With the introduction of the third jersey, teams were allowed to use a completely new style for their jersey ( and in some cases, corresponding alternate socks, helmets and other uniform elements ).
Every team in the league except the Detroit Red Wings and the New Jersey Devils have introduced a third jersey at one point since the program began.
However, Detroit used a " throwback " jersey for the 2009 Winter Classic ( which was used again against the Chicago Blackhawks on April 11, 2009 ) and New Jersey used " throwback " green and red jerseys against the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 17, 2010, including a replica helmet worn by goaltender Martin Brodeur that was made to look like the original helmet he wore in his first game with NJ back in 1992.
Montreal introduced several " throwbacks " in 2009 to celebrate their centennial season.
Following the NHL's lead, the NBA and NFL also use third jerseys.
The National Hockey League suspended the Third Jersey Program after the 2006 – 07 season because of logistics problems involving the new Rbk Edge style NHL jerseys, which were unveiled at the 2007 NHL All-Star Game.
An exception was made during the 2007 – 08 season for the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic, where the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres wore throwback uniforms for the game.
After the one-year absence, third jerseys returned to the league for 2008 – 09.
