Sorry, that reference is Dennis Milleresque in its obscurity. Let’s talk about third jerseys for a minute. It seems to me that, taking a cue from the English Premiership league, NHL teams are changing their jerseys and adding third jerseys or logos on a yearly basis. I know it’s a nifty revenue stream, but it’s getting so I can’t tell who’s playing who in the sports highlights.
This is all just a pretense for running this image, which illustrates the hidden yonic imagery of the Dallas Stars’ new third jersey:

Incidentally, does anybody know who’s wearing that jersey? I don’t recognize him. He looks kind of like Ed Belfour, but he plays for the Leaves (yes, I know it’s Leafs, but that’s a popular Leaf-hater spelling) now.
And, on the subject of third jerseys, let us not forget the ugliest third jersey in the history of ice hockey.
That’s Marty Turco, Ed Belfour’s one-time apprentice.
most teams in the footy change their home jersey every 2 seasons, and change their away jersey every season. The third jersey (or kit, if you include shorts and socks of course) is the previous year’s away kit. I like it for the variety/collectible factor, and if you’re more of a casual fan you can get a different jersey (collar/no collar, certain colours are available, etc), or wait two years and hope for a good jersey.
The thing I hate is the sponsor names on the chest at times. Poor Fulham were “Pizza Hut” last year, and Crystal Palace were “Virgin” for a while. Due to my Liverpool support (and about 25 jerseys or so), I’m known by some as “the Carlsberg guy” around town, or occasionally people will say “hey dude, what’s with the beer shirt?” which pisses me off.
I beg to differ – this is the ugliest third jersey in the history of ice hockey:

Harp: Indeed, I’m a casual Liverpool man myself, and though I’ve only got one jersey, people often comment on the beer connection.
Ash: I don’t know…I think the Bruin’s logo is worse, and though the Predators’ tope is unappealling, the Bruins’ yellow-orange is truly heinous.
