The guy on the radio was Eagles marketing director Peter MacDonald. Good to hear Peter on the radio- while I'm not always (or even usually ) a fan of the Eagles organisation up top, I think he's done a pretty good job in his role. I know that since he's taken over there's been a lot of slow, subtle changes that have made the Eagles a lot more prominent in the community and have turned C200 into a true home for the Eagles. (In past years, it almost felt like they were just loaning the building from the Cape Breton Oilers!) Peter said the new 3rds would be grey (or at least have a lot of grey in them.) He also said that the pink jerseys, the battle of NS jerseys, and of course the PGL St. Patrick's Day jerseys would be returning this season.

All of those theme jerseys went over quite well last year - glad to hear they'll be returning! The Battle of NS thing should be much better this time now that the teams are a lot more even.

PEI's 3rd jersey was blue and had some red and white going around the bottom kinda like Rimouski's normal jersey. The front of the jersey it said PEI (not like the old one), and had the player number under PEI.
I'd imagine all third jerseys might be a little similar. If I'm right then this should give you a basic idea of what to expect

I've seen the 3rd jersey and it is AMAZING.
If you're interested in seeing it, here's a way you can:
Go into Rudderhams in Sydney River. Express interest in buying an Eagles jersey. Tell them you're not really into the current ones and you'll wait for the 3rd jersey. Ask if they have any in stock for you to see.
Thats how it worked for me, only I didn't ask, he just volunteered to show me.
So, the new jerseys look amazing. They're all dark(ish) grey with black on the shoulders with tiny Eagles logos (the ones that are currently on the front) and the front just says "CAPE BRETON" in sweet writing. Totally stoked on them.

Sort of, but, honestly, these are way sweeter. There are no numbers on the front (or at least there wasn't on this one, which was for sale at Rudderhams, so, who knows), no reebok symbol/league logo. Also, the side patches didn't square off (from what I can remember).

All official jerseys will have at least the reebok logo and the Q's logo.

Naw, it definitely was official. Rudderhams isn't allowed to sell otherwise. It probably did havee reebok and Q logo. As I said, I just didn't see it. Didn't really think I'd have to give a description of. Should have taken notes and/or a picture with my blackberry, I guess.

Should be noted that the front page of the Q site features Jan Piskacek and a couple of local ladies on "pink jersey night" last year in support of breast cancer.
Link says the Q will do it again this year, which I presume means all 18 teams will have a pink jersey night. Good stuff.

Also, the Eagles' pink jersey night for breast cancer will be Friday, Oct 29 - the first of back-to-back vs Gatineau.

The only difference is the small logos and about $200 in retail price as well as a tie-down of course.
