Springfield, Mass. - The Springfield Falcons, AHL affiliate of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets, revealed their third jersey for the 2012-2013 season on Wednesday.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce the first third jersey in franchise history," Falcons President and General Manager Bruce Landon said. "It is exciting to be able to complement the start of a new and promising season with a fresh look."
