This would make a great alternate look. I realize the teams main jerseys are untouchable but that doesn't mean they can't try something different but tasteful with an alternate. Maybe just wear it 8 times a season instead of the standard 12.

I was always for a blue jersey, along the lines of the Spokane Chiefs' third jersey and this is exactly what I would like them to do....as a third jersey of course let's not go overboard with change haha!

I've wanted to do this concept for a while, and I really like this one. I just think the white on the arms should only be on the cuffs.

Not bad. Kinda reminds me how in 1996 the Blackhawks made a recolor of one of their two historic sweaters as a third, except with this one it's the colored one. In any case, it looks great; I wouldn't mind if for a few seasons they ran this as a third, or heck, maybe even wear these again.

It may be weird, but I love it. This should definitely be their third.

This is exactly what Montreal needs to do. Their jerseys may be historic and untouchable but this would be an amazing third while still keeping the history there.

As a Canadiens fan, I give it a pass. Obviously, there's no changing the home and roads, but I would be open to creativity for an alternate.

As a Habs fan i approve , looks good . I would rather them bring back the white blue and red jersey tho ,And i hope the caps get a blue jersey on another note.,

Before I saw it, my knee-jerk reaction was Rangers lookalike (original six: Montreal was red with trim, New York was blue with red trim)

But this impressed me. The white really keeps it clean. Might do the red chest stripe thicker and the white smaller - to get the number to stand out more (thicker number outline?).

I like the jersey, itself. My only concern would be what to do about the pants. If they use their current pants, it might be too much blue, but if they go with red shells, then it really would be too Rangers-esque.

You forgot to fill in the red in the four holes in the centre of the CH.
