Back In Black

As mentioned yesterday, Greg Jamison hinted at the return of a 3rd jersey for next season. For whatever reason, I love discussing the aesthetics of athletics. I blew a gasket last offseason over the orange monstrosity the squad is currently wearing.

First of all, I was not a fan of the previous 3rd jersey:

The all-black look is just too boring, too uninspired. I actually believe in the proposed color-psychology link; black is intimidating, pink is pacifying, etc. Still, the black sweater never did it for me.

My other concern - all black with orange piping... sound familiar?

No thank you.

However, I'll take any chance to see less orange on our sweater. Bring on the black.
