Ducks 3rd Jersey Schedule 2011-12

Just like last season, I'm hoping to compile third jersey schedules from around the NHL here on the blog. We've already taken care of the Sharks and have a partial schedule for the Senators. You can access them from the Quick Links box in the sidebar.

Today, we have a look at the sophomore season of the Anaheim Ducks' alternate uniform. The schedule comes to us by way of a reader named James who tells me he got it from his season ticket representative.

Jason BlakeThe Ducks' 2011-12 third jersey calendar includes 15 games, four of which take place away from the Honda Center this season. Take a look:

  • Sat., Oct. 8 – vs. New York Rangers (Stockholm)
  • Fri., Oct. 14 – vs. San Jose Sharks
  • Fri., Oct. 21 – vs. Dallas Stars
  • Fri., Nov. 11 – vs. Vancouver Canucks
  • Fri., Nov. 25 – vs. Chicago Blackhawks
  • Fri., Dec. 2 – vs. Philadelphia Flyers
  • Sat., Dec. 17 – at Winnipeg Jets
  • Fri., Jan. 6 – vs. New York Islanders
  • Fri., Feb. 3 – vs. Columbus Blue Jackets
  • Fri., Feb. 10 – at Detroit Red Wings
  • Tues., Feb. 14 – at Minnesota Wild
  • Sun., Feb. 26 – vs. Chicago Blackhawks
  • Fri., Mar. 2 – vs. Calgary Flames
  • Fri., Mar. 16 – vs. Los Angeles Kings
  • Sun., Apr. 1 – vs. Edmonton Oilers

For the game on Oct. 8 in Stockholm, the Ducks are noted as the "home" team, so technically the jersey will be worn for 12 home games. Ducks fans, it looks like your best bet to see the thirds in action will be pretty much any Friday night game at the Honda Center.

If you've seen a third jersey schedule posted on any team websites or can get the inside scoop from your ticket rep, feel free to share it with us.

Winnipeg Jets Uniforms Unveiled

Winnipeg Jets officially unveil uniforms / Jets

They're here. The Winnipeg Jets officially unveiled their uniforms today. I don't really have a lot to say on the matter at this point. Give me a day or two and I'll get back to you with my thoughts on it.

Back of new Jets jerseys / CBCThe unveiling ceremony was held this morning at 11 AM central at 17 Wing in Winnipeg and was well-attended by local media. You can read more details about the design in the club's official release.

A few pictures have started turning up on Twitter, so that's all I have to share at the moment. I'm sure it won't be long before we have something more official from the team.

Both jerseys feature a unique double-striping pattern on the sleeves that hasn't been seen before on Reebok Edge jerseys in the NHL. The number and letter styles are also new are very modern.

Like I said, I'll get into my analysis later in the week when I have a little more time to dedicate. For now, feel free to share your thoughts on the new jersey designs. I'm sure we're all curious to see how they're being received.
