elliott Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Not the best matchup, but idk, I still kinda like the young guns look. If the numbers here were orange, it would be a bit more balanced. Finland vs Sweden looked pretty good, I thought. Although the NHL network with some really strange graphics decisions -- I don't have a picture of it, but they were using the Red crest from the Finland uni on a red background for Finland's "avatar" on their nhl tonight broadcast. of all colors to associate with finland.. red? come on now.

nas1787 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Europe's uniforms looked really dark and muddled on my TV screen. Basically just looked like a really dark blue blob, couldn't make out any features of the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujubeans Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Russia clearly winning the tournament in the looks department. Beautiful jerseys top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltravesty Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I really like having helmets that don't match the white jerseys. Lets have some NHL teams with that look. Especially Red Wings, Leafs, Kings, Canadiens, Predators, NYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the teams will only have one helmet for all the games. And Maybe the Kings and Preds would look good like that. The Red Wings would definitely not look good with a red helmet on the white jersey... "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

DTConcepts Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I know its been a while, but Russia vs. Sweden looked beautiful. Even with the Adidas stripes. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 While I kinda like the North American black jerseys, they made a big mistake by not incorporating more orange into the white jersey. The logo looks like it doesn't belong. Even just replacing the silver trim on the numbers with orange would make for a vast improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I've missed something earlier in the thread, but has anybody else noticed that the pants being worn in this tournament don't have brand logos? The gloves and helmets have the usual brand markings (CCM, Bauer, Warrior, etc.), but the pants are completely blank. It's not that the players are just wearing plain pant shells over their regular pants. The photo above shows that there aren't the usual logos or markings on the hip pad section, which are above what a shell would cover. Does anybody know why this is? It's clear the manufacturers made some custom pieces for this tournament. For example, all the Team NA gloves have the brand logo in the custom bright red-orange color. Were they all also asked to provide non-branded pants? If so, I wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreamSoda Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 really glad that CGI ad boards are just an ESPN deal. Those can be really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 My Uniform Rankings 1. Europe 2. Sweden 3. North America 4. Canada 5. Finland 6. USA 7. Russia 8. Czech Republic random thoughts: - North America's radially arched nameplates are a cool touch. I wish an NHL team would give that a try. - Canada's sleeve leaves (sleaves?) are one of my favorite elements on any jersey. - Europe's numbers appear to have some faux gradient in them. Still my favorite set despite this, love that double blue plus teal working together. - The USA uniforms are so bland, plus the adidas stripes. I'm really disappointed by them. Just nothing about them excites me as an American hockey fan to go out and purchase one of those. And I thought I didn't like the USA uniforms they wore in Sochi. Those look like some thought was put into them compared to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The white American sweaters are actually really nice in person. That blue one though, yeesh.

Those CGI boards are showing up on Sportsnet, too. And, they are probably here to stay for the NHL season. I've been wondering if the boards are completely blank. As for the jerseys, the more I see them, the more I feel that some of them just need a slight tweak or two to make them decent. The placement of where the stripes/colours meet seem to be a little off for me. I hate how low the socks on teams like Canada and Sweden are.

Noticed that too- can someone confirm how they look in person? it'd be weird to just see blank boards inside of the arena at an nhl game. Dribbble ...

AstroCree Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Those CGI Boards are so bizarre. There's already ads on the board but they cover it with one giant single ad on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed a couple of close up shots of faceoffs where you can see the actual in-arena ads. It makes sense though. The league/networks can sell rinks boards, while the venue is able to sell their own ads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 As long as they don't start animating them it should be fine. I'd rather they not do it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
