Tonight is the first time that the red alternates have been worn this season. The helmets have a matte finish (which I can't recall seeing in the NHL before? Anyone know??) Last season, I am pretty sure there was just the normal "glossy" helmet finish. Personally I kind of like it as something different in the league , and the matte finish plays off of the muted tones of the jersey. The matte helmets are sweet, really complements the look. I hope that NHL teams continue to play with helmet finishes and color combos, its such an otherwise ignored part of the uniform in most sets and now even moreso in many cases due to team branding being subbed out for a random corporate logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Before teams started whoring out the space, helmets were an ideal space for team wordmarks, an often-overlooked part of a hockey team identity. The Red Wings did it best, but the Blackhawks used to do it for a while in the '90s, I believe, and the Devils under Lamoriello of course just had "DEVILS" in black or white Impact. The Canadiens are a team you would think would have some timeless script like the New York Yankees but they don't at all. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are pretty nice and a great fit with the throwback primary jerseys. It's interesting how monochrome uniforms are hated in some sports and accepted or even liked in other sports though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why they did it, but that's not the reason. They don't wear shells. They have seperate black pants. I think most teams probably have different pants instead of using shells these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTConcepts Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 The League has unveiled this year's Stadium Series logo: The colors definitely pop, and the handwritten font is an interesting choice. No word on jerseys yet. 5 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this is further proof that the Devils should utilize green in their color scheme. 1 Quote https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I'm sure I'm late to the party, but I see the Flyers have returned to the double logo center ice look, which suits them and their logo so much better. Most teams make make more sense with single, large logos at center ice, but teams whose logos are more horizontal than vertical are more suited for the double logo look. Habs need to be the next to make this switch back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs need to be the next to make this switch back. I think the Ducks could as well. I really like the double logo look and I can't explain why. I can't say that I prefer it, and I think if every team did it I wouldn't like it as much, but I think more teams should do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFirestormToPurify Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I can't figure out how to post Twitter links on here cause I'm a 30 year old boomer and this could be nothing but the Canadiens have been selling a 1909 Fanatics jersey since 2021 or so and now they're doing a bobblehead night Here's the clickbait article containing the link https://www.allhabs.com/Major-scoop-accidentally-revealed-by-the-Montreal-Canadiens-294595 And curiously, the pants would be white instead of navy this time around Like I said, could be nothing. If it was up to me, the 1945 white jerseys that are essentially the current home jerseys with the colors flipped would be full time alternates, worn 10-15 times a year but a random throwback once a year would be a nice alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttep Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Interested to see how white pants would look on the ice when not paired with white jerseys and socks. Haven't liked any recent jerseys that utilized white pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
