you people are on crack. that new sweater is fucking gorgeous. total "original 6" kinda vibe. classiest look the team has had so far. and as logos go, a cannon is WAAAAY more bad-assed than initials, a star OR a frakking bumblebee!!! in fact, i'm considering getting up early and going to buy myself one tomorrow morning after watching them lose to my beloved 'wings in those tonight.

i've got the home & away from the inaugural "CBJ made outta stars & sticks" logo sweaters, and i've been craving a home one of the star style they've been playing in the last few years (i, too, am a fan of the redwhite&blue color scheme) . . . but i want one of those 3rd jerseys RIGHTFUCKINGNOW!!!

After seeing the game last night, I can actually say that I like the sweater now and I'll probably run out and drop a ridiculous amount of money on one. The dark colors made me think the antagonist team was coming to kick some ass. They just looked a lot more intimidating.

I also think these colors would work out well....dark red, dark blue and cream. It would give the red, white and blue more of a "classic" feel. Maybe they can use it for their 4th jersey. Thoughts?

The jerseys look much better when in action. The new mascot still needs to win me over. SO hoping Santa Parents are sending us tickets like they did last year because I was raised to love hockey above all other sports.

Yeah, me too. Looks better on the ice than on the screen.

Alternate NHL jerseys win style points - or numb senses
Friday, December 3, 2010
BY JEFFREY SHEBAN
The Columbus Dispatch

Stinger might object, but the new Columbus Blue Jackets third jersey -- featuring a Civil War-era cannon and no trace of the once-prominent bug mascot -- is drawing plenty of praise.

From the Dispatch...

Jackets scratch alternate jerseys
Reason unclear, but 0-4 record may be the cause

By Tom Reed

The Blue Jackets were scheduled to wear their new third jerseys last night, the ones that have netted them an 0-4 record. Cynics might suggest coach Scott Arniel had the club don its regular blue sweaters for superstitious reasons.

AND...

Boomer's days numbered

Late last month, the Blue Jackets unveiled a second mascot - Boomer, a cuddly cannon - to great laughter and embarrassment because of Boomer's unmistakably phallic shape.

Ostensibly, this isn't about the 2010-11 season, although Espen Knutsen is dropping the puck at tonight's game:

From the Dispatch...

A day for easing old hurts
Nearly nine years after 13-year-old Brittanie Cecil was hit by a puck and later died, her family and the ex-NHL player find some closure

By Mike Wagner

Yesterday, almost nine years after 13-year-old Brittanie Cecil died after being struck by a hockey puck, Naudascher finally met the man who had been carrying around his own anguish for the loss of her little girl.

So I guess Stan Lee helped create superhero mascots for all 30 NHL teams. This is ours:

For further reading here's a list of the Ten Most Insane NHL Characters. The Blue Jacket made the list at number 7.

And OF COURSE there's a comic book, in which Blue Jacket defends BMI from international thieves.

Is Columbus Playoff bound? They are currently 2 points away from a tie with 8th place. And 4 points away from a tie with 4th place? Matt Calvert is a soon to be super star for the jackets, and Jackets should trade Nikita Filatov and maybe a few others, for guys like Brad Richards of the Dallas Stars.

I was at last night's game (only the 3rd time I've been to a game), and it was definitely the best one I've been to. Unbelievably awesome scene when Calvert got the hat trick.
