Ottawa Senators jerseys
An Ottawa Senators-centric blog called The 6th Sens picked up on a story tonight I’m sure a lot of Icethetics readers will be interested in. It has to do with the question of whether the club is contemplating a new third jersey for the near future.
The Ottawa Senators introduced their infamous Ottawa Senators jerseys just last season, marketing themselves as “Back in Black,” but recent renovations at ScotiaBank Place have us wondering whether that particular sweater is long for this world.
It’s a concept that has been floating around the web ever since the Senators introduced the new “O” logo in 2007 — maybe even before that.
I think at one point there was even a petition on behalf of Senators fans to get the team to adopt this Ottawa Senators jerseys. Could their wish be coming true?
In an interview with SensTV’s Gord Wilson, COO Cyril Leeder talked about a new addition to the arena called The O Store — he said it’s a nod to the old days when the Sens wore that big O on their chest.
But it’s not so much what he said in the video as it was the artist renderings that were shown. They depicted this very Ottawa Senators jerseys design on the shelves of the new store.As you can see, not only is that exact jersey on the self, but also the vintage “barber-pole” style similar to one of the classic sweaters the Canadiens wore last season. Here’s another shot.
It makes you wonder whether this was some secret plan all along. But that’s for conspiracy theorists. For the rest of us, it’s a nod toward a very exciting possibility that Ottawa might at last have one of the best jerseys in the NHL — not long after unleashing one of the worst on us.
