Third Jerseys will RETURN for 2018-19 season

A year’s hiatus will probably do the program some good

The Jerseys are out. A good portion of them didn’t change, some did well, others did poorly. But they are out, and will be part of the 2017-18 season.

Interestingly, absolutely no team will be going into this next year with a third sweater, just like they did a decade ago.

Greg Wyshynski over at Yahoo however, found out that the program is not dead and buried, but more on a year-long hiatus.

Well that’s exciting!

There’s of course, no telling who the 24/26 teams actually are, but the Bruins tend to like having a matinee alternate, so there’s no reason to think they wouldn’t go for another one.

And in all honesty, with all the good ideas and sometimes better-than-the-homes kind of sweaters reebok would end up making for some teams, getting fans used to the new aesthetic status quo would do the league some good.

Until then, let’s reminsice about the third jerseys of days gone by...
