I wanted to give the jersey a rustic, vintage feel and the old school striping successfully does this I think. You may also notice that I have used something very similar to their current 3rd jersey logo, but the focal point of this logo is not a cannon. Instead I've used the civil war cap in the middle of the 3rd logo crest and changed the colour scheme of that crest to eliminated the powder blue from the mix.
Although it's red I think this look works really well for the Blue Jackets:
