More about Sens’ new jersey(s)

NEW ALTERNATE JERSEY Earlier I said the Thrashers may have the ugliest third jersey in the NHL. Forgot about the Senators.

Luckily, Reebok says that in 2011 the Sens will debut a brand new alternate sweater. And it can only be an improvement on what they’ve been wearing since 2008 (right) — which is all over the map.

So what will this new third jersey look like? We’ve been speculating for quite a while here on Icethetics. It started with aretro-styled concept designed by a fan that appeared in official team materials.

Then just last weekend, Ottawa’s farm team in Binghamton wore the same barber-pole throwbacks that the original Senators sported in 1930s.

Either of those is more likely than the Sens looking back into their own short uniform history. Among Canadians, retro is in.

Prior to the Reebok era, the team’s last attempt at a third was what you see Mike Fisher wearing (left). It’s probably their best alternate sweater design, and my overall favorite Senators jersey.

Their first third jersey, a red one, eventually became their standard dark sweater, from 1999 until 2007. But since their current home uniform is red, black is most likely for the new uni.

This leaves me convinced that Jacob Barrette’s concept is probably on the right track. The O logo has been the club’s secondary mark since 2007 and it pays tribute to the original Senators franchise. And as I said, in Canada, retro is in.

Still, while this may be what a lot us want to see, there’s no telling what Ottawa will do. No one expected the SENS jersey or its odd design, but it happened.

I guess we can just hope they’ve learned from their mistakes and we’ll see something great in 2011. They have a checkered history, but at least it’s not all bad.

- the one created by the fan is not bad, beats the “SENS” jersey.
