D'Arcy Murphy pointed out that the Oilers are one of the teams that isn't frequently featured here on the Concepts page. He surmised that designers are content with the team's look and see no reason to change it. But he did have an idea for a third jersey. I love that logo from the team's old alternate, but I'd prefer to see some alternate striping too.

If we can all agree that the Edmonton Oilers now have their ideal home and road sweaters, what's left is a good third. Mat Ware takes a stab at a couple of options here. Which do you prefer?

We're stretching this week's theme into another Classic Saturday thanks to Mat Ware. He's created Heritage Classic jerseys for all seven Canadian teams, but I thought I'd share three of them today. First is what we're likely to see Ottawa wear to this year's Heritage Classic in Vancouver — only without Daniel Alfredsson.
Here's an Oilers jersey I know a lot of people would like to see a couple of times a year. Did you know Edmonton actually wore orange for a couple of seasons during their WHA days? It makes for a nice looking sweater. And in an NHL will more than its share of gold jerseys, this is certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
This series wraps up with a Winnipeg Jets fauxback, not unlike what the Flyers wore for their last Winter Classic appearance. Mat gives them the vintage white treatment alongside their original WHA logo to give the NHL's newest team a feeling of history. Which of the three do you like best?
For whatever reason, the Edmonton Oilers seem to get left out of the concept conversation at lot. Could be the most folks think they're already as good as they can be. Or they're just not interested in making improvements. Here, Dave Arnold and Brendan Rockey have teamed up to create a pair of alternate uniform ideas. One orange, one blue. Are the Oilers on an inevitable crash course with an orange third jersey or what?

This Winter Classic Weekend brings us a look at a future Heritage Classic between the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers. Bryan Dyck has a great pair of jerseys here that aren't actually that unrealistic.
At present the Edmonton Oilers have a third jersey vacancy. I know a number of Edmontonians would like to see an orange sweater reminiscent of those WHA days. And while this isn't the first time we've seen such a concept on Icethetics, I think Justin Wiltron brings one that could really work just as is. I'd vote for it.

Our weekly Winter Classic series from the Waddell Brothers continues with their next two teams. As chosen by "Indo" last week, we have the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs. Chance and Jake have created retro-stryle jerseys for all 30 NHL teams. Their series picks up next Saturday.
