It's not only Edmonton's brides who are taking advantage of the well-known saying of 'something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.'
The Edmonton Oilers drew upon the old adage when designing their new third jersey for their 30th anniversary season.
The team unveiled the new jersey Tuesday, opting to use parts of the old Oilers' uniform from when they first entered the NHL in 1979.
That was the year when Kevin Lowe, current president of hockey operations, scored the first NHL Edmonton Oilers goal in Chicago.
Defenceman Jason Strudwick said he remembers wearing the colours as a young fan
"The third jersey, I'm really excited about it," he said. "I watched growing up guys wearing it."

SWIVEL HIPS SAYS:
I certainly like the “new” vintage third jersey much better than I like the crappy looking jerseys the NHL teams wear now. And, better yet, they bring back many memories of the glory days.
