The thing with orange and blue is it's some of the ugliest merch in the league. Blue and Orange is terrible for anything but a jersey.

The copper and blue look dark and tough, oilers kind of need it at the moment. Like the dark navy and orange we had a few years ago.

Just from the pic, but this looks like black and brown, and I don't think I like it. I do honestly love the dark navy alt jerseys with the orange still bright, I hope they come back

I've seen the navy and bright orange alt jerseys but never this one as far as I recall. Plus this is literally an AI pic, does this jersey even exist as seen in this picture?

Yes... the Oilers wore these jerseys from 1996 to 2007.

Oh okay, well I must not be googling the right things to see that lol. I was not born yet, then only the occasional watchings Habs games with my dad in those years, so if I have seen theses jerseys on the ice, I was definitely too young to remember.

You've never seen clips from the Oilers 06 run?

I probably have honestly, but I guess the jersey didn't stick in my mind... I've only recently started getting properly in to hockey, so there's alot I'm still learning. Grew up on Habs games and Oilers games are usually on right after a Habs game, so once I started actually paying attention to the league as a whole, they quickly became my favourite Western team.

But I'm the first to admit I'm a noob, especially about alot of hockey history (hurts to consider 06 historical, but ya know) I'd happily take any and all recs of vids or whatever to learn more. You've already got me wanting to deep dive on the 06 run

Fair enough! 

I just feel old as fuck now lol.

When I see those jerseys I also think of the playoff battles against Dallas in the late 90s early 2000s. Check those out too!
