The third jersey was first introduced in the NHL in 2005. This year a total of 19 teams are sporting brand new RBK Jerseys.
While some jerseys are pretty slick, others are just plain atrocious. Nonetheless, each team wears their third jersey for a limited amount of times at home and the NHL makes a bunch of cash selling them.
Starting with the Eastern Conference's Atlantic division, we take a look at some of the best and worst third jerseys. You be the judge:
Pittsburgh Penguins - You may recognize these from last year's winter classic. I wasn't crazy about the light blue on a team that was traditionally black but it's starting to grow on me.
Philadelphia Flyers - I thought I was mistaken but after checking the Flyers Web Site these are indeed their new third Jerseys. Not much of a change. I do like these better than the black jerseys though.

New York Islanders - Simple but very nice. Blue and orange always look good together and I like to knit string collar. If the Islanders are going to loose 90% of their games they might as well look stylish doing it.

That's it for the Atlantic divison. Sorry Rangers and Devils fans. Maybe your team will get some new threads next year. To buy new RBK third jerseys you can visit the NHL team sites or icejerseys.com. Part 2 coming soon.
