'Canes To Debut Third Against Wings
An email that went out to Carolina Hurricanes season ticket holders today confirms the team's new third jersey will make its game debut on October 13 against the Detroit Red Wings.
Monday, October 13 vs. Detroit - The 'Canes will take on the reigning Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings in the Wings first return to the RBC Center since January 2005. While it already promises to be a thrilling match-up, the 'Canes will also be debuting their new alternate/3rd jersey on the ice!
That's as far as the email goes. It doesn't describe what the jersey will look like or make mention of the fact that the team has already said the sweater will first be unveiled at Caniac Carnival on September 21.
Thanks to Scott for the tip.
By the way, I fixed an error in the sidebar regarding Carolina's third jersey. The consensus of the rumors we've been hearing is that the secondary logo with the storm flag will be on the front of the sweater — not the primary logo like I had up there. The only difference I'm anticipating is that the triangle behind the flag will be white instead of black.

"Wings first return to the RBC Center since January 2005."

Yeah I think they meant January 2006. That's embarrassing.
So they'll wear a retro Whalers jersey sometime soon right?
No. Hartford retains the right to all the whalers stuff- logos, name, brass bonanza- which I do wish the Canes would buy from them.
jeff, glad you noticed the sarcasm.
This is the internet- it's impossible to tell because:
a: this is text, which lacks vocal inflection,
b: It's not so outrageously stupid that you could not possibly be serious,
c: Many people would not know such a thing.
When being sarcastic on the web, a [/sarcasm] tag is useful...
duly noted.
