I feel we put to much emphasis on the glory days of the eighties. This isn't the 80's! Our team might have striking resembalance to them but these kids need there own legacy their own path. Something new can give a team their own identity. I hope the new 3rd is something new and exciting it would be good for the TEAM to step out of the shadows of the past and SAY this is a new era and we are the NEW oilers.

You do know that everything about the jersey was putting emphasis on the glory days of the eighties right? 5 rivets on the cog was 5 stanley cups, and 10 teeth were 10 captains. Of course this was immediately out of date, just another reason why this jersey was the worst decision of all time.
