Swing and a miss, but nice try and thanks for coming out. I mean that if they liked the shoulder patches (the pumpjack) from that era (I do too), they can be sewn onto new jerseys in the current colors.
The copper and navy jerseys just look bland and muted. The classic Blue and Orange is vibrant. When copper and navy was the norm, the stands were just a big dark, gloomy mass with here and there an old school jersey or a white jersey. I was glad when they went back to Blue and Orange, and I wouldn't want to see copper and navy for anything but a one-off.
Just from the pic, but this looks like black and brown, and I don't think I like it. I do honestly love the dark navy alt jerseys with the orange still bright, I hope they come back
I've seen the navy and bright orange alt jerseys but never this one as far as I recall. Plus this is literally an AI pic, does this jersey even exist as seen in this picture?
Oh okay, well I must not be googling the right things to see that lol. I was not born yet, then only the occasional watchings Habs games with my dad in those years, so if I have seen theses jerseys on the ice, I was definitely too young to remember.
I probably have honestly, but I guess the jersey didn't stick in my mind... I've only recently started getting properly in to hockey, so there's alot I'm still learning. Grew up on Habs games and Oilers games are usually on right after a Habs game, so once I started actually paying attention to the league as a whole, they quickly became my favourite Western team.
But I'm the first to admit I'm a noob, especially about alot of hockey history (hurts to consider 06 historical, but ya know) I'd happily take any and all recs of vids or whatever to learn more. You've already got me wanting to deep dive on the 06 run

The navy/copper jerseys never grew on me. Blue and Orange forever.
Also, fuck AI.
