IceCaps Tease New Third Jersey

AHL club has been sharing sneak peeks on Instagram
The AHL's St. John's IceCaps will officially unveil their new third jersey tomorrow. But for the last week and a half they've been teasing us with photos on Instagram.
On Oct. 28, the IceCaps started sharing one photo a day of the new sweater via social media. I haven't been keeping up with tweeting them all — primarily since they didn't make it seem like this third will be that much different from their primary jerseys — but I have collected them all here for those interested.

Perhaps most interesting is the use of the Newfoundland and Labrador flag, which appears to be a shoulder patch — following a trend started by the Calgary Flames, then picked up by the AHL's Abbotsford Heat.
Also, I'm curious about the colors. It feels like a cream/vintage white type of color, but I can't tell if that's just the Instagram filters doing that. I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow when it's officially unveiled.
UPDATE 7:06 PM: The last teaser came this morning and looks like a new crest for the front of the jersey.

It looks to be silver / grey to me, I am excited to see it, it looks like it is going to be very classic.
Wow, a Mary Brown's logo. I didn't realize that North American Pro Hockey had advertising on their jersey's.
Very much doubt it is vintage white. Pretty obvious the collar and striping is regular white. Doubt they would do otherwise with numbering / lettering.
Looks more like a silver instead of a cream/vintage.
I like silver in their current jerseys (like the jets) because it's only used as an accent. I'm already not liking how this looks because there is so much silver... Looks tacky IMO.
They already missed the mark with this. If they wanted to sell jerseys, they would have been smart to do a throwback jersey to the St. John's Caps - a popular senior team that played in St. John's in the 1980s.

@Bill Robinson: I think every AHL team has an advertising logo on their jerseys. The Providence Bruins have Dunkin Donuts, the Hershey Bears have IBX, the Adirondack Phantoms have Glen Falls Hospital, and so on.
It kinda looks like they ripped off of the Whalers' old home jersey.
Anybody else tired of jersey teasing? I certainly am. Just release the jersey and be done with it.
Hey Chris, I'm sure you already know this but just in case you don't, the IceCaps unveiled their new alternate jersey.
