Morgan33 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 In the case of Belleville the 'B' is for bland. I'll never understand the fascination about the Times New Roman letter on two stripes. It's lazy, boring and the absence of gold would make the Senators look like all the other red and black teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's possible that someone in the Sens organisation thinks the Centurion is more marketable that just the letter O. I fully understand the perspective that the character has no connection to anything related to Senators, and it shouldn't be the logo. I wouldn't mind seeing a return to their roots with a traditional rebrand. But it feels like someone doesn't like that idea because they had a chance to change this summer, but opted not to. They keep passing up the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arm stripes (which should be upper arm) look like they're in the normal spot on today's jerseys, with the shoulder patch looking like it's where the numbers would be.

Goalie jerseys used to be notoriously unregulated. While that picture doesn't show it as well as some others, I'd guess that thing is crazy loose and way too big, resulting in the odd placement of the patch and stuff you noticed and (most important) a flying squirrel effect when the arms are spread.

habsfan1 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 After some time passed to get used to the new collars, here's the thing. The new design is refreshing and well done for coloring. But the only issue that still remians, from the first time I saw them until now, is that the collars are too big. Laces are going to look weird underneath those huge collars...

ldconcepts Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The crew-neck design looks nice, but there are two strikes against it, IMO. They aren't customizable enough. Compare Anaheim's old and new collars: the beige and orange clash because the collars don't allow multiple stripes, or stripes of different widths. Most teams also don't use what's there to their full potential. I don't mind the use of a half-collar like the Canucks, though collars like the Islanders look horrendous. It ruins the entire jersey IMO, and looks like they coloured in a random part blue instead of adding more colour with the pentagon. This could be fixed by making like Florida, colouring in the full collar. I'm holding further judgement until I see them in action and I see how they handle vintage designs at the Winter Classic.

M4One Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The half collar is dumb and hopefully teams will realize that and fix it next year. The Canucks should have done what the Predators did and go with the thin inner stripe that is blue, then a complete white collar for the home blue. When you look at the Stars' collar, it almost looks like you can add a third colour. There's a thin inside layer, then the half black layer that looks the same width as the white. Washington really screwed up since the vertical sleeve stripes no longer connect to the collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The crew-neck look has always looked terrible for hockey, in my opinion. These new Adidas collars ultimately ruin every sweater that's been unveiled.

Ark Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Any downside to the Adidas jerseys is offset by the fact that the hems aren't curved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still are curved, just not as bad. And I think having the stripes go with the curve looks just as bad as before, especially for a team like the Blackhawks. It's only a little better than the extreme whale tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go as far as to say the new collars ruin the adidas designs but this picture represents the absolute pinnacle of NHL collars. Montreal's uniforms never looked better when they adopted the wool lace-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it’s been decades since wool has been a part of an NHL jersey.
