MarkAtnip Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Allow me to put this to rest for what is without a doubt a LARGE majority of SSUR-ers with ANY sense of tradition and a concept of what is truly right and wrong with sports uniforms. The day the wings hit the ice with colors other than red and white will in fact be the 7th sign of the apocalypse and the person that designs those jerseys will be thrown into a lake of burning hell after being beaten in the groin with a cricket bat to assure that they NEVER reproduce thier evil kind. Their wife will be prostitued for quarters and their children sent to Neverland Ranch wearing peek-a-boo speedo swimshorts.There are some things that are beyond change. Wings jerseys being two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 ESPN StoryNoting that in 1927, when known as the Detroit Falcons, the franchise had both red and black striping, the Red Wings have announced their new uniforms will contain black accents."The history of this franchise is very important to us, as are the fan?s desires." said owner Mike Ilitch. "We feel the fan want to see a more modern look. With Detroit?s Lions adding black with such great success recently, I thought it was only natural to bring the same look to the Red Wings."Reebok designers worked with the Red Wings to bring a fresh look to the new style form-fitting jerseys. ?The fan?s reception to the black practice jerseys was so overwhelmingly positive, we capitalized on that for the new design of the game jerseys.?The jerseys are said to closely resemble the current practice jerseys, as Reebok has stated most NHL teams? new jerseys will, but with black cuffs and collar and black panels under the white gusset inserts.The new Red Wings home jersey will be red, and will feature a mid-weight ULTRAFIL polyester construction, as well as double layered shoulders, black interlock neck trim, reinforced stitching on the shoulders and armholes, with black cuffs and white polyester mesh gusset inserts for better ventilation. Below the gussets, the jersey will be black. The flying wheel chest crest will feature a black drop shadow, and the jersey will have black player numbers under the white player name. Piping across the shoulders will be reflective white.The new jersey, to be released after the Stanley Cup finals, will be available for purchase for fans who want to get a step ahead of the 2006-2007 season.

Puckguy14 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Chris, you confirming this black then? I just e-mailed my buddy with the Sharks, who is in charge of their website. He has access to the NHL's media site. This is CONFIRMED. Black will be used in their uniform scheme next season. He doesn't quite know where. If anything watch for an updated version of the logo. It's the end of the hockey world as we know it. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the end of hockey will be if the Leafs win the Stanley Cup in the next 5 years...hell...it would signal the end of the world!I'm a big fan of hockey jerseys and logos, one of the main reasons I like hockey so much is because of it, but I am willing to give these jerseys a chance...I mean... as much as I would like it to go the way of the Cooper-als, I'm willing to give it a chance...

IceCap Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Sounds like Reebok just wrecked one of the best jerseys in the NHL.BLACK DOES NOT BELONG ON A RED WINGS JERSEY! And they're on their way to wrecking an other one. I've heard a lot of rumours that they're changing Montreal's red sweaters. On a positive note, I've heard the Leafs will remain classic in style.

CMUBrent Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Wow, they're going after Montreal's jerseys as well? Is anything safe anymore?I'm surprised Reebok hasn't asked the Wings and Habs to change Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard's numbers from 9 to 40 and 56.
