NYYNYR Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 56 minutes ago, Chromatic said: So it’s nearly March, have we received any updates on potential alternates for next season? I haven't heard much, man. I don't know why, exactly, we know so little, but it appears that Ottawa's change to some form of the "=0=" uniforms is the only "certainty" to date. Outside of that, everything is a rumor. We hear now of a rumored heritage or new black SJ jersey. Canes' new owner has teased using the Whalers jersey as an alt. Everyone and their mother is waiting for the Flames to make a switch, but nothing's been confirmed. The only other team that seemed destined for a change -- and had on-the-record comments from ownership -- was the Ducks, but someone recently posted potential changes next year (from a European catalog or something), and the Ducks primaries were not changing there. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Stars were apparently planning a throwback alternate for this season, but Adidas didn't comply with that... so I'd expect that jersey to be worn next year. But that's not confirmed. Just heavily rumored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratcher Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Is it the league or the teams who decide who will get St Patrick's practice jerseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevs7 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Obviously the post - Lou Devils have kinda thrown all their strict jersey traditions out the window. Would not be surprised at all if the Devils released a 3rd jersey next year. Would have to figure it would be black and possibly have a New Jersey theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going to use orange trim, embrace it. Having the orange piping on just one side of the sleeve-stripe defies logic and taste. It's like they couldn't decide on removing orange all-together and went with a lazy compromise. There were really only three things that needed to happen to this set. The removal of the front numbers, the removal of the shoulder yokes and the implementation of the logo below as a shoulder patch. The “new” numbers are also an improvement, but I otherwise agree.

I'm not going to fabricate an opinion just for the sake of making an argument that will essentially arrive at the same conclusion! 14 hours ago, Gothamite said: I really like the diamond logo. If they insist on using orange for some reason, that’s a good use. The round logo just looks off to me. Maybe it’s the white waves, or the unbalanced treatment with the fin so far to one side. But it’s just not good. The updated fin logo is clip art. No character. The old one while not perfect, at least carries a distinct 90's retro meanness. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.

M4One Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I wouldn't read too much into that. They are far too early in the process to be picking colours. Whoever came up with that probably went with a random colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger77 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 On the new Adidas numbers for teams like Edmonton/Ottawa/etc... are there literally holes in the numbers or is that just an effect printed on them?

They are physically perforated. The goal is to get more air flowing through the back panel of the jersey so the numbers don’t get quite as soaked and also dry a little faster if they do get sweaty or snowy.

I think they're going to go green and gold. No team in the NHL wears it since Dallas rebranded, it fits Seattle well, and it ties into the Sonics identity since they most likely will be sharing Key Arena with them in the future. Also, it's bad branding to wear the same colours as your immediate rival up the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
