The_Admiral Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'd have kept nameplates above the numbers but those look good otherwise. I particularly like the straight hemlines. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'd have kept nameplates above the numbers but those look good otherwise. I particularly like the straight hemlines.the NWHL(for how much this is worth in a first year league) uses name plates under the numbers for almost all(giving myself a buffer for the rare exception if it exists) the jerseys and games.Personally; I love it and wish all leagues did it Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The "heavier" element, i.e. the numbers, should be under the lighter one. Having the name under the numbers makes it look like an afterthought: yeah yeah yeah, play for the name on the front and all that arglebargle, but you'd be better off not having a name on the back at all if that's the case. Just seems like a contrivance to me to do it this way when 99% of the sports world does it the other way. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Ah yes, the nameplate underneath the number; one of the things I did not miss when I made it to rep hockey.As for the jerseys, I'm assuming that the letter on the front is for the captain's name. If so, that's kinda cheesy. They would've been better off with the league logo or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I believe the names are on the bottom because of ponytails and long hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ROY Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I believe the names are on the bottom because of ponytails and long hair.That makes sense since I only see women's hockey teams do this. I guess you really do learn something every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you really do learn something every day.Yep, that's exactly it. Having announced NCAA women's hockey, I wished that was a more common thing. 90% of nameplates are pointless because they're at least partially obscured all the time. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The Beauts should borrow that logo for their regular crest. Put some kind of B in the middle, if you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I know people don't care for these All-Star sweaters but it's nice to kinda-sorta see the NHL shield in its proper orange and black. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'll come out and say it; I love the new All Star Jerseys. I like it when the design is based off the franchise of the host and for the first time in awhile, we have something clean and understated. The uniforms from Minnesota were last to do this right.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Orgo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Manitoba Moose wearing special "Polar Bear" jerseys tonight.What they should be wearing for primaries (with the main logo, obviously), IMOSince TNSE was considering Bears/Polar Bears as a team name before they picked the Jets, we do wonder if this is what they're supposed to look.I was at the other Marlies-Moose game and I was pleasantly surprised to see the Marlies with their alt and the Moose with their road uniforms.Loved the Marlies alt, but that style doesn't work for the Leafs.

Morgan33 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 but they don't have anything to do with the franchise...They use their gold colour as trim, have the 'triple star' graphic from the secondary logo, on the collars, and use fonts inspired from Nashville's music scene. Might be subtle but its more than any of the other recent hosts have done since Minnesota knocked it out of the park in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
