The Montreal Canadiens have their fans in an uproar this morning, although you have to wonder if this may all be an elaborate prank on that very same fan base.
On Saturday morning, the Habs announced through their official social media accounts that they would be making a drastic change to their uniforms for the remainder of the 2022-23 National Hockey League regular season. In somewhat of a stange announcement the Canadiens announced that they will be switching to their powder blue “Reverse Retro” jerseys for the remainder of the season, citing the fact that they haven’t lost a game since February 11th while wearing those jerseys.
The reactions to the announcement have been mixed, with some fans expressing pure outrage while others being quick to wonder about the timing of this announcement. It is of course April 1st, otherwise known as April Fools, which could mean that this is just the Canadiens’ way of having a little fun with what is their passionate fan base.
Genuine announcement or elaborate charade? You decide and let us know in the comments below.
