A Look at the Rangers Rumored 3rd Jersey
March 24, 2010 | Posted by Rob Abruzzese 
Reebok is unveiling a new line of jersey’s for next season and the Rangers are among the teams getting a new alternative jersey. The company has not made it official, but rumors are swirling that the new jersey is going to look exactly like the current one except instead of “RANGERS” written across the front it will say “NEW YORK.”
Icethetics has the breakdown on the rest of the new jerseys so if you are intersted you should definitely check it out. Here’s what they had to say about the Rangers new duds:
I think it would disappoint a lot of Rangers fans and Icethetics readers. The Rangers arguably had the best third jersey of the ’90s with that Statue of Liberty logo emblazoned on the front.
Those navy blue sweaters were so popular that in 1998 the Rangers even added a white version for a short time. They were used up until 2007 when Reebok took over the league.
The Rangers previously wore a blue jersey with NEW YORK on the front from 1978 to 1987. The team’s home and road sweaters will not change next season.
I agree, I always liked the Rangers’ Liberty jerseys. I own a white one and wore it often as a practice jersey back in high school. If they are adding an alternate jersey, they should just bring those back. While teams are bringing back alternates, I’d like to see the Islanders bring back the Light House Guy jersey’s. Although I might be the only one who liked those.
Also, don’t forget to join us later as Eric plans on Live Blogging tonight’s game against the Islanders.

I love the white liberty jersey, but the ‘New York’ thing isn’t a terrible idea. It could be a lot worse (take a look at the Thrashers’ third jersey.

Oh, it could be much worse. Really I’m just disappointed in their lack of imagination.

I miss the Liberty jerseys, I think that New York one is ugly. Bring back the Liberty jerseys!!!

I like the New York jerseys, if you remember they also wore that design for opening night in 2001

That’s a good point, too.
If anything, it reaffirms that there’s only one TRUE New York team.

I love the Liberty jerseys, have one myself, would love to see those come back…they scream NY! But you want to see the Isles bring back the Gorton’s Fisherman?!? Aren’t they being laughed at enough already? Aah, wouldn’t hurt to laugh at them some more…

Are you guys kidding? Those liberty jersey’s had to be some of the ugliest in the league. The navy blue sucked.

Seriously, those Liberty jerseys were just awful…but that one is pretty terrible too. I’d like to see it the way it would actually look. That picture makes it look homemade, and not in a good way.
