Article Archive #6 - Alternate Equipment

This post originally appeared on Hockey Jersey Concepts on February 12th, 2016.

Hello folks!  As you know we've had alternate jerseys in the NHL for a couple of decades now, but the Nashville Predators did something new this year by using a yellow alternate helmet.  That got me think about what other teams could use alternate equipment to add a bit more variety in their uniforms.  I think both the Hurricanes and Lightning could use existing equipment to create an alternate uniform set.


The Hurricanes could use their home jerseys and socks, with the black equipment from their third jersey to create an additional "look" for them.  I'd think it be interesting to see for a handful of games each year.


That idea would also work for the Lightning, blue jerseys and socks with the black gear from their third jersey.  It's a long season, why not switch it up once in a while?

A few other teams could copy Nashville by creating new alternate gear including...


- Maroon pants to go with the Coyotes white jersey (I wouldn't mind seeing that full time with their white jersey).
- A green helmet for Dallas.
- The Flyers rocking an orange bucket.
- Teal lids for the Sharks.

What do you think of these ideas?  Leave your opinions in the comments.
