Ark Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The Golden Knights have possibly the best uniform set in the league. That alone makes them relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTConcepts Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Was looking for a picture of the Wild in their new Adidas jerseys, and stumbled upon this. https://www.lids.com/minnesota-wild-adidas-nhl-youth-jersey-long-sleeve-t-shirt/20850533 What the ? It says it's a Reebok t-shirt, but it looks just like a jersey. And not like a jersey the Wild have ever worn. Any ideas? "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

Sure, the uniforms look good, and they're basically sold out, for the first three years. The owner has still made some questionable calls, primarily regarding their sports network choice. They have yet to play a regular season game. I'm willing to give them room to succeed, but they haven't actually accomplished anything yet.

Funny that you cherry-picked the two warm weather locations with teams currently struggling (though Carolina won a Cup) to suit your opinion. But ignored the fact that the NHL has flourished in LA, Anaheim, San Jose, Nashville, Tampa, and Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a market a lot of people had written off, but managed to turn it around. Right now they even seem to be NBC's new darling franchise, jumping from 2 national TV dates to 7. There's a sentence I never thought I'd be writing, a year ago. They're still not the proven draw the Blackhawks, Rangers or Bruins are, but this is a franchise that nearly moved to Hamilton, a decade ago.

But ignored the fact that the NHL has flourished in LA, Anaheim, San Jose, Nashville, Tampa, and Dallas. I did that on purpose. I said I could be wrong but it feels like a situation like Arizona and Carolina, where the fans' interest has been tepid. You're right, to a degree. Some of those fanbases that you had mentioned have flourished. But you cannot say that Tampa, Dallas, or even LA are as hockey-crazed as a potential city like Quebec City. Even Seattle (not a warm weather city) is a bad choice for an expansion team. All I am saying is that Las Vegas seems to be a bad choice. But this is a hockey uniform and logo thread, so I will say it again. I love the Golden Knights' identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Thought we went over this before: the lion's share of the resentment toward the Golden Knights is that two cities applied for two expansion teams but only one city got one. The league's message that no 32nd team at all was better than a 32nd team in Quebec City was among the larger dumps the NHL has taken on its core fanbase (not to mention the city that did everything the league asked, including building a half-billion-dollar arena that will now host major-junior games and Habs preseason tossoffs) and it's hard for the ill will not to spill over into Vegas, who technically didn't cause this turn of events but were still close enough to it to be annoyed with them. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Also, Bill Foley comes off as a super dingus who might not be able to fill his arena with comp tickets by 2020 if he's allowed to be in charge of things. Very nice uniforms, though.

daniel75 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 There are 3 things I hate with these new sweaters. 1. Those god awful collars. 2. The metallic NHL shield. 3. Those stupid looking shoulder dimples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like the front crests are sublimated or screened...there's some kind of twill patch on the Avs, Predators, GKnights, and Leafs. They say the crests are lighter weight and easier to fold. Looks like the shoulder patches are screened twill. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Is it possible the front crests are woven, like the shoulder patches on many of the new Adizero jerseys?

DIYsportsguy Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I didn't get a great look, but I think there is some Lextra happening on the "C" on the Red Wings sweater they show. I am really intrigued to get my hands on one of these. Not excited, because I expect to be underwhelmed, but intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
