The Edmonton Oilers will likely unveil a new alternate jersey in the coming weeks, and it will debut midway through the upcoming season.
Reports of a
new third jersey surfaced months ago when insider Tom Gazzola got a peek of the new sweaters. Now just a few weeks away from the start of training camp and the regular season, the jerseys should be released relatively soon.
Oilers insider hints at debut date for Edmonton's new alternate jerseys
Brenden Escott of CHED880 additionally confirmed the release of a New Jersey this season. It will be Edmonton's first alternate since their popular dark navy blue jerseys.
Oilers fans won't have to wait too long to see the jersey for the first time. Today, Gazzola strongly implied that the new alternate jerseys will be revealed on September 20th.
In a previous discussion about the jersey, Gazzola claimed that it will feature a completely new logo and will use white as the base colour.
It's very different.
Does the middle logo - is it the Oilers' logo? The main logo? It's not?
No.
That's all we need to know. White jersey, some other from of logo in the middle.
It's a bit unfortunate if fans have to wait until mid-season to see the new gear in action, but overall it's still a positive to see the team add a new alternate back into rotation.
Hopefully the jersey is just as popular as their last alternate, and the Oilers make some great new memories in them.
