They've used this look a few times with wider stripes. The mostly black version they wore for a few years were probably the best unies they've ever had.

It's probably more of an "Ottawa" thing than a Sens or 67s thing, really. Just sayin' that the 67s made it their own in between Senators' franchises. It's a sharp look.

If they'd kept those sweaters and gone with the Heritage Classic version as the road ones, they'd easily be top five in the league:

Those along with their Heritage Classic jersey would be the perfect jerseys for them IMO

edit: missed Puppet's reply, he said the same and also included a pic, so I have removed my large photo

Those new sweaters are about as exciting as the city they call home.

Still, much better. The new black jerseys are going to be clean, too. They'll be unveiled Oct 6.

This alternate sens logo is IMHO much better, strange they haven't figured it out. Is it actually being used anywhere?

Every Sens fan I have ever known (and I know more than a few from my time in Ottawa) hates that logo. The Sens abandoned it basically right after they revealed it.

Meet the new logo, same as the old logo.

Human face logos are tough to pull off, hence why most teams avoid them. I prefer the Sens stripes with the O.

Jerseys look like they are in a Walmart, so that’s where they should stay. No matter if it’s a women’s cut or whatever, the design is the design. A glorified bland practice jersey template and a logo size that looks like an afterthought. The early years of the Sens has the white stripe in them which is so much better. Or how about a gold stripe in there?

Not everything retro is automatically better.

The location of the photo really makes me question the legitimacy of it being a leaked jersey. Looks more like one of those cheap licensed Canadian Tire Jerseys that aren't real jerseys.

The photo was taken at a Canadian Tire, but it appears to be the same style as the women's jerseys that Canadian Tire sells, like this: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/e...-1831741p.html

Other than having a slimmer cut through the body, they appear to have the same design as the regular team jerseys.

I do like that they're reviving the original logo.
I always liked the black one they had with the white striping. I'm surprised they're not going to that era instead. They wore those ones for a longer period, had more success in them and they looked better.
