Hockey jersey colors?

It's really just a big merchandising ploy. It's just like football. The more jerseys they design and produce - the more they can sell. Personally I am a Rangers fan and have one of the old Blues with the "R" on the front and an early replica of the original jerseys. I don't like the Lady Liberty thing that they've been using and wish they would go back. Unfortunately, that's not how to generate revenue from product sales.

That isn't necessarly true, the Sabres third jersey's, i.e. the vintage jersey sell great when they are available. I think you will start to see a lot of third jersey's that are throwbacks in 2008 when the third jersey returns.

Back on topic, I miss the white at home as well. Since I have only been alive since the whites were home the last few years really play with my mind. I can't get used to darks at home.

Now that a discussion has begun . . .
I own:
-Atlanta Flames 1972 "media" jersey (recieved by my father in 1972 when he designed their logo when the team was founded), number 5, signed by Curt Bennett (when he was the assistant coach of Atlanta Knights). Red jersey, in father's hands for the forseeable future.
-Atlanta Knights replica, black
-Atlanta Thrashers white
-Atlanta Thrashers red/navy

On order (on shipping)
-Atlanta Flames (modern replica, now one I will WEAR!!!) in Red.

I actually like the dark ones generally, but some of the whites look better on some team designs.

In the case of Buffalo, there is a HUGE fan push for the "old" logo, but I think they should so a "modernized" version instead. Imaging the crossed sabers alternate of a couple years ago, with a similar style bison at the top.
The design is aimed at coordinating with Reebox's new jersey design. It was SUPPOSED to be introduced simultaniously, BUT the jersey got a unanimous thumbes down by the team owners. However, I will be surprised if the teams and fans do not like anything that is too far of a departure from the "traditional" ones. I like the look of the old one. Also, note how many of the newer intoduced ones (like Atlanta's own "blueland" home jerseys), have TIE necks-the VERY old style.
