Some good news for the hockey eyes of the world: the Atlanta Thrashers have officially shelved their third jerseys. Though it was rumored to be on the chopping block a few months back, today is the day when those rumors are true. The news was first broken by
Blueland Blog, and has since been confirmed by
Birdwatchers Anonymous and Ice Ethics. Although I would have liked to have seen the Thrashers give their current home jerseys the Ol' Yeller treatment, I cannot say that it was the wrong decision to shelve the third jerseys. By itself, the jerseys weren't quite the eyesores that the home jerseys were, but the front of the jerseys hardly scream out "hockey team." When you're ripping off ideas from quite possibly the most boring jerseys in the league (Dallas Stars, I'm looking at you), then you have no hope of succeeding with that jersey. Throw in the socks, as modeled by Dustin Byfuglien in the picture above, and this was a trainwreck that mercifully, has been put to bed. The Thrashers will not go with a third jersey next season, so Thrashers fans will only have to deal with one eyesore instead of two.
