BBTV Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 For the record, I favor any advances in fabric / cut that make the players faster, drier, or better. I have no issues with the form-fitting cuts, as long as the individuality of each team's templates and the integrity of their logos can be preserved as much as possible.

ElwoodCuse Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 How can you ign the petition ifyou haven't even seen what these uniforms are going to look like? I'll wait before I make judgment. I don't care what these look like. This is something you just don't do.Although online petitions never solve anything anyway so it doesn't matter if you do or not.

CS85 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 the thing is, what if hockey needs this? Hockey is a monstrously traditional sport, I know, and I don't want any uniform modifications. But if it, for whatever random reason, were to boost the league's popularity, would it be worth it? Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Nylon + Ice = No FrictionWool helps create some friction to slow you down, the nylon didnt, so players when they fell slid very fast into the boards, causing more injuries.

beesharps Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 I wonder if there was this kind of furore in the 1960s when they started dumping the wool jerseys. I'll be damned if I'm gonna wear these polyester jerseys! And getting colour coded pants and gloves. What's next? Matching helmets? By Gar...

Walrus73 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Changing from wool to polyester was a minor change - the jersey, as well as the uniform design, remained the same - what seems to be taking place here is not only a new material, but completely changing the look of a hockey player with complete disregard to tradition akin to throwing away the pinstripes of the Yankees!

Phil Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 With the CFL jerseys RBK proved they have no regard for tradition, aesthetics, or good taste. Sad, but undeniably true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Name Here Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Enough with the CFL jerseys. By my count, two teams got saddled with inferior jerseys: Ottawa and Calgary. Toronto, Hamilton, and Winnipeg all improved; Edmonton and Montreal didn't change enough to be better or worse; and though I liked BC's black jersey, what's wrong with their new one?And I don't think that the style of hockey jerseys is restraining the sport's popularity. A hockey jersey is maybe the only kind of jersey that can be worn by a person of any body type. How many people wear basketball jerseys? Now, how many of those people should wear basketball jerseys?

It's the fact that RBK is messing with team designs, eliminating unique patterns in favour of making half the leauge look the same. Exactly. I understand that people are looking for an edge and tight uniforms may happen--We'll never see sleeves on a lineman again. But what I don't want to see is every team have the same template. I think that the teams can essentially have the same jersey design on a tighter version.This form-fitting thing is a done deal. I jsut hope that Reebok does not get the green light to be lazy and make them all look the same. If sports leagues want to sign deals with manufacturers to produce the jerseys, fine. But the team should be designing their own. The olympic jersey thread is what worries me for the NHL (and college whenever they go form-fitting). And the other thing. If they don't end up with large corporate logos, I'll consider that a victory. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

eww7633 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 No, I'm sure no one wants to see the NHL get Nike-ized with the same templates. But change is good sometimes, for instance the salary cap in the NHL. Let's wait and see if this could be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think that somebody like the owner of the Chicago Blackhawks, Bill Wirtz, who the Blackhawks have been in his family for 54 years, are going to allow Reebok to change those jerseys? There ain't no way in sunshine that the Hawks are going to wear jerseys that are tucked into the pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
