No more third jerseys; Best & worst third jerseys ever? Mon's Buzzcast

Been working the phones looking for rumors, but I wanted to take a second and discuss this:

According to the Minnesota Star Tribune there will be no third jerseys next year in the NHL as Adidas takes over from Reebok as the supplier. This is supposedly happening so Adidas can establish solid home and away versions of the NHL jerseys....which makes me wonder a few buzz worthy questions:

#1. What is Adidas doing to the current jerseys that makes them think they can sell only two jerseys?

Ok, I for one don't believe suppliers should be changing iconic designs. If the Red Wings, Bruins, Rangers or God forbid the Canadiens jerseys are changed by Adidas there will be hell to pay.

#2. Would life be better without third jerseys anyway?

I believe that two jerseys are enough and haven't found too many third jerseys that interested me as it is. Too many are just black and look "cool enough" hanging on a rack but look terrible when seen in a game live or on TV. The Bruins and Penguins are allowed to be black. Everyone else, find an actual color. (LA Kings, you had purple. It was awesome.)

#3 What is the best third jersey of all time?

For me, this one is simple. The Nashville Predators Paul Kariya Era Mustard Jerseys. Amazing,

#4. What is the worst third jersey of all time?

This one is much more difficult, but I will go with two...
first off "The Flyers 3D" and the Senators "Barber Poll" (can someone find and post photos of these?)

#5. Oh, and another thing...

NEVER shall an NHL team be allowed to put a nickname on their third jersey. No "Bolts" or "Sens." Can you imagine a jersey with "Habs" or "Avs" on it?

We will be discussing this and more along with Patrik Laine today on the Buzzcast at 1pm.
