You're right, it does look similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're selling the $180 Adizero jerseys for $220 blank, $280 customized. While most of the customized jerseys have the fully-sewn two-layer numbering, all of the Kane and Toews jerseys are done with the thin, screened twill from the Reebok replicas, presumably because these were customized at the factory. Still charging $280 for them, though. The material feels a little heavier than Adidas' World Cup of Hockey replicas, and the shoulders are double-layer, but there's no reinforcement on the elbows. The chain-stitching looks gorgeous, as always. The practice jerseys, which are all printed except for the Adidas logos on the front and back, are being sold for $150. The retail authentics actually have the chain-stitched logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think whoever was in charge of the redesigns really hates unmatching socks for some reason. Boston, Columbus, Vancouver, who else? Sometimes, the different socks go well together wth the rest of the package. Boston usually nailed it during new uniform unveilings, until now. It's a start but the Canucks have finally addressed their mismatching socks stripes. Here's an image of their pre-season game in China vs the Kings.

Bayne Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Columbus' thin red stripe is so dumb to me. Why can't they beef it up a little? Would look so much better. Apart from that I don't mind their look. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twi Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The patch/logo for the All Star game. Will stand out on the Lightning jerseys for sure. I think the plan is to wear the 25th anniversary patch at home and the All Star patch on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLion Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Always find it odd when the NHL All-Star logos/patches make no reference to the host franchises (only the cities) but OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair, the Lightning used your strategy back in 99 when they hosted before: Honestly, I like them taking the approach to represent the city and not necessarily the team identity. The Tampa Bay 2018 logo is amazing. Anyone think the 4 color for the division jerseys will be blue, black, orange, and yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The only thing with the Tampa All Star logo is it looks very Florida Panthers pre-redesign with the colors and the palm trees. Not being a resident of Tampa nor never have been there, if there's a local connection it's lost on me, aside that sun/beach/palm trees= Florida.

It may just be the resolution of the image, or an out of place stitch, but the star in that logo does seem to have a lightning bolt looking shape on the bottom left point. So while it isn't major, it does at least make a subtle reference to the host team. Unless, it is in fact some sort of error in the logo's reproduction.

WSU151 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Kinda hoping there will be a chromified edition of the All-Star patch that will use a better sunset gradient. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being from Tampa, the 2018 ASG falls during the same weekend as Tampa's Gasparilla, which is Tampa's Mardi Gras-type event. The two events will be working together and I assume that's why we see more red/orange. ....and no, I don't get a Florida Panthers feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he means is that between the two Florida franchises, the Panthers seem to own the sun/palm tree imagery. It does seem a little odd to feature a sunny beach in a logo for an all star game being hosted by a team called the Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
