I actually LOVED those jerseys!

Has anyone noticed the new weird rear collar tags on the CCM AHL jerseys? It would also appear that all teams are now using a faux lace collar. Also, are the Laval Rocket the only team in any pro league that uses just one set of numbers for the backs of all their jerseys, home and road?

Damn! That is pretty!

Before it was leaked by the NHL Shop, the Ducks orange third jersey was not revealed until they came out wearing it for the opening faceoff (I don't think they even wore it for warmups) about a week into the season. And the third jersey they revealed in 2010 was not unveiled until game time the day after Thanksgiving. With the exception of the Stadium Series jersey, the last time they introduced an alternate any earlier than game day was the black one with the eggplant sleeve stripes they introduced in 2003!

Notice that every picture the Ducks have released of this jersey is Made in Indonesia, but does NOT have the notorious Adidot at the hem!

One thing that is lost in this discussion is that technically, this is actually Adidas' first NHL jersey that has straight hem stripes. (Might not be perfectly horizontal, but they are straight.)

Those Moncton jerseys are indeed brand new, which might explain why all of them have the Q50th patch, Only the first draft picks from the other teams had the 50th logo on their jersey (most of them cheaply slapped on) instead of the standard LHJMQ logo. They probably times this on purpose to coincide with the opening of their brand new arena this year, (Sadly, i did not attend the draft this year like I did the last two, so I was unable to provide any updated logos or jerseys that were unveiled.) I like the updated version of the shoulder logo that replaces all black with blue. If they actually did it with the primary logo, I would consider it a nice upgrade.

The new QMJHL 50 patch is huge! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Des4TGOVAAADlhk?format=jpg

It's probably a result of the stadium lighting, but the Maple Leafs all white uniforms make them look like moving halogen light bulbs!

From the Montreal Canadiens, #18, Serve Savard... ...and, #18, Denis Savard!

I actually visited the team boutique at Stade Saputo today and asked about a new kit and they said the Impact are not getting one this year. The one Adidas proposed was apparently "so ugly they rejected it", so nothing will be different in Montreal this year.

I'd laugh if they used the ode English method of writing out Roman numerals and brand the one after as Super Bowl LIIII! (Mockups welcome! ?)

What's unusual is that after wearing it outside, they changed the name font from this skinny gothic font to their new blocky name font. But tonight, (and I know this because I'm posting this from ice level of the Canadian Tire Centre) they're wearing the skinny font again.
