I don't see how a leak should affect the process that much. release professional photos/videos of the entire uniform and get out the information to people who aren't in the loop at all times of potential leaks. maximize excitement and audience for the ultimate goal of jersey sales and money Fair point, but surprises during unveilings still hits different.

Klondyke Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Knights jerseys tonight don't have an ad on them. They specifically unveiled the ads on the gold jersey They HAVE been on the jerseys in pre-season, but only the pre-season games in Vegas. My only guess is that the ad deal is tied to when they actually wear the jerseys at home (tonights game is in LA and LA is wearing their 3rds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kings chrome helmets look like something out of a movie which everyone who watches goes “These people have never actually seen a hockey game. That would never happen.” You could say that about white breezers, too.

Nevada is one of the few states that allows it so Vegas has it at home, no matter the color jersey. 1 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool on paper, but in practice it looks like a 12-year-old child picked the 2 "coolest" looking uniforms on NHL 23, save for the Vegas chrome domes, and went to town. But whatever floats your boat, I guess. I just think it's 2 teams trying too hard to be cool. 1 1 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayGloria Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 16 hours ago, the admiral said: The NHL is in the worst of both worlds, where online fans are re-embracing the terrible aesthetics of the late '90s and early 2000s that people hated at the time while embracing the small southern markets that people at least had the good sense to resent at the time. Jerking off over both the fire-snorting horse and the entire Carolina Hurricanes organization is just, man, never thought I'd see the day. Maybe I am out of the loop, but do people love the Hurricanes branding? I get 90s thing... it's just the time we are in and it's happening in other parts of our culture as well. Might be annoying for some and I get that. But, I just don't see the love for the southern markets that you see. I kind of think the NHL is in a pretty good place. A lot of the franchises have some solid primary sets. Thirds/Heritage are used appropriately. Special game jerseys may be a tad hokey, but that's the point.

Some kind of league rule about gambling-related ads. Thread starts here: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s a good thing that a lot people have come to their senses and realized that resenting new markets & fanbases who are interested in hockey wasn't in the best interest of the sport. But don’t worry, I still see plenty of people who see southern markets as a threat to their Canadian/Northeastern/Midwestern sensibilities instead of a sign that the sport is growing. As for the uniform trends, these things are always cyclical. The fad of ‘90s/‘00s over the top designs coming back will fade. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the article, it looks like these STH beanies are hinting at the striping pattern for the Kraken reverse retro jersey. The anchor might be a clue as well, but that isn't as obvious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I guess half ice blue is better than none. I still just want an all ice blue jersey with a navy anchor logo. 1 Quote Last updated 5/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
