gordie_delini Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 face it folks - its the apocolypse for the hockey uniform - after the templating and the form fitting, it WILL be the corporate logos. it's already begun in the minors - teams have the sponsor patches, and they're growing. tis a sad sad day for the sport of hockey. i hope RBKs sales tank.

MC Buffalo Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Dangit, they can't change the style of the jerseys it would be non traditional.....In fact get them masks off the goalies, in my day goalies didn't wear them. In fact most of these games should be played outdoors on a pond who wants to watch hockey in a climate controlled building with waitress service in the club level and replays on the scoreboard. And while they are at it the games that are broadcast on TV should ONLY be shown in Black and White, that's the way the traditionalists used to watch the game......For those who are sarcasm detection impaired that was all sarcasm.... The only thing Rbk has been tasked to do at this point is design a new uniform style.... it will be up to the individual teams to make decisions on stripe designs, piping, color schemes etc... Some teams may be forced into slight changes based on the jersey being tucked in or not tuched in but any radical changes will have to be blamed on the teams themselves for saying OK.I'm thrilled with the change because the Sabres have hinted that they are taking this opportunity to change the Sabres identity. Hopefully this means a return to Blue and Gold and maybe a whole new main logo which will update the old one and kill the killer goat for once and for all.

The Sabers have stated before that they are IN FACT (happy RC?) changing their uniforms and logo, and if I remember correctly, they are using the old yellow and blue colour scheme. The one reason I can see behind the tucking is to decrease hooking, because the blade would be un-able to get caught under the hem of the jersey. I personally can see this as part of the reasoning, but at the same time, it will look beyond stupid.

izombie Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 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. In my humble opinion this is the crux of the whole deal. RBK have the jerseys tied up for them selves, if they change the style, material and look of these jerseys imagine the knock-on effect for all the designers, manufacturers and supplies of jerseys.Here in the UK most teams think the only route to go is sublimated jerseys and bloody awful they are too, covered in sponsors and cheap looking. There's only two companies over here trying to keep the tradition of heavyweight, embroidered/twill jerseys, me being one.Teams should be the ONLY ones to decide what style and what design they should have not the league, you don't go to the game to watch and support the league do you? Nope you go to watch and support the team!The top league over here, the Elite League, choose and make the teams wear jerseys made for them during the play-offs. These are made by my competitor, the teams have no choice who gets to supply their jerseys for the play-offs and it's like a kick in the teeth for my company, who have already sorted designs etc for the season. These jerseys are then auctioned off at the end of the season and the league takes the money!!!Now imagine all the power RBK have in a much bigger and more well known league around the world.Malky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Did anybody in Canada catch SportsnetNews (with Don "God" Taylor) last night? They had a press conference in Vancouver about the Giants hosting the 2007 Memorial Cup. If featured Trevor Linden and Stan Smyl wearing WHL jerseys, which were made by Reebok, and appeared to look like Team Canada's 2002 red jerseys only without the stripes at the bottom and a thinner less curvier collar. The overall look to them was not like a regular jersey, but at the same time, it didn't look too bad.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

OnWis97 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 .... it will be up to the individual teams to make decisions on stripe designs, piping, color schemes etc... I hope that's true. 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."

TML-GBP 4 Life Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 If the jerseys do end up all looking a like and they have "the tuck" then the biggest thing we can all do to prevent the use of these jerseys is to not buy them. The NHL, RBK, and the individual teams love the revanue from merchandise and this will realy show them. I haven't see one fan with the new Team Canada jerseys yet, but we'll see if they are popular with the fans this week in Torino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walrus73 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Some players seem to hate this new Reebok jersey as well; not just the GMs:There was only one thing anyone liked about the prototype, form-fitting Rbk Hockey jersey ("It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life," said Oleg Kvasha) that Alexei Yashin was asked to try this week: the captain's "C" was missing.http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/s...db2506c&k=82607 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Actually, my thought on this is that they're going to re-brand all of the current NHL jerseys as "Vintage" and sell them side-by-side along the new crapfests, thereby ensuring they'll keep the revenue stream of sane hockey fans while generating new income from idiots.

Or they'll only sell authentic versions of the new crap so they can still sell the old ones for $85 and blame the $200+ price point for fans not touching them.

beesharps Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 One thing that I will be glad to see the end of, quite frankly, is the lace up collar on jerseys. That started out as piece of quaint authenticity (on the Rangers jersey), then overused, and is now just a cheap gimmick. Futuristic looking jerseys (ie NY Islanders third jersey) with retro lace ups makes for a squalid mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of lace-up collars in trade for craptastic modern jerseys seems like a pretty lousy trade off to me.I'd rather have lace-up jerseys than jerseys you are supposed to tuck into your friggin' pants!
