Last years Campbell Bowl Champions eliminated the jade from their colour scheme, and went mostly black, with purple and silver stripes. If the jerseys of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings, and the OHL’s Oshawa Generals had a child somehow, they would look like the new alternate jerseys of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. These jerseys were unveiled on Columbus Day, how clever! The jersey is blue, with black sleeves, and stars running down the side. The main crest is a star with the Ohio state banner wrapped around it in the shape of a ‘C’, while the shoulder logo is an oval with a union cap in it. The jersey features two completely new logos, the main crest and one of the shoulder logos. Jody Shelley, Columbus AlternateĪrguably the nicest of the alternate jerseys to come out in a long time, the Columbus Blue Jackets joined their expansion cousins with this pretty little number. The logo is the Wild primary logo in a circle. The jerseys are red with large green stripes on the sleeves, and a crest made of old-fashioned material. The Minnesota Wild introduced their alternate jerseys last week, top-secret style, they told noone what they looked like until the game started. Well the Zamboni’s off the ice, so let’s get back to business here.
#Nhl 2003 patch Patch
The Edmonton Oilers are celebrating their 25th season in the NHL with a patch on their jerseys, the Minnesota Wild are proudly displaying the fact that they are the All-Star Game hosts with a patch on their home, and road jerseys, and the Ottawa Senators are paying tribute to former head coach Roger Neilson, who passed away last Spring after a long bout with cancer, with a colourful patch that would make Rog proud. This season the Panthers will be wearing navy blue jerseys at home (logo sans hockey stick), while their alternates are now red (logo avec hockey stick). The Florida Panthers made minor changes to their uniform set, by switching their road and alternate from last season. Time for an intermission from the major changes this season. Get it? it’s stars in the shape of their state symbol! Definately a creative idea, perhaps poorly executed, but definately creative. Definately going ahead in time, rather than back in time, the Stars are sporting black jerseys with green, and red trim with the constellation taurus as the logo. They say the reason alternate jerseys were introduced was so teams could get creative, and that’s exactly what Dallas did with their new alternate jerseys. The lettering and numbering is in the same style as the set last season, only in black. The jerseys are red with black trim and the familiar flaming-c on the front, this time in black. The black horse jerseys are once again alternate jerseys, while these snappy new duds are in as the new homes. No alternate is planned.Ī change everyone was looking forward to came with the removal of the black road jerseys Calgary had been sporting in the past few seasons. The primary is a coyote howling upwards, the alternate is a state of Aizona with the Arizona flag inside and ‘PHX’ underneath. The logos are also new, a brand new primary, and alternate logo.

The numbers are one-coloured, which is not seen too often these days. The home jerseys are brick from head to toe, the roads white with brick pants. The Coyotes went 180 from their previous design going to an extreme traditional look. Problem solved!Įvery year there seems to be one big change, and this year it’s the Phoenix Coyotes. Teams always wanted to wear the alts at home, so road teams would have to bring their homes, and roads with them on plane trips. After the increased security in airports, and the introduction of alternate jerseys (in which all but 1 are dark), this led the NHL to switch ’em up.

Fans wanted to see new colours every week (example, every Leafs game on HNiC was blue vs white). This was the way the league had played from 1953 – 1970, they changed due to colour television. Good question! The NHL has reversed the jerseys from now on, the dark jerseys are now the home jerseys, and vise- versa. Now, some of you may wondering, “What’s up with the home teams wearing the dark jerseys?”. To be completely honest, this preview is late because so many teams had yet to unveil their new alternate jerseys, so with all but one unveiled, let’s get this thing started. Yes, I’m fully aware that the 2003/04 NHL season is well underway, but here I am, three weeks late, to give you the uniform preview, review, or view of the upcoming, err….
