Sens Officially Unveil Heritage Jersey

After months of speculation the Ottawa Senators have finally unveiled their much talked about Heritage jersey.

If the early returns are any indication, Sens fans absolutely love this jersey.  The new uniform was officially unveiled at Puck Drop, an event held by the organization as part of the launch for the 20th Anniversary season.

A little more info from the news release.

Design elements

The O logo on the front of the jersey and on the uniform pants pays homage to the O that was often emblazoned on the uniforms worn by the early Senators teams prior to leaving Ottawa in 1934.

Following championship seasons during the early days of the NHL, clubs would often adorn its sweater with a special crest to commemorate the achievement. The Senators' shoulder patch is designed with inspiration from the "World Champs 1926-1927" crest that was worn following the Senators' Stanley Cup win in 1927. The patches appear on both shoulders but the original 1927 text has been replaced with Ottawa Senators Senateurs d'Ottawa to acknowledge the team's bilingual fan base in the region.

The uniform features the club's official colours of black red and white, with the heritage jersey using an antique white that reflects uniforms of the past.

Fan involvement in design of the uniform concept

Prior to the 2007-08 season, the Senators unveiled home and road jerseys with a shoulder patch that featured the distinctive O logo used by the early Ottawa teams. Inspired by this history, Jacob Barrette, a Gatineau-based graphic designer and Sens fan, designed a jersey rooted in Senators history. Barrette posted this image of the jersey online to solicit feedback from fellow fans, with the results being overwhelmingly positive.

In 2009, Senators vice-president of marketing Jeff Kyle, aware of the fan reaction to Barrette's design, commissioned Barrette to help create the concept for the uniform. Barrette, along with the Senators and local hockey historian Paul Kitchen, conducted extensive research at Library and Archives Canada and the City of Ottawa to ensure the historical accuracy of the uniform's heritage elements. Barrette then presented design concepts to the Senators and Kitchen. After a number of revisions, they worked with Reebok to adapt the design to fit the Edge jersey, resulting in the uniform that was unveiled earlier today.

Exclusive period for purchase

The heritage jersey is on sale now and will be available exclusively at all three Sens Store locations (Carlingwood Mall, Place d'Orleans and Scotiabank Place) until Oct. 11. At $149.99, fans can purchase the Heritage Hockey Pack, which includes a premier adult heritage jersey, a vintage scarf and toque, and a voucher for a pair of 300-level tickets to the Oct. 13 game at Scotiabank Place, when the heritage jersey will be worn by the Senators for the first time.

I really don't understand why the situation here in Ottawa is the exact opposite of the situation in Winnipeg. I believe you can only buy Jets authentic game jerseys until mid November when the replicas are ready to be shipped out. Where as in Ottawa you can only buy the replicas and you have to wait until late October/early November before you'll have access to the authentic ones. They have to have already made the authentic ones for the players anyways, so I don't get why they aren't ready.

Love the new jersey though and I'll be picking one up as soon as they are available in the authentic format(I just like the weight/warmth better). Congratz to Jerkstore for all his hard work!

I was at the unveiling. Really like the new jerseys.

Noticed -- no Spezza either. Also.. he has been given an "A" this year.. don't know if that was ever mentioned anywhere.

They did a lot of skating in practice.. much more than in the past. Worked on PP & PK a lot... and we all agree they can surely use it.

Well I called the main store in the SBP and one would assume they would have the best selection. I'll try Carlingwood though, thanks.*Edit and the Carlingwood store does have them, so my complaining gained me that knowledge thank you sir.

this is a very well designed arena. there really isnt a bad place to watch the game from...

the best part about the 300's is you can see the play's develop and the crowd is usually a bit more rambunctious

you'll havr a good time regardless of where you sit

With the way Shanny is handling things so far, we may not have to make any more cuts!.

Seems like every team is getting hit with some sort of suspension.. which leaves open some room for some spare bodies! Don't be surprised to see either Z.Smith or C.Neil get tagged a couple times this season. Love those two, but sometimes their reckless play needs a wake up call lol.

My thoughts exactly. Why would be bring the disaster that is Avery into the Sens dressing room... even if it meant getting rid of Kuba. If Avery does not make the Rangers.. they will have no problem with putting him on waivers and sending him to the AHL.

Jason Spezza has had the "A" since the end of last year. I think he got it as soon as Fisher/Kelly were gone.

They screwed up the bottom of the jersey. If it wasn't for that, I'd have picked one up for sure. Now I don't know if I'd even buy a Chinese knockoff. Such a shame. Could have had one of the best in the league but the bottom make them look like they're wearing briefs.

Next time the Sens should hire a professional to do the job.

@Rundbladsson

Not on crack my idea was to get rid of Kuba and his salary Avery doesnt even have to play a game for us but he will have more value at the deadline then Kuba and if decide to waive Avery with his salary it would be peanuts too get rid of him .... Its a gamble but Kuba is waste of space on are d line and the Rangers are looking ...

It's a nice jersey., but why would you headline talk about a heritage jersey on the day the solidify their roster? A couple of other Sens sites did the same thing.

I figure I must be missing something. The roster seems more important than the jersey to me by a longshot.

I am sure the sens asked the sites to promote the jersey.

We can only carry 23 players so something has to give for Zibby Da Costa Rundblad to all stay.
