My sister and I are native Minnesotans, which makes us qualified to comment on all things hockey. I decided to ask her for some comments on these new third jerseys for a few select NHL teams.
Ottawa Senators - The new Senators logo has really grown on me. I have a beer cozy with the new logo that reminds me of Canada - and beer.
Well Dressed Sister - "Nice masculine colors. Not so much for the ladies."
Buffalo Sabers - I really like this old school look. Buffalo has lucked out with this third jersey and the new Bills logo. Well Dressed Sister - "The logo is fantastic. The horizontal lines aren't exactly slimming."
Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh Penguins Well Dressed Sister - "Those are far more feminine colors. Might not work so well for the men at the game. Penguins are cute though."
Well Dressed Sports Guy - Funny you should mention that, Sis. Elizabeth Banks has a scene in Zack and Miri Make a Porno where she is wearing this sweater as a night shirt. It is pretty friggin hot in case you were wondering.
Well Dressed Sister - "Whatever."
Boston Bruins - I'm not a huge fan of the Bruins regular jerseys, so I like the third jersey. That said, they are a bit too reminiscent of a bumble bee for my taste.
Well Dressed Sister - "I second that opinion. The bee that is. These jerseys must make the entire team look like a swarm of angry bees. Which I suppose isn't necessarily a bad thing."
Thanks, Sis! I'll let you know next time I need a third opinion.
Well Dressed Sister: "No problem. Just to warn you I have stronger opinions about baseball uniforms."
