The first full photo of the Ottawa Senators heritage jersey. Apparently, someone at the Buffalo Sabres team store put it on the shelf a little early. (H/T to Icethetics for the scoop)

They kinda look like the Hawks winter classic jerseys. Still, they’re pretty solid.

That's it. I'm sending you to El Paso to live with your real parents.

Ha, just one more reason to hate the Sabres

Anyone told our marketing department yet?
I can just imagine the flailing going on, because this was supposed to be kept until Oct. 1st
A Goal Horn Haiku
Hoooonk hoooonk honk honk hooooonk
That's the sound the train horn makes
Suck it, Toronto
Do they even have any options?
The way I see it, they either release early or hope this doesn’t hit the MSM. I’m betting on the latter.

Maybe it's part of a cunning plan to boost lagging heritage jersey sales
I mean, who on earth other than your own team sells other team’s jerseys??

That better be a cheap replica because that looks awful. I don’t like how the jersey itself looks shiny.
Replica
Looks like the shoulder crests are a sort of plastic decal, rather than an embroidered patch—which is the same thing the current jerseys have on the replicas. The pro jerseys should, one would assume, have embroidered patches.

That’s my hope. That thing looks like those crappy jerseys you can buy at Canadian Tire.

My favourite jerseys are still the red and the black ones they wore from early last decade till 2007.
I know a lot of people have the sentiment that the 2D logo is the classic jersey, just that asymmetrical red and black jersey is what I would call the Sens defining jersey. It seemed to be the jersey they had most of their successes in, a Cup final appearance, Presidents Trophy, Conferences finals, making the playoffs every year they wore it. I’d be interested in seeing that design reinterpreted with the modern jersey design and logo.

It's still my favourite base for a jersey
But man, I still hate the logo.
I think they are gorgeous.
I myself will likely be hoping to get an Alfie one.
Not really big on vintage white, but that said...
ditto.
Space for rent.

The article mentions that the Sens had been working with a fan on this
I’m guessing Jacob Barrette’s SNES-reaction design paid off?
Space for rent.
Agreed.
That shoulder shield looks like crap. I also dislike the Senateurs d’Ottawa. Had is been just the centurion, I would have been down.
I still think I’mma buy a red Alfie one though.
Keep in mind it is a replica
It isn’t the actual hockey sweater. I think the actual sweater will look really good everything should be embroidered patches.
I don’t mind the shoulder patch. Especially because it pays tribute to the patch the Senators used to wear the year after they won the championship. Clearly it couldn’t say ‘world champions’. Though script instead of block lettering would have looked better.
It should say World Champions, we beat those mother fuckers from Dawson City like it ain’t no thang.

so... a poll...
G’day Gents and ladies,
Im buying one of these. For those of you that don’t know, if you pre order one, you also get a toque, scarf, and voucher for 2 tix to the oct 13th game vs Colorado. My question: whose name should be on it? Alfie is a no brained, but what of Spezza? Karlsson? Rundblad? Im taking votes.
PRAISE ALFIE!!!!

Names (in order of preference):
Alfie
Spezza
Karlsson
Rundblad/Cowen
Zibanejad
I’d go with Karlsson myself – assuming you don’t want Alfie.
Oh but I do want Alfie
Just seems kinda cliche, no?
PRAISE ALFIE!!!!

Okay...
So, my friends are telling me I should put my name on it. And no, I’m not lying, my last name is Toogood. Is it still cliche?
PRAISE ALFIE!!!!

If you are not a member of the Senators, you should not put your name on it
That’s how I feel. I’m against names in general.

I say you stick with Alfie
Given that it is a ‘Heritage Jersey’, in 5, 10, 20 or 50 years (assuming the moths don’t get it) whose name would you want on it.
As of now, Alfie is the most important Senator over the last 20 years. Seems appropriate to me, given what he’s meant to the club, to have his name on it.
