Third jerseys for Kings, Lightning, Maple Leafs leaked online
In what appears to be an unintentional rollout of the highly-anticipated threads, a trio of third jerseys have made their way onto the international version of the NHL’s official online store.
The alternate sweaters for the Los Angeles Kings, Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs were revealed Tuesday, and they’re … pretty … meh.
The Kings’ tarp is a slightly-altered version of the team’s 50th anniversary jersey, which the team wore 16 times during the 2016-17 campaign.
The Maple Leafs will rock a very similar version of the 1919-1927 Toronto St. Pats threads that they sported for their March 18th contest against the Chicago Blackhawks last season, but it is unclear whether this will be a full-blown third jersey or will just be worn for a couple of games.
Tampa’s is, well, pretty bland, with the jersey featuring no striping at all and a straight, all-black look with a gradient pattern into dark grey on the sleeves. It looks like a $250 pyjama shirt and I kind of respect it.
