I don't see them doing the same base design twice in a row.

CCM is extremely unlikely considering that they don't have nearly the worldwide marketing power that Nike and Adidas do. That's why it's probably going to be Nike. There are only two hockey brands that have the kind of marketing and branding power that a league like the NHL, the largest and most prominent of its kind in the world, needs. I could be wrong, of course. Personally, I'd be very interested in how Nike handles the league and how they'd do things differently from their international efforts.

That rubber thing will most likely be replaced with the NHL logo.

The last time England won a major international tournament was before the women's national team was established!

The manufacturer can definitely come out with some stupid designs (see the Adidas sleeved NBA jerseys, some of the Nike Color Rush uniforms) but ultimately it's the team's call. If it wasn't, then we wouldn't have seen New Jersey use their standard throwback uniform for the 2014 Stadium Series when everyone else was using those dumb chrome uniforms.

So, we heard that Adidas had signed the contract to take over as the supplier in September of 2015. Hopefully that timeline lines up again and we hear about the new supplier next month so that we don't have to wait long to find out who it is.

Adidas holds the trademark.

No. Minnesota has a rich hockey history - probably more than any other state in the country with the exception of Stanley Cup wins. A team in Minnesota can be traditional if they like. Those jerseys were a bad product of the late 90s/early 2000s and not something that should be brought back.

Tampa Bay could've found a happy medium. Their Reverse Retro shows that they could've just updated their original look to the modern day. The problem with Tampa Bay going with such a traditional look is that there's no precedent for that. It's not like Minnesota where the state has a long and storied history so the team wearing a very traditional look isn't out of the ordinary. Tampa is a team of the 90s in a non-traditional market so they don't need to try so hard to look like a 100-year-old team, but at the same time, they don't need to look like a gaudy 90s monstrosity. The first Edge set was, like so many others, a mistake. They learned from it but they didn't have to head in the direction that they did. The Oilers and Islanders both ditched their awful Edge sets and went with looks that looked better and worked for them. The Lightning didn't because Steve Yzerman wanted to ape the Original Six, much like how black and gold were so prominent in the Ducks' rebrand because Brian Burke wanted the team to look like West Point.

I don't hate it. I'm not sure if I like it yet but I don't hate it. They didn't change the core foundation of the helmet design and it's still very conservative.

That Canucks RR is awful from top to bottom.

What's the significance of the 1962?

It's supposed to be a further development of the 2003-07 alternate. http://www.nhluniforms.com/BlueJackets/BlueJackets02.html
