There were some doozies in the 1990s. At least no one has thought to resurrect the wearing of full pants or white skates. The USPS could've saved themselves a lot of money by getting the Caps to deliver mail on their days off back in those days. You really have to wonder what was going on in the minds of the people who designed some of these jerseys, and moreso what kind of focus groups (if any were used at all) thought these were good ideas. As for Kennedy, maybe the Sabres giving up on him at the age of 24 because they didn't think he was worth his salary award and being forced to take a paltry (in the world of pro sports) salary may be motivation for him to have a good year. But for around half a mil and the ability to send him to Hartford if need be it's a smart no-risk signing. Glad I could make you laugh! There were some doozies in the 1990s.

The LA "Burger" King jersey ... the Anaheim "drawn by a pre-schooler" jersey ... the Washington "Screaming Eagles" ... I must admit I liked the Rangers' 3rd. I thought the Statue of Liberty and the "NYR" on the shield was a nice design. There's a great site that you may know about: http://nhluniforms.com that basically covers everything about NHL uniform history. And Tim Kennedy ... solid low-risk, high-reward pick-up. I thought he would have looked good in a Penguins' blue jersey, but the Rangers may be the beneficiary! Cris: Ha ha, you’re killing me by evoking the hilarious 3rd jerseys from the 1990s!
