Players eating dinner together when they aren't even on the road?

What an innovation!

But what did they order for dessert Gene? One milkshake with two straws?

They shared a steak? Did Campbell cut it up into bite sized pieces for Holloway?

Because if you say it with a mouthful of seafood it sounds like you’re saying Rantanen?

That’s not subtle, the joke is non existent. Urine Oil Country is the only way it works… because urine literally is the entire joke.

Except for Staal, they're all numbers the player has worn in the NHL and Staal was just a reverse of his NYR and Detroit number because 18 was already taken by Hyman.

Middleton wore 67 when he broke into the league, but switched to 21 prior to last season. The Oilers didn't have a player wearing 21 last season, so I'm not sure why they would have done his jersey with 67 and not 21.

They were likely playing the odds that the player would want to keep the same number after the trade that he was wearing before (or reverse the digits in Staal's case).




The only explanation that makes any sense for why those jerseys exist is the Oilers were in the market for a d-man at the deadline and those players were the most-likely candidates (plus Kulak, who they actually acquired). They were on a short road trip at the trade deadline, so they probably had the equipment staff prepare road jerseys for each of the players just in case they were acquired and to save the equipment staff from the hassle of preparing the jersey while on the road. Funnily enough, Kulak was the player they acquired, and he didn't join the team until after that short trip was over anyway.

There is a logical reason for them to exist, what's crazy is the decision to sell them to the public 6 months later.

They could've just removed the namebars and sold 'em. It'd look odd granted, what with stitch marks, but no player would've been identified.

Most number swap stories usually have the Vet handing over a Rolex, or other coveted item.

This sounds more like Campbell summoned the kid to dinner, to let him know he was getting a new number.

Yeah, there's a lot of things they could have done. The one thing they shouldn't have done was sold them as is.

Hell, they wore those white jerseys in Penticton last weekend and had players wearing 61 and 81. They could have easily taken the name bars off and re-used them in Penticton.

It’s so that they get taken out for seafood towers when they inevitably get the number conflicts.

I went to comment on one of their official Youtube videos and a special warning prompt I have never seen on Yt ever came up to warn me to be respectful with comments. They are truly insecure top to bottom, it is something else.

I’ll try. They look exactly like the ones that I have seen thrown on the ice in the past.

I don't see anything different about these - is it the extra orange on the bottom of the arms?

To be fair, those are their best jersey and they never should have went away from them.

The orange jersey was disgusting and such a debacle. They rolled it out in the last year of RBK branded jersey. Then when Adidas came along, they changed the shade of orange and so you had two different oranges out in public. Then they realized the orange was ####ing disgusting, so they came up with the monochromatic disaster that they chose to wear in the playoffs.

Seems like someone in the org finally came to their senses about going back to the regular blue kit.

Plus, I heard the fabric has been updated to improve the aerodynamics of the jersey, allowing even cheap seat fans the ability to get their jersey onto the ice as well.
