Retro...like it's 1861!

The NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets team will unveil their new "third jersey" later today (November 26, 2010) during their game against the Detroit Red Wings

Here is what they look like:



The overall look of the jersey gives off a retro vibe.  The inspiration for the colours and logo along with the team's name (Blue Jackets) is the geographical area's association with the U.S. Civil War back in the 1860's.

The initials of the team's founder, John H. McConnell are sewn into the back neck collar.  These initials will only be found on this season's jersey to commemorate the team's 10th season in the NHL.

The 10th anniversery of the Blue Jackets team is also saluted on the jersey inside the collar, where the team's slogan "We Fight...We March!" along with 10 stars is found sewn in

Do you have any thoughts on this jersey?  There will be a number of other third or commemorative jerseys also being released by NHL teams this season.  What do you think of this trend?  Let us know!
