I completely forgot they don't use the above stripping pattern anymore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's officially licensed NHL stuff (supposedly, the guy said he gave it a full look over) but I've never seen anything like it. I also don't know what to make of it. First time I've seen these, and for better or worse I think I know what retailer that is and I just cringed. I'd probably get one of these if not for the jersey striping. Inaccuracy aside it looks :censored:ing terrible on a t-shirt. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried having an open mind at first but even the applications that I initially thought were good (Avalanche for example) are beginning to stick out like a sore thumb. Agreed!! The collars that have contrast (Chicago, Dallas) look like toilet seats. The low or no-contrast versions (Detroit) look like t-shirts. A contrasting "pentagon" on the front (Rangers) is WAY too prominent, and any version with a lace looks like an afterthought. 9 hours ago, CreamSoda said: What is the over/under on new collars for these sweaters? I have it at 3 years. ...Hard to say...If these new sweaters sell, the collars will stick around.

JayMac Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Articles like this should be given a green light by Chris Creamer and the CCSLC, Paul Lukas, and Phil Hecken (and maybe orhers, too) before the masses can read it. There are no right or wrong opinions, but this one is damn close to wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an odd take, given that even with the ugly collar the Preds are one of the teams whose Adidas jersey is an actual improvement over that Reebok mess they've been wearing the past few seasons.

That's your take. The general consensus, especially among the Preds fanbase, is that the move was a downgrade. Yes, the piping and fang treatment needed to go, that was a solid call, but they continued to oversimplify, and added no additional color to the shoulder area. Especially with the yellow helmets, the jersey needs more navy. What they wound up with was one step forward, and two steps back; a jersey devoid of personality, that looks like it belongs at the practice facility.

Morgan33 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Outlining the white piping with a navy stripe of any size would fix things, as would putting the guitar-pick patches on both shoulders. They were really close and where the hell is that road jersey? They're the only team left to unveil one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
