The Hurricanes were one of the few clubs that had yet to produce an alternate jersey in their existence prior to 2008. The idea was set in motion and what came out of it was this. To say it's uninspired is an understatement. The team basically transplanted black into the same design used for their home and away jerseys but switched out the logo. The only differences are the red colored numbers and the extensive use of grey (which is featured sparsely on the other ones). Anyone who knows about hurricanes or lives in an area where hurricanes roll through on a regular basis will understand the new logo of the hurricane warning flags. But to anyone else, they will think it's dumb to have a giant flag on the front of the jersey. The shoulder patch has the 'Canes normal logo but in negative color which is one of the only good features here. The white border around the numbers is a nice touch too.
My final thoughts: The Hurricanes waited over ten years to come out with a 3rd jersey and settle on this? I don't get it, and neither do most fans.
