The Habs don't change their look much because it's iconic as it is.

Habs fan here, and I love both the reverse retros, even if a lot of people feel they're cursed. For the Expos version I would have LOVED if they'd made the whole thing powder blue with red and dark blue striping down the side seams/underarm area like the old Expos shirts. And then put Montreal across the front in old-time baseball script complete with an underline that looks like a baseball bat. It would have been bad-ass.

It may have been better with the authentic Expos striping, but it's still not bad.

That red jersey is just a iconic classic like the Yankees pinstripes. the funny part about the centennial release is that everyone was happy to see the old jerseys make a comeback until we saw them on TV. just atrocious, same goes for the expos throwback. for the bruins centennial, i'm hoping they will have a "legends practice" like montreal did in 09. i would really like to see that, having the former bruins take the ice : moog, orr, bourque, neely, chara, bergeron, savard.

@angushiltz4880 10 ай бұрын

The Bruins have 2 alumni teams I believe that practice and play charity games all over New England. I don't think Orr skates anymore but I know Bourque and Chara and others played charity games last year. And they also have a team that does charity games with lesser known alumni. I'm pretty sure they have some things planned for the Centennial.

@@angushiltz4880 alumni is something else. in 09, even Ken Dryden, Serge Savard and many old timers laces them up for a quick skate (Dryden even took some shots). just a quick skate is more than enough to create the magic

Hello from Montreal, thank you for what you do. Do have any original players jersey? Other than Carey’s? You talked about the Marons maybe they should create another 3rd jersey in that Color. I do like the reverse jerseys. Funny I’ve been a Habs fan since 1975 but I never owned a Canadians jersey, we never wore jerseys to the game and even playing in a beer league or even road hockey for that matter. This is something that started in European soccer to introduce new shirt designs to sell more, to make more money. You couldn’t buy a Lafleur, Robinson, Savard, Dryden or any other player from any team. If there was a jersey to find and have it would be a Steve Shutt 1976 jersey with the Olympic crest on it. Take care.

I have the current Fanatics Carey Price home sweater and a white CCM replica from 1988,which I both love. My very favorite Habs jersey is the red they wore into the 70s with the all-white collar,and the TV numbers inside the blue sleeve stripes. As for the Reverse Retro, I love the dark blue,and wouldn't mind seeing it as an alternate. The powder blue was poorly executed,imo. Expos jerseys had much more red in them,and the Habs RR only had red on the logo. I'd have had red trim instead of white on the blue stripes,and red trim on the numbers instead of blue. Instead,it just looked so nondescript and boring. At first, I wasn't crazy about the Winter Classic jersey,but I really appreciate it now,thanks to you,Shannon 👍. Go Habs Go! 🔴⚪🔵⚪🔴

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but why is there an H in the middle of the C? Why is there an A in the middle of only one of them?

@maxbourget2974 10 ай бұрын

It's from the team's official name "Club de Hockey Canadien" I think the C is supposed to stand for both club and hockey. As for the history of the A, early on the Canadiens were owned by the Club Athlétique Canadien (that's what CAC stands for on the barber pole jersey), but eventually the hockey club became a separate entity from the CAC and adopted the CH crest.

I didn't care for the light blue colour scheme. Being a fan as far back as the original 6, their team history melds well with 'if it isn't broken, don't fix it.' Perhaps as well as being an original 6 team, many related to the team name & logo as representing Canadians (Canadiens), at least I did.
