasn't stopped them handing key roles to alumni, but at least it means that guys like Richard and Beliveau weren't soiled by their mishandling of the management...

It bothers me to see the Hall of Fame guys involved with the management because it taints them with the wretched failure that's been the Lowe/MacTavish era Oilers.

I'm torn with this new jersey, I've always like this design as an Oilers jersey, preferred this to the 90 and 00's look with the Oilman on the shoulders. However, we redid this once before, we then brought this back and so why do it again. I know I'm in the minority by wanting to have the original McFarlane shirt back, but that was exactly what a 3rd jersey should be. Different to what we've got, a different logo and to be fair that was well thought out no matter what people say, everything had a meaning. The colours worked well. I'd rather a 3rd be that than a rehash of something previously, especially when it's already been done.

I would have bought a new 3rd jersey, but I've got a original of this one, so no need to buy again.

1 Cup

I remember watching the Apprentice, or maybe Celebrity Apprentice, one season and they were tasked with designing a marketing plan for some Trump property. And so both teams got to consult with a marketing company and came up with different ideas and angles. They had to do a big presentation to the Trumps, and at the end all the Trumps were just like "No, none of these are any good, we like big gold letters." or something similar.

I wonder if the 3rd jersey presentations went along a similar track. A bunch of interesting or different designs and then Kevin looks at Daryl and says:

"What about an 80's throwback?"

Wayne looks up, so startled he nearly spills his wine. Mark, leading as always, tears up a bit.

"KEVIN YOU GENIUS! YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!" shouts Katz, "Peter make it happen! But before you go, grab us another bottle from the cellar."



You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.

I take it back. This isn't about the inaugural season, this is about the dynasty teams again. They omitted Hamilton from the patch who was on the team for the first season, and has his name in the rafters.

The team has upset the old guard of reporters with this one. Matheson is even actually critical of the Oilers over this. It's takes a pretty big screw-up to for Matty to suggest there's something wrong!

It's fine. Don't mess with a good thing, and it is a good jersey. I actually really like all three current jerseys (I'm a fan of the orange).

It's always fun to get something new and shiny, but this is a classic.

But with that said, sure hope the Oilers don't hope to sell many of these. Everyone already has one of these McDavid ones.

Orange has run its course, please bring back the Navy home jerseys.
Look way sharper, meaner. There's a reason sports teams go for the dark colours for the home uniforms, way back to the Oakland Raider's black.

Hard to bring a convincing intimidation factor dressed up like a traffic pylon.

Also, when you are trying to find open spots on the ice, where the D man will forget about you for the moment it takes to shoot in a loose puck, orange will always catch your attention, that's why they use it for safety vests, its eye catching. JMHO.


Also.. liked the switch they made in the 90's from orange to copper .. closer representation of the namesake .. "oil" .. again JMHO. Actually that would be an interesting jersey all copper with Navy stripes and shoulder patches .. no white stripes.. sorry Meg.

...anyone know a website where you can make a custom jersey mock up with that criteria?

I made one (jpeg) but not sure how to post.. I don't have instagram or any other photo type account to post an image url..
it looks OK, but the "copper" colour/material would have to be just right, same with the navy, so it doesn't come off as being a shade of brown, maybe a material with a sheen to it would help.

I noticed watching some Condor's highlights that Bakersfield did the inverse color scheme for their home jersey. What do you guys think? Should the Oilers have used this dark blue as their third jersey? I think it looks cool.

You know what, I agree that it's time to go copper again. Especially now the caps are off it we can own that scheme.
