From the information that's been released, I'm putting together a master third jersey schedule. Here's what we've got so far.

Click to enlarge. Abbreviations: Deb - Debut for third jersey; O6 - Worn against Original Six team; 1st - Worn in first game of the season; Fin - Worn in finale game of the season; Rd - Worn in a road game.
At some point, I'll make this spreadsheet available via Google Docs. For now, have a look. See how many times your favorite team shows up either wearing a third jersey for facing a team that is.
Carolina, Edmonton and Atlanta dominate the list because they are the only three teams that have released complete schedules (that I know of).
By the way, I've read the comments and emails. I know you guys are longing for concept art but it's been pretty nuts around here with all the third jersey news. I haven't quite had time for it. But fret not, I'll have a treat for you later today. It's Friday!
It's Friday, right? I hope so, 'cause I don't have school on Fridays, and I'm home right now.
ReplyDeleteThe Leafs won yesterday.. against the Wings. Remarkable.
i thought the third logos on center ice was a preseason thing... but the sabres had the retro logo for the season opener... the tease continues?
ReplyDeleteI personally think it is ridiculous that the NHL is constantly bringing out these 3rd jerseys. I know it is a quick fix for solving revenue issues as they will sell, but I think it is more important for teams to stick with a logo and create a brand around it instead of often changing it so often. my thoughts: http://jib-sports-culture.blogspot.com/2008/11/nhl-third-jerseys.html
