wildwing64 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Knowing the Sabres, they'll switch to powder blue and then surprise everyone with a brand new logo depicting a buffalo's excrement. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Harry Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The Oilers have been selling navy/dark blue player t shirts since like 2010. Looks like they're just moving out all the Reebok stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto206 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I feel like that the Oilers move to navy was a complete cash grab. During the playoffs at least 90% of the arena were in the third jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Same thing the Penguins and Cavs have been doing for years. Get all the fans to buy the superstars jerseys, then switch them up so they buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans buy new jerseys. 2018: Teams release new alternate jerseys. A lot of the same fans above buy another new jersey. If you release all three at once, most people will buy one of them. If you wait a year to unveil the third, you'll get a higher number of people buying two. You guys and your conspiracy theories. :-) 2014, 2015, 2016: 10-12 new uniforms are designed, prototyped, and manufactured (between new identities, new third jerseys, Winter/Heritage Classic, Stadium Series, and All-Star). 2017: 62 new uniforms are designed, prototyped, and manufactured, just for standard home and road use. Add another 8-10 for the events. 2018: 20-30 third jerseys are designed, prototyped, and manufactured, plus 8-10 more for the events. 2019: 10-12 new uniforms are designed, prototyped, and manufactured. Everything returns to normal and the designers can breathe.

Bayne Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 If it all comes down to making more money, then why have the Canucks had the same jersey for 10 years? I don't get that.

Well, obviously you have it all figured out, because doing 3-6 times more work than normal couldn’t possibly present a physical, mental, or logistical limitation...

Which brings us to the question of why did adidas take over the contract from its sub company if it presented all of these ridiculous manufacturing limitations... I'm not sure how bringing a straight copy of an existing design (say, Rangers, Red Wings, or Blackhawks) to an adidas template requires a lot of work. People on this board can make that design change within minutes when presented with the templates used. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

People on this board can make that design change within minutes when presented with the templates used. Do the people on this board have to secure materials, cut out cloth, sew everything together, manufacture a crest and number set, sew it all to the jersey, show it to the team, make any changes dictated by the team, rinse and repeat until the team approves? And then make enough jerseys for a whole team, and then do the same for an entire league It's almost like when you have to do more then edit an illustrator template the process becomes somewhat more complicated!

Toronto206 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 So this is kind of off-topic, but I wasn't sure where else to ask: what is the site where you send your jersey and they apply the custom twill name and numbers? I already bought a Maple Leafs jersey awhile ago, but now I want a name on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's what it takes to bring a straight copy of a existing design to an Adidas template. And while it doesn't fall squarely on the shoulders of a designer, I would definitely say it's still a lot of work, much more than opening illustrator, or gimp or paint or any software and posting it on the concept forum. A years worth of work according to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
