I imagine they will as they're treating it more like a straight forward 3rd jersey, I'm hoping when I make it out to the Rock for a preseason game they'll have some in the store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad to see the road teams coming in their dark colors, I always preferred wearing white at home. Exactly. I felt the same about the red/greens - didn't really want them, at least not on any real regular basis. A few times a year last year was fine. This year with the white/green it's only 4 times like you mentioned, so I'm still fine with that. I noticed the Devils website also mentions it as a "Heritage" jersey and not specifically a third jersey or alternate of some kind, so I'm still hoping that this is just some time of one-off special promotion thing, rather than a more permanent insertion into the rotation and lineup of our jerseys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Just what I was hoping for, couldn't be happier...sure, the Adidas cut is a little weird, but that's a small quibble. Awesome third, will definitely be scouring Meigray for GWs once they become available... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna buy an authentic. A REAL authentic, not that fake made in Indonesia garbage they call authentic. I want what the fvcking players wear on the ice, and there’s no excuse to not sell them when fans like me are screaming TAKE MY MONEY!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly your best will be to snag a game-issued (made for a player but not worn on the ice...think scratched or injured player) and then re-name it to whomever you want. The current authentics are authentics in name only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not spending $600 on a game issue size 465 XXXL. Edited August 21, 2018 by MadDog2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't spend $500 on a jersey, then strip it, and then another $85 to re-do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they would have to do is produce a few extra on each run for each team and they can sell it to the fringe that wants the MiC on-ice versions and would pay plenty for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its just not enough people who want them. I find it hard to believe, but they must know SOMETHING about it. I mean if they made blanks available at full retail price, how many would they sell? I'd have been good for a home and road. My home being taken care of, I would be in for a road and 3rd.

bobilly45 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Glad they didnt go to a black Jersey and kept it classic. I know I'm on record here as saying idc about the currentJersey, and I still feel that way, but maybe a few seasons down the road they will add the bottom stripes back in as it does complete the Jersey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, makes far too much sense. There's enough of a niche group that would be willing to spend for a real-deal authentic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be a refresh within 5-7 years. The days of this franchise having the same design for 25 years are over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually OK with more frequent refreshes (mostly because I think they're pretty much a certainty at this point...I can't see the current design lasting another 25 years), but I'm with you, leave the logo alone and I can probably live (or learn to live) with a lot of layout changes over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Interesting... https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2018/08/21/devils-go-heritage-route-with-2018-19-third-jersey/ They’re going old school and bringing back the white, red and green uniforms that they wore for a 10-year period between 1982 and 1992. The team is calling it a “heritage” jersey and SportsLogos.net pointed out why: A “heritage uniform” can only be worn a maximum of six times per season and can be scrapped after one year while a third or “alternate” uniform must be worn a dozen times and for at least three seasons. At least that’s what I’ve been told. Edited August 21, 2018 by LittleBallofHate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 It’s stupid that there are any such rules. Why does the league give a sh!t if they wear it 6 or 12 times, or if they keep a 3rd for less than 3 years. What possible difference does it make?

At least that’s what I’ve been told. I was wondering if this was considered a true third or just a special, limited use jersey. So this isn't quite "bringing back" this uniform, it's really just a handful of retro nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I like those much better than the current Adidas. Been wanting a Nico so this might be a way to get one in a jersey I actually like. Wonder if the GI’s of these will be more expensive because of how infrequently they’ll be wearing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
