Yes, I know it's CGI, which is why I said projected onto the glass.

Well that wouldn’t imply that you knew it was CGI, but just double checking. You never know.

Gazzola worked for the Oilers until a few months ago. I think he is talking about the new alternate.

 

How soon can teams make changes to the Adidas uniforms? The Oilers should go back to their previous set.

[Ark 2,036]

They should go back to these

It's been about a year since the Oilers switched to orange primaries...

 

I still don't like it. Go back to blue.

[insert name 4,088]

Yeah, the Oilers really butchered this whole new era and their uniforms. 

[B-mer 765]

The oilers road jersey is perfectly fine to me. If they went with a navy blue version with orange yoke, sans the orange cuffs it would be near perfect

That's nice, but I think having 18 teams with the same white jerseys with the word "Confidential" will get pretty confusing 

 

But seriously, I assume this legit, right?

My first thought is that it is legit, but an older copy of the catalog...

 

It's weird how some team names are just the nickname, and some are full names (Colorado Avalanche, Winnipeg Jets). And it's also weird that in an adidas catalog, they still use PCY as the abbreviation for the Coyotes. You'd think adidas would no longer refer to anything as Phoenix...no real reason it's not ACY for the Arizona Coyotes.

And stranger still that they’re alphabetized that way.  “Colorado Avalanche” comes between “Capitals” and “Coyotes”.  “Blue Jackets” is the first item on our alphabetized list, and “Winnipeg Jets” the last.

Haven’t seen an adidas catalog yet to comment on that specific image, but that’s the frustration of ordering this stuff. No idea what it looks like when orders due. Particularly frustrating for things like the Olympics, outdoor and event games, all-star stuff, etc. 

 

Heck, orders are due today or tomorrow for Conference and Cup champs apparel! $40 t-shirt that we only vaguely know what it will look like, weeeeeeeee!

It's odd because the Stars have been saying for a few years now to expect an alternate this season.

 

And didn't Adidas say every team would get an alternate?

[McCarthy 10,911]

I've heard rumors the Blue Jackets would be the same color scheme as these

 

 

But haven't heard if it'll be the same design or a new look entirely. 

[AstroBull21 1,842]

There was a quick rumor around Tampa Bay close to the All Star Weekend that the Lightning could consider including colors like gray or volt yellow in an alternate, but I don't know how true the thoughts were.

I'm curious, where'd you hear this?

No. This is the unintended consequence of others posting unsubstantiated “reports.” It inevitably leads to good, reliable people misinterpreting, miscrediting, or misremembering where the info came from. 

 

No no offense to you, of course.

Reddit so I'd take it with a whole silo of salt.

The Avs/Jets/ and Predators must have their location name along with their mascot name, per the NHL.

Really?  Why?

It’s an issue with trademarking, I think. It’s the same reason why some Transformers have the name Autobot/Decepticon __________ instead of just their name. TFWiki gives a good explanation of it.
