Cornell 3rd Jerseys

[Tom Pasniewski 98]

If I'm not mistaken didn't the HumEc school design the women's jerseys in the not so distant past?  Or at least make some positive contribution?  I can't remember the details.

 Third jerseys can be cool, Wisconsin's and one of the Alaskian teams are really nice looking. (Pics would be helpful here, but I gave up searching)  The nice ones are usually the exception and not the rule, though.  I'd rather leave the third jersey alone than take the chance that it turns out like the Dallas Stars "Uterus" jersey   [/q]

well obviously ours would be cool.... :-D

hahaha Amen to that Pete. I never knew what mad cow disease looked like til I saw those.

How about a contest for 3rd jersey design. Something to do in the off season.
Here are my quick 5 minute examples of the letter type. If I get bored this week I'll try and make a real effort.

Speaking of black.  RIP has had a few "third" jerseys.  This year's were black (the theme was Black Friday) and were sold at silent auction during one of the games in December.  The jerseys look horrible but the money raised was amazing.  I think the highest shirt went for over $1000.  I was in shock at the bids.  

There were some parents bidding on their son's shirts and when you realize that many are getting over $100,000 in scholarship money the high bids aren't quite as bizarre.

It was a great way to raise money for their hockey program.

I think I'd puke if we ever took the ice in black jerseys.  Can't say I like any of your concepts but a) you said they were 5 minute examples and b) I've already expressed my opinion on alternate jerseys in general.

in all honesty, i wouldn't mind third jerseys, as long as they look okay and the sale proceeds somehow end up benefitting the hockey program.
of course, this is a lot of ifs.

on the other hand, the third jersey does not have to involve a new design. seeing the team putting on a retro jersey (say, from the glorious late 60s) would be kind of cool too...

If you remove the subtle serifs from the lettering on the current uniforms, add a bit of white lacing just below the front of the collar-line, and put a white stripe down the side of the pants (or are they shorts?) you'll have the uniform of the late 60s.  Don't recall the pants being torn, however. ;-)

I always called them pants ... but that's just me :-)


I like the idea of a vintage/throw back kit. If that were to ever come about I would really only like to see it used for our most storied rivals. I don't even think they should be auctioned off, just kept for special occasions (see Notre Dame's green bowl jerseys).

Unless they held an auction like someone reported RPI did I doubt third jerseys would specifically benefit the hockey program.  I assume sale proceeds would go to Athletics or the University in whatever fashion they normally do with the hockey program only getting its usual share.  I could be wrong though.

Depends what you consider "positive".  IIRC those jerseys were hideous.

RIP has announced it's second annual Black Friday wingding.  They will do the auction again.  I hope the black jerseys look a bit better than they did this year.

IIRC, this year's jerseys were black versions of the ones the 1985 National Championship team wore.  Ugly or not, that's probably pretty meaningful to fans.

 No offense, but... That would be HORRIBLE!  I really hate alternate jerseys and not just because I think most of them are incredibly ugly.  (Examples: Clarkson's mustard jersey or Michigan's Maize tournament jerseys).  Sorry I'm just a purist - stick with two.  Just MNSHO.[/q]

Agreed! The Michigan tournament jerseys look as if they were designed for a softball team sponsored by a Diner!
