Third Jerseys

Every team in the league has a home jersey and a road jersey. In the NHL the home jersey is colorful, often dark and the road is white. This is part of the rule to avoid the away team and home team wearing clashing colors that confuse the crowd.

Another option for the home team however is the third jersey. These are special uniforms that they can wear on occasion to change it up. Sometimes they work out great, other times....we can't wait for the team to retire them permanently.





Here's an example of a pretty nice one, the NY Rangers third jersey that included lady liberty above the team's initials a great symbol of the city that they play in.





and here on the flip side is the Buffalo Sabres...not so great look





The yellow on the front is offensive enough, too bright. But instead of leaving it at that the uniform decided to also transition to blue on the back of the sweaters. Fans were vocal about not liking this specific jersey and it didn't see much action after the 2014-2015 season.
